FS is pilot-focused. They dont simulate the exciting world of ticket counters
and baggage limits. But there is probably a german sim that, from the makers
of AirportSimulator (see nerdcubed's coverage of that series). German
simulators are a strange market niche.

I heard that game has some cult followers in Korea. Some gamers buy steering
wheels and gears, put on the monitor a sticker saying "Freight Union", wear
fingerless gloves and a red Freight Union vest, and start driving while

This reminds me of a story I read in PCGamer long ago (I tried searching for
the article, but I don't even know if it was published online). The author got
into their seat for a flight, next to someone with a gaming laptop running a
flight simulator. They chatted about video games for a while, and the gamer
explains that they like to set up the simulator to play the same flight they
are currently taking, and try to take off and land at the same time.

About halfway through the flight, the gamer remarks that the pilot is wrong,
and not taking the best route for the flight. The flight sim path and real
plane are going in slightly different directions. They try to tell a flight
attendant who assures them know "the pilot knows what they're doing." The
remaining half of the flight they complained to either the author or other
attendants, acting like they knew more than the staff.

They never got to finish their flight-sim though, because the real plane
landed 20 minutes ahead of schedule. I guess the pilot did take a different

still angry. Should i serve meal early or wait until nearer to finish? "

 the article, but I don't even know if it was published online). The writer got 
 into their seat for a flight, next to someone with a gambling laptop running a

 explains that they like to set up the simulator to play the same flight they 
 are currently take, and try to accept off and land at the same time. 

 About halfway through the flight, the gamer note that the pilot is wrong, 
 and not taking the good road for the flight. The flight sim way and real 
 plane are going in slightly different focus. They try to state a flight 
 accompaniment who assures them know " the pilot burner knows what they're doing. " The 
 persist half of the trajectory they complained to either the author or other 
 attendants, acting like they knew more than the staff. 

 They never got to finish their flight - sim though, because the actual plane
