When there's TOO MANY PLANES as an Air Traffic Controller!

Part 2! Mini Airways, whilst similar looking and in name to Mini Motorways, is a stress inducing game about managing air traffic!

[@caneighdianjake8439]

I think you underestimate the usefulness of the navigational point. It is very useful in ordering and lining up planes towards a runway. I usually send incoming flights to a navigational point so that I have a flow of incoming planes coming from a single direction towards a runway. That way I dont have to juggle several inbound planes flighing in random directions.

[@xwsh7641]

In the last ep he thought that it meant you control outbound planes that have reached their colours. Which is worse because the planes just poof away when you arrive at a colour adding that would just add another layer of complexity.

[@TimoWoTB]

Yeah me as an aviation expert really hurts to watch this when someone doesn’t know waypoints and holding patterns.

[@der.Schtefan]

He clearly does not play MSFS 2020 or watch ATC vids

[@joshdavis5215]

Mix in those with a hold point foe go arounds when things get tight

[@Cake_RL]

As a pilot irl, when you uploaded the first vid, I installed this game faster than anything I’ve ever done. It’s super addictive. Just a warning, it gets really complicated on later

The easteregg of the hudson river crash is an interesting inclusion in the game! I wonder if theyll include other events that are similar in other cities

7:10 oh it's captain sully saving everyone!

[@thompsongunner27]

That was my first thought when I saw Cactus for the callsign, and realized it was 1549.

[@TheHorzabora]

… oh RCE, never change. Those Hold and Navigation Waypoints are pretty much essential to getting high scores, the hold in particular! But I do absolutely want you to keep playing it! Far more entertaining than clickers, or even Hydroneer!

[@scottbitz5222]

I saw those and I'm like, has RCE ever lived near an airport?! Because if he had, he'd know that the only way real Air Traffic Controller manage is by having planes circle. Of course, reality has this nice thing about having 3D space so that 2 planes can cross without even coming close to crossing!

[@GregMcNeish]

For the crossover runway, an important consideration is the time a landing plane spends stopped on the runway to taxi, so you should think of both runways as being one-way heading AWAY from the crossover point. That way, when a plane lands on one runway, it doesn't sit there blocking the OTHER runway for a couple precious seconds. I generally take that one-way approach to all runways in this game, regardless of the level. I find it exponentially easier to control traffic to flow in a single direction, and if you always take off planes in the same direction you land them, you can minimize the wait time, and dramatically reduce the chances of a collision. Also, with this pre-release demo, the leaderboard isn't actually active to the playing community. My record on the Tokyo level is over 400 points, for instance.

[@scody159hs]

What's the tokyo strat? Do u use holds like missed approach holds? And waypoints like IAP?

[@flappyboi38]

2:20 In real life, it's the opposite: planes in the air have priority over planes on the ground.

[@SinnerD2010]

That was some architect level ATCing there. Somethings I found out: you can use destinations as makeshift waypoints for all traffic. way I used waypoints was basically to normalize flight corridors, mainly for setting up inbounds on pre final approach, they work good as catch alls for inbounds, also sometimes for points where I needed a precise timed hard turn. the holding patterns suck ass, I had only two planes in one, and they still somehow crashed into each other when one speed demon pilot caught up with the other. Expedite upgrade seem to be only really worth it for like 4-5 upgrades, then they don't seem to affect the turn radius much more.

[@Sleeper____1472]

The Miracle on the Hudson is considered the most successful emergency water landing by an airliner.

[@officialnucky]

As someone flying to Kos tomoorow from England, I truely appreciate this video and PRAY Matt isn't an air traffic controller in his spare time

[@MattJDylan]

Kos... or some say... Kosm... grant eyes to the traffic controllers!

9:41 If only BMW started making jets, I mean, can't they just let the ban on BMW plane engines go? It's been 80 years already.

[@DanniV8]

As a pilot of a BMW I would like to inform you that this is not your airport and we will land wherever we see fit. Your job is to keep our runways clear for us when we need them.

[@Cake_RL]

You can use other colored destinations as waypoints. Like you can use a blue waypoint to guide a red or gray etc

[@jimmymcgoochie5363]

Matt: commenting on how close together two planes will land. Also Matt: NoOo ThEy CrAsHeD iNtO eAcH oThEr!?

i got happy tingles when i saw the mayday say bird strike, lost both engines and returning to LaGuardia, because i actually knew what was being referenced.

And I thought Biffa ran those planes in tight places, You stressed me out, Matt! LOL

6:15 the orange dot was at the bottom and glitched to the top and the orange plane switched runways...what kind of trickery is happening here matt???

It's called video editing. It jumped from the start of Day 4 to over halfway through Day 4. The destinations change position as you play

[@StegianChild]

As someone that works at the airport with the most runways in the world (it’s O’Hare, IL, USA with 8) I hope they have O’Hare in this game! He thinks 2 are bad!😂😂

[@DarrylCross]

Weird that New York is only the second level. It should be the level that is the ultimate test of your skills; basically if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.

[@swenmcheath1798]

there are so many more difficult airports in this world, NY is nothing compared to them

[@ulysseslee9541]

choose the way point, it is the most must take upgrade of the game, and you will easier to queue up the approaching planes, like real world ATCs.

[@justicedunham4088]

There’s a reason airports don’t use crossing runways at the same time (it’s wind direction and wind speed)

it's fun to watch you do this! i recommend you try to get acclimated with the hold points more as they help once things REALLY get clogged

I love watching this game. Really satisfying and stressful at the same time. More!

[@themisterchristie]

I downloaded this after your first video and love it. Very addictive and stressful. I like the editor in there and made a map based on my local small airport. I just wish, for the runway length slider in the editor, that you could actually set the number of feet or meters for the runway, all it does is change the length without showing what the actual length is.

[@airmail333]

5:40 that would be the Blue Angels. Close!

[@how2pick4name]

I've had this on my tablet for like ten years now. Just the landing but it looks pretty much identical. Nicely "borrowed" from the mini people.

The reason Shanghai airport is right next to restricted airspace is because a large portion of China is restricted, leading to irregular and angular airports

To be a bit realistic planes have to go at least 2 loops around the Shanghai airport before landing😆
