Ah, yes, this seems to be an excellent example of "someone caring very much about things I don't care about at all" Still wish everyone involved the best of luck! Licensed vehicle models, upcoming DLC, hope it all works out!

I'm sort of reminded of the VR job simulator. (I can job!) To someone, all this is job description stuff. But to others this is super fascinating. I've met lots of train people who would do train stuff for free just for fun.

    Programming is a creative activity though. What are these? > Welcoming passengers, offloading baggage, refuelling large aircraft, pushing aircraft back for departure and a further array of exciting tasks await you. Exciting tasks.

      It's just the fulfiling part of the job, without any of the bullshit. It may not be "creative" or "exciting", but it's satisfying.

        Euro Truck Simulator was the game that this finally click for me. I think under all different game mechanics -- games like OpenTTD, Factorio, RimWorld, Dwarf Fortress, Farming Simulator, Euro Truck Simulator, Minecraft, Civilization etc -- all scratch the same itch of being able to set uour own goals and work towards them through an evolving but intuitive gameplay loop.

        I think I'll never understand. I see all that stuff as the bullshit I don't want to deal with and flying the plane as the actual exciting task.

        Some people just like working down task lists. Some people just like a peek behind the curtain of big operations (like an airport, farm, etc). Not every game is meant for everyone :)

I really like games like this. Can't explain why. You just kind of do little jobs and feel like you're accomplishing something. Farming Simulator is my favorite: there are lots of different tasks you can do, lots of ways you can go about doing them, etc. And I learned quite a bit about agriculture along the way. This game scratches the same itch, it's given me just a tiny understanding of how hard all the ground crews work to turn planes around at the airport. It does not have as much depth as FS and it's hard to play single player (you can't really parallel process anything) but with the right crew it would be fun co-op. I'm excited to watch this game continue to develop.
