Yeah, got a couple of great ATC board games from the 1970's, Airways and Air Traffic Control. Absolutely great fun to play when you have the lads around for a few beers. Welcome to ATC in the 1970's, 'Roger, wilco, over and out"

Whatmean,
I did a search but couldn't find anything about old ATC "board games" that you mentioned. Did they look like monopoly or scrabble? That sort of board game?
Got any pictures?

Thanks 3.5 
This is a universal binary, the same will run on iPhone and on iPad, supporting the full iPad resolution. See screenshots on APP Control – Air Traffic Control Game
And yes, I made it all by myself with XCode (and a serious development background).

More like monopoly I would say. I bought them on e-bay a few years ago, try ebay.co.uk and search air traffic control under games, it might give you ones for sale. They are dreadfully bad to say the least. When one of the positions on the board says 'we are cruising at 20,000ft' on a transatlantic flight you kind of have to wonder what type of aircraft we are talking about.

VerdeBlanco,
Yeah that's a neat game too. I think that one is free somewhere??? But it's just a vectoring game close in, unlike the others that have multiple airports and more airspace, like a terminal environment!

the best by far is Visual Vectoring....it is an actual ATC training tool in use by several countries througout the world, and last I heard they were going to release an actual simulator of Hong Kong approach and a few other busy airports...

<< or PC type games, I've never seen one yet which bears any relation to reality simply because there aren't the requisite number of loonies sitting alongside.... >>
HD, you WERE talking about ATC management at our former carehome, weren't you?

Willoz269,
I looked at the visual vectoring site, and although it looked very interesting, there wasn't anything to play with or test with. Not even an aptitude thing. Are the rest of us missing something?

ATC Simulator?
Does anyone know if there are actually simulators for ATCO's like we have? I remember hearing years ago that they had old radar sims much like the old link or procedures trainers that got replaced around the time I started flying.
Any ATC out there to comment?

Voice activated ATC game
I just got this emailed to me.
Apparently there is a voice activated ATC simulator game. It's a bit pricy but sounds very interesting:
ATC Suite by feelThere
Still, better value is the Radar Chaos. Both are top-down view and both look to be exciting, just different from each other.
I wonder about the voice recognition that is used. Future commercial application? Thoughts?

3.5 stripes I posted TOWER 2011 in previous page. I said it will be released in next months though ^^
If you are looking for 'realistic' radars, why don't you like other links I posted? Web-based simulator is free and you don't have to install anything in your PC.

list of ATC games
Shadowrun,
I did acknowledge the games you mentioned. Two I had already seen and my apologies, I didn't see the note about the 2011 release soon. Please let me know when it's out there.
In actuality, there are plenty of good games - all have there benefits... and drawbacks. What I stated was just my shock at some prices though, but I guess you get what you pay for.
Here's the list so far of what's available, in no particular order:
Aviation Games
London Control
Radar ChaosWelcome to the ATCsimulator®2 Website
Tower SimulatorATC-SIM: a web-based air traffic control simulator
APP Control – Air Traffic Control Game
I hope I didn't miss any. Anyone have more to add?

top gun kinda score in ATC
Hey VerdeBlanco,
Yes that is a fun game. What is your top score? I made it through the 2nd level but can't finish the 3rd. Too much "tin" to "push" for me.

Radar Chaos
I just received an update from the Radar Chaos game I bought. They tweeked a few flight parameters and other stuff, but basically I've played every level now (but not at the most challenging levels) and it's probably one of the better ATC games I've played recently.
Air Traffic Control Game - Radar Chaos
As far as a flight simulator I'm still most impressed with X-Plane!
X-Plane
Still waiting for the next Microsoft game: Flight.... waiting... waiting... waiting...

Hi guys,
Just routing through my wardrobes and having a clear out. Found a copy of Air Traffic Control Boardgame by airfix from the 70s complete with 'win a British airways flight leaflet.
If anyone is interested in it then PM me. It's in pretty good nick.
Cheers,
MB
