Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
From Abacus. More and more commuters are taking a long hard look at Air Taxi services. As the Air Taxi Pilot you have at your disposal several planes, including the Cessna Mustang, Safire Jet and Cirrus. Includes a set of adventures that will have you shuttling passengers to and from many busy airports.
Product Description
In Air Taxi you'll operate up to eight different air taxi companies with each firm owning between two and three aircraft. Air Taxi offers you the management of accepting reservations and even piloting the air taxi too. You'll also get to choose the quantity of passengers and to which of twenty regional airports you'll fly to. When you've configured all of this you get to set your ticket prices. Too high and you'll lose your customers. Too low and you'll make no profit. Air Taxi includes five new planes which are the: Cessna Citation Mustang Safire Jet Cirrus SR-22 Maverick Leader Jet Diamond DA-42 Twin Star As if that wasn't enough, each aircraft will have a custom Primary Flight Display which represents the next generation of aviation equipment. The PFD is a single CRT screen which replaces the many analogue gauges used in older aircraft. It's all too much!

This product is so much different to the usual modern airliner stuff with auto flight systems you get for flight simulator which I think is now getting a bit boring - real pilots don't need an FMC! First of all there's a bunch of good looking planes that you'll not find anywhere else and they all come with very usable cockpits although without any complicated "frills" but they do have a great new generation primary flight display and since it is in every one, the learning curve is the same for all 5 planes. You get to run your own air taxi company and there's a small programme that lets you choose your company and keeps track of your progress. Your customers come to you and you have to make them an offer for the fare based on your running costs and how much profit you want to make - don't get it wrong though - the customers don't want to pay too much! After you've settled, press the button and FS is started automatically with the chosen plane at the appropriate airport so no messing around here! The only thing I thought could be improved is the virtual cockpits which I found a little hard to read but I prefer 2-D cockpits anyway - All round a great product and an interesting idea - at last there's a reason to fly. After a while it may get to be routine but you'll still have many hours of fun so the product is well worth the money for the entertainment value
