This game is a simulation of the largest permanent construction site of our time (we assume that and did not research it for security reasons). For 14 years a new airport is being built in Berlin, which should have been opened already in 2012. Until today the opening has been postponed again and again. Why? Find out for yourself with this awesome and ultrarealistic game made by the biggest satire website in Germany "The Postillon"!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Flatout ATC at 4.3 against BER Bausimulator's 3.0. Flatout ATC also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (41 vs 1). BER Bausimulator's advantage is review sentiment (96% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 26.1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BER Bausimulator sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Flatout ATC sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Flatout ATC holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flatout ATC has 41 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 96% of BER Bausimulator's written reviews are positive against 67% of Flatout ATC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BER Bausimulator ships an update fortnightly, Flatout ATC every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
