The most frustrating game
I want to like this game but it's literally doing my head in, mainly lining up EVERYTHING. You can't see for toffee when you're inside the cab, the catering truck in this case (where the flashing green button is) so you switch to the next view and line it up seemingly perfectly, back to the cab but no. Shuffle it around a few times whilst in the cab and no light, switch back and forth and so on and so on. It's the same with the stairs, no matter how I move them around I can't line them up. Why does't it have to be this difficult and why can't there be something to guide you whilst in the actual drivers seat.

I also couldn't even get through the first scenario, starting off in a pitch black airport, trying to find a plane with a rubbish map that doesn't move and no indication anywhere as to where it is.

Sorry, a rant, I'm done with the game for now, way too frustrating at the moment.

I feel you. I just asked a refund. I'm so fed up with dozens of bugs and annoying things. No controller binding, It's too dark in night, flashlight is unusable, airport is like ghost town...

+1 on this! I spent 20 minutes on aligning the damn catering truck, and I'm still not sure what I eventually managed to align it with, but I got that flashing green light. I read in another post that the developers replied that it's easy, but then they have insights I don't have, and they need to convey that to us players by some kind of visual guidance system.

I think the game has potential, but will not spend time on it until this is fixed!

It's extremely frustrating to play and as per the op, I want to like it but it's proving difficult to love as it is. The tutorials tell you to the basics and when you actually carry out a scenario it turns out you have to press enter or B button on your xbox controller ! I just spent 30 minutes trying to get a plane that had landed to follow me to stand 7 , no gps route showing , the plane did follow me for a bit but at a certain point near the terminal the plane wouldn't move if I turned left to try and get around the back of the terminal to where the stand is.
I quit the game and came here for a bit of a moan. Can't refund it as I've gone over the 2 hours.

When you're having trouble lining up the catering truck, stairs, jetway, etc. make sure it is the active task. I'm just assuming this could be the issue there.

If you want to e.g. connect the catering truck it has to be shown as the active task in the top left corner. If a different or no task is active, connecting the catering truck will never work. Select tasks in tablet or do the tasks step by step.

If the correct task is active you will be able to connect your vehicle at first try 9/10 times.

Make sure the plane you want to turn around is the active task otherwise it won't show a path to the plane. The map does move and it tells you how to move the move in the upper right hand corner. However if you are using a controller, I have no idea how that works.
