I'm a VFR controller considering a move to my local ACC. I'm trying to get my hands on a realistic IFR simulator for learning purposes.
I have tried a program called "ATCC" from
www.xavius.com. From what I understand about IFR controlling, this program seems to do a good job. It was written by US enroute controllers. As this program is now 8 years old and incompatible with Windows XP, I am considering the purchase of "London Control" from
www.londoncontrol.com. There is another program called "ATC Simulator" but I have my doubts about it's realism.
I have read many reviews of these programs, but the reviews are not written by actual controllers. I could ask my mother to write reviews of these, and she'd probably say they are all dead real.
Any thoughts?
