### 4/5 — Possibility for console control? 1/2025

*2025-01-04*

What’s the possibility of tying the touch controls to the console controller, making it more “gamey” with an add on?
Still playing all maps in 2025 and can’t get enough.

### 2/5 — Critical issue

*2019-12-19*

This could be a good game. A critical problem is that the ‘HDG -‘ button is overlapped over the map. So when an airplane comes to the right bottom corner, one cannot control other planes using HDG—. This must be fixed.

### 1/5 — Bad programming

*2018-11-11*

Taking off planes will crash into incoming planes at the edge in the map. There is nothing you can do about it. Get annoying and I deleted the game because of it.

### 4/5 — Suggestions

*2017-09-08, version 1.5.1*

A few suggestions
-the buttons overlap the scope in the corners which means you can't issue orders without tapping on another plane, which is a big problem. You could shrink the button size or reposition them.
-inbounds and outbounds should be color coded so that you don't accidentally lose track of some
-airspeed should only be 3 increments (250,200,150) to save time selecting, and also to comply with the 250 under 10,000 rule
Otherwise, good game. I'm currently stuck on 50 planes

### 1/5 — ATC OPERATIONS-

*2016-05-25, version 1.5.1*

TOO FAST. NO SPEED CONTROL OF THE GAME.

### 2/5 — Is a game, just as they said.

*2015-09-06, version 1.0*

Is just an unrealistic game. Nothing remotely realistic about it.
