Leave a Review ATC Operations
Okay... Now let’s push some realism.
This game has zapped a lot of my time... Great for boredom, and allows me to experience some of my passion for aviation and ATC from mobile. Clean interface, fast speeds on a fairly slow device, and doesn’t use a whole lot of battery. Only complaints I have have to do with realism. Obviously, we can’t replicate realism completely, but it can be significantly increased. Some specific points:
1. Altitude Restraints - Close Calls occur much too often due to a lack of ability regarding vertical separation. Realistically, controllers have the ability to stop/continue climbs/descents to the final altitude in order to comply with vertical separation standards. This would be ideally implemented using a similar system as is used for speed and heading; allow users to control altitude with more than just two options.
2. Weather Videomaps - Weather doesn’t appear on real STARs scopes; at least not in the format of big white clouds that simply cause lack of visibility for the controller. (All airports running configurations where the approach paths are obscured by clouds.) Remove these, or just show them when weather radar requested. Simply put, they’re distracting and have no effect other than unnecessarily increasing the difficulty of the game, even when already handling 10-ish aircraft at once, at all of N90’s major airports.
3. Entry/Exit Gates - Entry and exit gates of N90 are often not used for both arrivals and departures at once, the reason for this being that the aircraft can not be sequenced properly. There have been many instances in this game in which an aircraft will be at altitude and cleared to their exit gate, when another aircraft shows up at the same altitude. This causes an instant close call, and in some cases, collision. It is simply unreasonable to think that the aircraft could be issued their descent and descend that fast to avoid a conflict.
I’m sure there are other points that other, more experienced users could make. I hope to see some of these features implemented shortly.Show less825orion
Augmented Reality
This Game will be extremely amazing if it had AR capabilityGoPilot.us
Frustrating
Some options would be nice.
Also... the fast-forward button is positioned in the worst possible place (too easy to hit it and ruin a game ). Takes too long to slow an arrival down (have to repeatedly hit the button) ,assign a heading and command a descend.Hshdja

This game is a very interesting and exiting game awesomeYuan.745
Too fast
EVEN TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS CAN NOT PASS IT.JEGONG1
Fun but..........
This game can be a lot of fun until you get to level 8 planes arrive way to fast to coordinate separation from other aircraft as well as organizing departing traffic.Flymikel
One of the best ATC games out there
This game is really good and gives the gamer a basic overview of Air Traffic Control. I would recommend this to those who want to know what air traffic controlling is and how it is done.
Suggestion: Pilots acknowledging their instructions and maybe add in Teterboro Airport and Mac Arthur/Islip Airport for more of a challenge.
Suggestion on region: Dallas area with DFW, Love Field and Alliance Airports. Washington Area with Dulles Airport, Reagan National, BWI and Martin State Airport. Philadelphia area with PHL, Trenton-Mercer and New Castle (DE). Chicago area with O'hare, Midway and Rockford. Central New Jersey with Monmouth Executive, McGuire AFB, and Lakehurst NAS.Show lessyankeefan1187
Is just what they said, a game.
Is just an unrealistic game. Nothing remotely realistic about it.Eriptron
fun game
It's a fun game, unique from the other ATC games out there. You give instructions to each plane and can control their headings as you try to keep them from going off the radar or into each other or stormy weather. A tutorial level would be helpful, but the first level will teach you the basics by trial and error.
The 3D mode is more for enjoying your good work once you've got the planes going where you want. Radar mode is probably where you'll stick to for most of the game, but the smooth transition between the 2d and 3d is rather slick, with the planes even showing running lights blinking in flight.
Suggestions:
Adding pilot voices acknowledging your orders over the radio and an endless flights mode with dynamic weather would be a nice touch! Rather than have each city region sold separately at full price, perhaps consider bundling a few for a discount?Show lessEver_helpful
