AirportSim’s 3 Game Modes Let You Live Life as an Airport Ground Crew Member
Sure, Microsoft Flight Simulator did a great job of simulating life in the cockpit of a myriad of real-world planes at 30,000 feet up. But what about the other half of that equation? AirportSim, an Xbox Series X|S console exclusive due out next year (it’s also coming to PC at the same time), aims to show you what life is like for the ground crew who are so essential to any and all air travel.
The new trailer for AirportSim, which you can watch at the top of this page (with screenshots to click through below), shows off the three main game modes: Free Roam, Scenario, and Challenge. Each showcases life as a vital ground crew member at one of many real-life airports. You’ll drive the baggage cart, refuel the plane in freezing temperatures, and much more.
AirportSim features dynamic real-time and real-world weather, real aircraft like the Boeing 737 MAX and Airbus A320 NEO, online and local co-op, and more.

The champ appeared to slap Jacob Harding’s hand as he left the pitch after his side were beaten by Everton.
He later apologised to the 14-year-old, who has autism.
Earlier this month, the Portuguese star was interviewed by police under caution in relation to an alleged assault and criminal damage.
Merseyside Police later confirmed: “The matter has been dealt with by way of conditional caution. The matter has now concluded.”

But Sarah says she feels cheated – and claims Ronaldo has not even offered to replace the smashed phone, the Mirror reports.
She was allegedly contacted by the player by telephone in the days after the incident but claims she was left “shaking and crying” because of his attitude.
Ronaldo allegedly told her he hadn’t “kicked or punched anybody” during the chat.
“I was raging and my heart was pumping,” she said.

Both Sarah and Everton fan Jacob have also been targeted by trolls.
“It was disgusting. My boy has a heart of gold,” she said.
“I’m scared to leave the house, always looking over my shoulder.”
Sarah says she now plans to take legal action.
“I want to see justice because there hasn’t been any,” she said.
Jacob told the paper: “I looked up to him but he didn’t set an example that day.”
It is understood that Ronaldo has agreed to compensate the Jacob and his mum.
Man Utd bosses confirmed they won’t be taking action back in April.
ACE’S APOLOGY
Chiefs are believed to be happy with the ace’s apology.
In a post online, Ronaldo said: “It’s never easy to deal with emotions in difficult moments such as the one we are facing.
“Nevertheless, we always have to be respectful, patient and set the example for all the youngsters who love the beautiful game.
“I would like to apologise for my outburst and, if possible, I would like to invite this supporter to watch a game at Old Trafford as a sign of fair-play and sportsmanship.”

In House Of The Dragon, The Targaryens Have Peaked And Are About To Crash To The Ground
When Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon debuts on HBO Max on August 21, viewers will be reintroduced to the Targaryen family. However, this will be a far-different group of Targaryen’s than the two (technically three) members we saw in Game of Thrones.
Game of Thrones fans know Daenerys and Rhaegar Targaryen (we’re leaving out the third member for this discussion), when the family was at their lowest point. “The Mad King” Aerys had been killed by Jaime Lannister, and the Targaryens were hunted down with Rhaegar and Elia being murdered, along with their children Rhaenry and Aegon. So what are the Targaryens like in House of the Dragon?
“They’re at the pinnacle of their power,” Graham McTavish, who plays Ser Harrold Westerling, told GameSpot. “We haven’t seen the Targaryens like this before.” This is much more about the Targaryen family life, ruling from the Iron Throne in King’s Landing.
