ATC SIMULATOR PRO Take command of an airport control tower. ATC Simulator Pro is an air traffic control game with two game modes, real airline traffic, and full voice command support. Play it as a quick arcade game or a full aviation simulation. ARCADE MODE A fast, score-based control tower game built for quick sessions. Draw a flight path by hand or use the touch command menu to land arriving aircraft and launch departures. Every clean landing or departure scores points, and air traffic ramps up the longer you last. REALISM MODE A deeper aviation simulation with real separation rules, altitude assignments, weather radar, wind-favored runways, and timed descents. Aircraft climb and descend at real rates. VOICE COMMANDS Speak your instructions like a real air traffic controller. Push to talk, say the callsign and instruction out loud, for example, "United 328, descend and maintain 6000, turn heading 270," and the pilot complies. FULL COMMAND MENU Prefer touch controls over voice? Every spoken command has a menu button: direct to waypoint, direct runway, hold, resume route, change runway, exit airspace, speed, altitude, and heading. REAL AIRLINE TRAFFIC Manage a realistic mix of heavy jets, regional airliners, turboprops, business jets, and general aviation aircraft, each flying with real airline callsigns and real performance characteristics. Handle medevac flights and in-flight emergencies as they come in. RADAR SCREEN A radar-style airspace view with live heading, speed, and altitude readouts, separation and collision warnings, and a full in-app reference for callsigns and controller phraseology.
