Global ATC Simulator

Glad I bought this on sale at 90% off, lots of things in the game are broken. A plane lines up on the runway at YSSY Sydney, it is going to Kevin, but there is no route to Kevin in the SID list, so you have to use the "show all" button, which fills your screen with every single route (Even those ones not listed) and you have to find waypoint Kevin in amongst all this mess. So you clear the plane direct to Kevin. The next plane also wants another waypoint not listed, and the cycle goes on and on. So many missing routes!! All planes will follow the routes that are there, but they will not descend or climb with the published altitudes on the charts, so what exactly is the FMC (Flight Computer in the plane) doing? So it is down to you to do this, and at some places like KLAX Los Angeles, there are too many for you to keep on top of, not that you will get penalised for anything as there is no penalty system anyway. You clear an aircraft to land at EGLC London City, and this is confirmed on the strip with "cleared to land" written there. but then the plane reports it is going around as it has not been cleared to land, even though it clearly says it has landing clearance. This happened to 4 planes in a row, so combined with the other errors/problems I had yesterday at LGSS Geneva, with SID's listed but not shown on the scope. I have given up on this game. Shame I have gone over the 2 hour refund time limit, as I would have refunded this dated game. It's not like I am new to ATC games either. Been using various ATC programs for many many years. This is the first one that looked promising but failed to deliver. I can see why it has "mixed" reviews. I seriously advise anyone to avoid this outdated mess.

This is a great ATC simulator in the since of it’s user friendly interface and is so easy to set up. You can just enjoy the simulator as is. But unlike ATC2 and ATCpro, it does not have voice control. This would be the best ATC simulator if it were only equipped with VC. So you get pretty bored after a few hours because you are continually typing commands, rather than just saying it. So for the price of this Simulator (which is ridicules) I would not recommend buying it. Rather save up and go buy ATCpro or ATC2 which is more advanced and provides what EVERYONE wants, voice recognition.

you have to be a little OCD to enjoy this, but is playable if you like Air traffic control simulations.

This game is great for both those who love aviation both for those who do not like. It's addictive even not counting with excellent graphics, are reasonable, even account only the radar screen and control the aircraft. It is not easy, especially if control a large airport and mainly control the largest aircraft in the world in terms of passengers, the A380, as it needs a much larger room for the turn and so on. Recommend yes this game.

COSTS WAY TO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!

This game was a good start, but it needed more work, and it's pretty much abandoned. I got it at 80% off ($5 US), and it was just barely worth it.

I love a good aviation similator (to include ATC) and this simulator does well at simulating real world situation and probably would make a good training tool, as I Aerosoft typically makes applications for. So first off, the blemishes... With every Aerosoft package I've used they AI is barely functional, they just can't seem to get a programmer on staff with any kind of appreciable skill at providing intelligence to air traffic or the environment. So what do I mean by that? Well in this simulator, an aircraft pilot should refuse some ATC requests based upon weather conditions. When I had visibilty down to under a mile and clearly ILS landing conditions, I was able to get planes to accept visual approaches while well outside of visual capabilities (10 miles and FL130+). Any intelligent pilot would have radio'd back "unable". Altitudes and speed restictions over certain navigation aids were not enforced and I didn't appear to get "dinged" for not meeting the required conditions at the navaid. The only "realistic" feature I did find is if had aircraft landing "with" the wind they would abort a landing and would radio back to me they were unable to land due to a lack of runway due to tailwind conditions. I suspect that Aerosoft is expecting a trainer to be monitoring a student who will apply a "thwack" to the back of the student's head when mistakes are made. The tutorial states that multiple commands can be given at once via the command line but I have yet to be able enter more than a single command a time, even using the example they provide. On the positive side, the simulator runs quite realistically (for a single controller situation) and it's nice to have a realistic map on the scope. The "Rush Hour" can prove to be very challenging and I find it my favorite of all the scenarios. Customization is excellent, typical for Aerosoft here as well. ATC is an EXTREMELY boring yet highly stressful occupation. If you're looking for a "game" then this probably isn't for you but if you like traffic control, time managment, or just aviation in general and can "self-police" then this is a pretty decent simulator. And for that I'll give it a thumbs up.

hard to follow and not very exciting.

I would suggest buying this if you are into ATC or Planes. Takes a bit of imagination and it can be fun. Its not the most realistic ATC sim out there, its a bit on the casual side. However it does what it says on the tin. Hence the thumbs up.
