Air Traffic Control Simulator

A highly technical air traffic control simulation game focusing on realistic aircraft behavior, navigation, and air traffic management.

Features

• Real-world physics-based aircraft movement
• Complex navigation system using waypoints and flight paths
• Realistic weather conditions affecting flight patterns
• Multiple aircraft types with different performance characteristics
• Emergency scenario handling
• Separation rules enforcement
• Communication system between ATC and aircraft
