I've never seen one that is truly realistic - and that includes the professional ones controllers train on! I user to play with Tracon (probably long obsolete) and crashed nearly everything. A chum of mine who was a pilot was very good at it!
Lots of people play with Vatsim, but it's far from realistic.

Welcome to the ATCsimulatorŽ2 Website
London Control Home
Tower Simulator - Index
IVAO - International Virtual Aviation Organisation with its motto "as real as it gets", probably more "professional" than Vatsim from my point of view.

I'd say London Control is the best ATC simulation you can get, SSS the best freeware.
If you want to talk to real people, VATSIM and IVAO should be your choice, which of the two depends on personal taste really.
Both are pretty professional, IVAO seems to have more attendance in Europe (especially the south of it), while VATSIM attracts more participants in the US and some parts of Europe like the UK or Germany.

I'd go for VATsim as it is more realistic, IVAO is directed at the younger user IMO. They give you a medal just for joining like!
Both have their pro's and con's but when I had the decision VATsim was the only choice for me.
