Airline Director vs Pitloop

You take over a small airline. One week at a time, you turn it into a name that appears on departure boards. Lease your first jet or buy it outright. Fight for a slot pair at a major hub, or fly from an airport nobody has heard of. Open a route, set the fare, and find out on Sunday night whether you were right. WEEK BY WEEK Every turn is one week. Make your decisions, hit Advance Week, and read the report: who flew, what they paid, what it cost you, and how much you kept. Five minutes or fifty — the game waits. YOUR AIRLINE, YOUR CURRENCY An airline keeps its books where it is based. Start in Manchester and you report in pounds, in Amsterdam in euros, in Nairobi or Newark in dollars — down to the pence, cents and RASK on every route. EVERY NUMBER IS EXPLAINED No hidden dice. Every route shows its RASK, its CASK and the gap between them. If your load factor drops, the game tells you why: a rival added frequency, your punctuality slipped, or you priced yourself out. If you cannot explain a number, it is not doing its job. THE THREE THINGS YOU ARE ALWAYS SHORT OF Cash, because aircraft cost tens of millions and leases fall due whether anyone flew or not. Slots, because you need one at both ends and good airports have none to spare. Block hours, because every airframe has a ceiling and pushing past it breaks your punctuality, your maintenance and your crew. Every real decision in the game is a trade between those three. BUILD A FLEET Turboprops, narrowbodies, widebodies and ultra-long-range twins. Buy outright, finance it, or lease — each with a different shape of pain. Watch condition, book the heavy checks before they book themselves, and reconfigure the cabin when the market moves. RUN A NETWORK Sixty-plus airports and hundreds of city pairs. Set frequency, assign the aircraft, price three cabins by hand or hold a position against the market and let revenue management do it. Declare a base and watch two routes start feeding each other. THE OFFICE Hire a chief executive, a network planner, a head of engineering. Sign catering and ground handling contracts — cheap costs you something that is not money. Take on debt, raise equity, float the airline. Buy a rival if you can afford one. CLIMB THE LADDER Eight tiers, from Air Taxi to Global Network Carrier, each gated on rating, reputation, fleet, network and net worth. Around 150 rival carriers hold the ranks above and below you. At the end of every 52-week year, a graded season review from the board, the passengers and the crew. Open-ended. No win condition, no timers, no ads. Three save slots. Play it for an afternoon or for four in-game decades. Airline Director is a work of fiction. Airlines, aircraft and market conditions in the game are invented or simplified for play, and nothing in it is aviation, business or financial advice.

Your car never stops. Pitloop races while your phone is in your pocket. Pick a track and your car races on its own: a short race every three minutes, twenty an hour, whether the app is open or closed. Every finish pays prize money, so a faster car earns more while you're away. Close the app, go to work, come back to a stack of results. GRAND PRIX IN ONE TAP When you want to race yourself, start a Grand Prix. Lights out, two laps, thirty seconds. Then the full classification, scored off the lap each car actually set, and your winnings to claim. A Grand Prix pays the full purse, drops parts, and is the only thing that spends fuel. Nothing automatic touches your tank, so you always come back to a full one. KNOW YOUR ODDS Every track shows your win and podium chance before you race, so you always know what you are walking into. A new track starts hard and eases as the car improves. Seven cars line up on every grid, so a podium means the same thing on the first track and the tenth. RACE WHERE YOU LIKE Ten tracks, each with its own performance band: Kitchen Oval, Hallway Sprint, Garden Loop, Parking Deck, Attic Figure, Boardwalk, Rooftop Ring, Cellar Maze, Ballroom GP and the Club Grand Prix. Outgrow one and the next opens, but the old one stays open too, at 40% of its prizes. Moving up is your call, not the game's. BUILD THE CAR Three garage slots. Twenty-five cars across five tiers, from the Shed Special to the Apex One. Six parts on every car: engine, tires, suspension, brakes, aero and gearbox. No part can climb more than three levels above your weakest, so a quick car is built all-around. TRAIN THE DRIVER Three skills, a hundred levels each. Driving makes the car quicker. Insight reads the race, with a chance to double the prize money and better parts turning up sooner. Logistics grows your cash and stretches the offline window. Every race fills an XP pool; you choose which skill drinks from it. MAKE IT YOURS Eight liveries, six trails and eight plate colors, all visible on track. EVERY DAY The day's cash is three rungs to climb: the first free, the two above it paid for with an ad if you want them. Plus a seven-day bonus and three daily challenges. Ads are always your choice, nothing in the game is locked behind one, and there are no banners and no interstitials. CLUB PASS An optional one-time purchase. It doubles the prize money, XP and scrap your car earns on its own, doubles how fast the tank refills, opens the offline window from 8 hours to a full day, and adds Gems to the daily gift. It never raises a car, never raises a skill, and never decides a race. PLAYS OFFLINE No connection needed to race. Your garage syncs to your own private iCloud, so a new phone picks up exactly where the old one stopped.
