| ALL THE FEATURES OF THE STANDARD
EDITION, PLUS THE ADDED FEATURES OF ATC-SDK (SECTOR DESIGN
KIT)!! ATCsimulator2 is the
premier Air Traffic Control simulation on the market for the PC. ATCsimulator
has been at the forefront of ATC simulation since Feb/2001, and is still going
strong. ATCsimulator2 allows you to immerse yourself in the mysterious world of
air traffic control. This is as close to the REAL THING! as you can get. Don't
be fooled by cheap imitations or cheesy mockups! This is a SERIOUS SIMULATION!
But, it can also be FUN!
ATCsimulator2 provides you with the most comprehensive set
of programs to help boost your air traffic career, or satisfy your thirst for
experiencing the REAL THING! From incorporated speech recognition, to custom
airspace creation, ATCsimulator2 has it all! And it can only be purchased
here! GAME
OBJECTIVE ATCsimulator2 allows
you to take on the role as Approach or Departure controller at your choice of
over 120 Terminal Radar Approach Control facilities of the United States
National Airspace System (NAS), or TRACONs as they are more commonly called.
Your goal is to allow for the "safe and expeditious" flow of air traffic. It is
your job to assist the pilots arriving at airports inside your airspace
boundaries by lining them up for an approach (preparing for a landing). It is
also your job to assist pilots departing your airspace by handing them over to
the Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) controller at the appropriate time
or fix location. EQUIPMENT ATCsimulator2 was modeled after the ARTS-IIIa radar
equipment used at the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center(MMAC) inOklahoma City, Radar Training Facility. All of
the dials and switches are simulated with photorealistic quality, and perform
all of the functions of their real-life counterpart. Whenever possible, the
keyboard functions of the ARTS-IIIa terminal are accessed in the same manner as
in real life. CONTROLLING
TRAFFIC ATCsimulator2
provides many methods to allow the "safe and expeditious" flow of air traffic.
There are rules governing separation laterally and vertically. You can issue
climb and descents, turns, speed changes, holding instructions, visual and
instrument approach clearances. You have every command you need to accomplish
your task, but HOW you use those commands is entirely up to you. It's not what
you know, it's how well you USE what you know. LIVE TRAFFIC with
FLIGHT EXPLORER Once of the
most unique features with ATCsimulator2 is the ability to control LIVE
TRAFFIC!! That's right, using Flight Explorer in conjunction with
ATCsimulator2, you will truely experience what its like to work at some of the
busiest approach control facilities in the world. This feature alone sets
ATCsimulator2 apart from any other air traffic simulation. By running Flight
Explorer in the background, and then starting ATCsimulator2, you can choose to
have the LIVE TRAFFIC!! fed straight to the simulator, providing you with the
most realistic, heart-pounding experience!

and any special offer for ATCsimulator2 customers. MULTIPLAYER with
Microsoft Flight Simulator One of the most
popular and successful software titles in the world is Microsoft Flight
Simulator. Second to flight simulation, is air traffic control. With
ATCsimulator2, you can host a session and invite your Flight Simulator pilot
friends to join you. You control the action!, you control the fun!. No waiting
in line to be the "active" controller, nor is there any battery of "tests" you
have to complete before you can enjoy controlling traffic. Its true realtime air
traffic control on your own terms! Our freeware utility FS2ATCS can be
distributed to any Flight Simulator pilot interested in a truly engaging session
with a REAL controller. FS2ATCS is compatible with any version of Flight
Simulator, FS98 through FS2004. CAREER
ADVANCEMENT One of your primary
goals is to achieve a higher pay based on your job performance. In the real
world, controllers are expected to do a good job. Failing to do that can
sometimes result in deadly consequences. That's why air traffic control is one
of the most stressful occupations in the world, and highly respected. So, the
scoring mechanism is such that you begin with 100 points. Your goal is to
maintain that and not lose points. Points are deducted from 100% for separation
errors, procedural and others. If you can maintain an overall career average of
70% or better, you will attain pay raises. If you fall below that, you will be
demoted. A complete report is given at the end of each scenario telling you how
well you performed, any mistakes you made, and what reference material to review
to help improve your controlling abilities. This material also includes
references from the FAA Air Traffic Bible, the 7110.65x. TRAFFIC
GENERATION ATCsimulator2 will
now allow you to generate traffic on the fly by letting you set the level of
arrivals and/or departures that you wish to challenge yourself. Or, you can
still select from over 100,000 stored flights that were captured from real world
FAA air traffic computer networks. STRIP
PRINTING Another feature of
ATCsimulator2 is the ability to print flight strips while running a scenario.
Whether it be a randomly generated scenario, or one of the stored scenarios
captured from live FAA flight data, strip printing requires a simple checkbox
selection. These strips are printed on your Windows compatible printer and print
10 to a page. The strips will only correspond with the active traffic in the
scenario. AIRPORT
FILTERING To add variety to the
simulator, or to more closely emulate real world facilities, you can filter the
airports at your TRACON to your liking. This will allow you to simulate exact
controller positions as compared to the real world. Plus, this reduces the
traffic load at each TRACON, making for much more manageable levels when going
at it alone at Level 5 facilities. In addition to opening and closing airports,
you can also open and close runways, and assign them for arrival, departure or
both. PILOT
VOICES During game play, you
can choose either a synthetic pilot voice, or Real prerecorded concatenated
Text-To-Speech voices. Using Microsoft's TTS technology, you can use the voices
that come with the program, and you can also add your own voice using the tools
of the Speech SDK mentioned in the next section. There is room for up to 100
voices that can be used with the program. Invite friends and family to join in
on the fun and add their voice to the game! RECORDING and
PLAYBACK ATCsimulator2 now
comes with a recording feature, and a player. This makes ATCsimulator2 perfect
for research and academic applications. A scenario can be recorded and then
played back for analysis. The scenario player will allow playback in accelerated
mode, as well as in reverse. TWO MODES OF
OPERATION In addition
to the standard ARTS simulation, you can also elect to control traffic using the
latest direction in air traffic control, STARS mode, which is an acronym for
Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System. This system is being used
across the country to replace existing ARTS equipment as it fails. It is a
computer driven system resembling that of a PC and utilizes the full screen
display. ATCsimulator2 will provide this display system as an alternative to
the standard ARTS-IIIa console. MAP
PRINTING To assist
the controller, using our utility program, Mapmate(tm), you can print a custom
map of any area included with the game. You can pick which elements you wish to
be included in the printout, and print it to your Windows system
printer. ATC-SDK (Sector Design Kit) -
Professional Edition Only Although the sim comes equipped with 120 terminal areas, maybe
there is a special area that you would like to control? Now, our in-house design
tool is included with the ATCsimulator2 Professional Edition package and will
allow you to create the area of your dreams. It will also allow you to
edit/update any of the existing areas as the need arises.
