Just a Quickie - Flight Control HD

If you feel like sitting back and being in charge, why not be in charge of the busiest and most uncoordinated airport in world? Welcome to Flight Control where you must guide coloured planes to their respective runways without killing hundreds of people, I mean, crashing the empty planes. Wait, then who’s flying them? Remote autopilot, yeah.


The game is as simple as clicking and dragging a path for the plane to take to get it its matching coloured runway, but it quickly becomes much deeper than that. Different maps have different aircraft, each varying in size and speed. Helicopters are slow while big jumbo jets are bigger and faster than their smaller counterparts. You have to juggle seaplanes and light aircraft alike in a sky that becomes more congested than a freeway in peak hour.

There are lots of maps to try; some have unique features that will change how you prioritise your aircraft. One map has emergency landings where planes come in that you can’t control. Others have shifting wind conditions that make some runways unusable while another has stunt aircraft that you must fly through cones to earn points.

There is enough variety and enjoyment to be had for hours as you challenge yourself to beat your own high scores. It is another one of those games that is simple to play, but hard to master, especially when you’ve got a dozen aircraft queued and three warning sirens of potential midair collisions going off.
