ATC games?
 

Hello all, I'm a newbie here, but in the flying game for over 20 yrs now. I've taken an interest in the ATC side (still keeping my seat tho)

Can anyone suggest some good ATC type games?

Happy Flying!

Frequentis "Smart Strips" is a good one. :E

Doesn't take too long to learn the rules, either.:E

London Control and Atcwindows

Boot polish on the tower binoculars eyepieces is a good game.

For fun games check out Here

For a fairly realistic radar simulator check out Here

As is duplicating ink on telephone earpieces, as I discovered to my cost during my time at Malta Control!! Took about 3 days to get it off.

As for 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....

London Control vs Radar Chaos
 

Thanks for the suggestions.

I've heard of London Control before but not Radar Chaos. Radar Chaos is about a 1/4 the price of the London Control, and it looks newer??? Do you know anything about the other games on bigfat simulations? They have a whack of them.

Seems like a few vectoring games, any control tower games?

There's airport madness, but from a tower control perspective, it's pretty crappy fun. The radar version is a little more realistic. Both pretty basic.

Airport Madness
 

Yeah i played airport madness on my iPhone. It was fun but maybe not what I'd like to see flying into an airport :)

Hey, does anyone know if Flightsim will EVER make another game? I've tried x-plane but still like Microsofts version.

London Control is the only hope of getting close to realism - for UK airspace anyway.

Another option is places like IVAO United Kingdom or http://vatsim-uk.org

Try doing a search on TRACON. It was made by Wesson in the mid 90's and is quite a good ATC simulator. I spent quite a lot of time playing this game.They also made a tower version.
There is also a game called ATC air traffic control for ipad which is quite good also, I use this one now for a little fun.

Realistic ATC sim
 

Yes I remember that old TRACON game also, which I believe goes as far back as the late 80's in fact. I believe it was made by Thalion.

I've played London Control which seems OK. The only thing I liked on the iPhone or iPad was Airport Madness. Flight Control and ATC both seemed too toyish with dragging everywhere.

I'm still looking for a good Vectoring game and a good tower game, if they exist. Also, I did another search for news about a new FlightSim but not much luck there either!

Hehe, PlasticPilot. Where did you study programming?

Check your inbox ;)

ATC game
 

Thanks Shadowrun,

Nice few games on there.

I've played the london control, which is fun.
The Big Fat Simulations site has a bunch of different games... the Radar Chaos seems like the newest and most realistic. I'll try the free demo and then consider buying. Not bad price either.

I checked out the Tower Simulator... seems kinda expensive for what you get.

Hey Plastic Pilot... nice job!!! I'll download your iPhone game for sure. Have you made others also?

ATC game for iPhone
 

Hey Plastic Pilot,

Nice job with the iPhone game. You design with x-code yourself? I've got the lite version but will buy the other one too :)

Do you have one for the iPad also?

Play Radar Air Traffic Controller, a free online game on Kongregate


A decent little web based game.
