Tower! Simulator 3: KIAH Airport

The KIAH Airport DLC for Tower! Simulator 3 was developed and published by FeelThere, and it was released on 18 April 2024. The add‑on is distributed for the PC version of the game, and no alternative console or platform ports are indicated.

This expansion simulates George Bush Intercontinental Airport (ICAO: KIAH / IATA: IAH), the major international airport serving Houston and the surrounding area. In the simulation, the airport includes five runways, five terminals, and a total of 131 gates — 101 with jet bridges and 30 hard‑stands — reflecting the real airport’s structure and gate distribution. The layout aims to replicate real‑world operations, allowing players to manage arrivals and departures, runway and taxiway assignments, apron and gate traffic, and handle a mix of domestic, international, and cargo flights.

In promotion, the KIAH DLC was presented as one of the most connected airports in the United States: a busy international gateway covering five continents, with a high volume of traffic and a large, intricate airport structure. Marketing emphasised its status as the busiest Texas airport for international passenger traffic and one of the busiest nationwide, making it a robust setting for players seeking a full‑scale air‑traffic control challenge in a large U.S. hub. The features such as multiple runways, extensive terminals, and a large gate network were highlighted to appeal to simulation fans wanting realism and complexity.

At launch, community feedback for KIAH was minimal — the store listing showed no user reviews at the time. As a result, there is no clear consensus on how well the DLC performs or how satisfying it is for players. Given the lack of early reviews, its long-term reception remains uncertain. Nonetheless, for players interested in managing a large, busy, realistically structured American international airport — with complex runway operations, heavy traffic, and gate‑management demands — KIAH stands out as a strong and ambitious addition to Tower! Simulator 3’s roster.
