ATC Tower Simulator
ATC Gurus,
I would like to ask for help/information/opinion from all of you who have experiance with ATC Tower Simulator. Not PC games :}but reall one for ATC Training.
We are relatively small ANSP which started to investigate possibilty of buying an ATC Tower Simulator. We will start soon drafting our requiremets for it and as you might guess I got the role in this team.
Because of not having a lot of experiance in this as well as with fighting agains the tricks of industry suppliers (producers) not to pay too much and get too little :bored:, I would appritiate your views about this topic.
1. It would be used for unit training (emergency, refresher, pre-OJT) of 30 TWR ATCOs from three airports. To imrove quality of our service and avoid costs from sending ATCOs to training centres every year (around 4000Euros per person).
2. We have enough Instructors but no facility, so we have to pay somebody else every year.
3. Size/scale of simulator that we think would be suficient for us, is:
- 3D view, 220 degrees, 1 twr position , 1 gnd position, 2 pseudo pilots positions, 1 exercise manager/editor position. Display does not have to be projection on the wall , it can be combination of few large (2kx2k) screens.
- posibility to store 3 airports in the dataset/database and swich between them to satisfy need for ATCOs from three different airports.
- possibility to simulate weather conditions
- possibility to edit and print flight progress strips
- our traffic level (ac/hour or at a given moment) is not hight
Q1- Your experiance as a user of similar configuration is it useful or not?
Q2 - Your experiance in ordering/contract, support from producers, did you get what you expected?
Q3 - To your knowledge how much does it cost similar configuration?
Thanks a lot in advance for your feed back.

Thanks a lot to everyone who PM me until now.
All your comments and info you passed to me looks very useful.
I'll come back to you in a few days. I am very busy at the moment
.
Would like to ask again simple 'technical' question from the TWR SIM users:
- Does your TWR SIM normaly has more airports (2, 3) in its database/dataset so that you can swith between those airports by yourself or it is mainly one?

Hi,
This is easily possible with new tower sims these days. The one I'm familiar with will eventually have 11 visual databases delivered by the manufacturer, as well as the ability for the user to develop their own.

You could just talk to Airways (NZ).
They would be happy to set one of these up for you.
