Endless ATC

In this simulation game, you are an air traffic controller at the approach radar of a busy airport. The goal is to guide the planes safely to the ILS (Instrument Landing System) of the runways to get a high score. If you make no errors, the number of planes you have to control gets larger and larger. How many flights at a time can you handle?The game shows you a tracon radar screen with locations of planes and runways. Arrivals and departures will appear randomly. This ATC sim is a bit simplified compared to real life to keep it fun and playable, but nevertheless it's all on scale and the planes behave quite realistically.WARNING: this app tries to be realistic so it may bore or frustrate you if you're unfamiliar with aviation :) Please read the instructions below first, because in-game there is only a little bit of help.INSTRUCTIONS- Select a plane, give it a descend instruction (to about 2000 feet), guide it to the thin blue line at a large distance from the runway (somewhere between the blue circles), and clear it for an ILS approach by enabling 'ILS' mode, which means it will follow the line to the runway (given that the plane captures the line at a shallow angle). It's also handy to check out the screenshots and the video. Then just try it! More detailed instructions:- sequence the traffic to the ILS path in front of a landing runway. The runway is depicted as a small but thick blue line in the middle of the screen; the ILS path is the thin blue line extending from the runway. In order to capture this ILS beam, a plane must comply to three conditions:(1) the ILS mode of the plane is activated,(2) the plane has to be descended low enough to intercept the glideslope; the blue circles mark the heights of 2000, 3000 and 4000 feet,(3) the plane must intercept the ILS at a heading of 50 degrees or less with respect to the runway (in reality they use 30 degrees).So if a plane is at 2000 feet and approaches the ILS line at a shallow angle with ILS mode activated, it will follow the line and land automatically on the runway. Note that it takes a while for a plane to descend to a low enough altitude. When a plane is established correctly on the ILS, it will be handed over the the tower and then you score skill points. For parallel approaches, maintain 1000 feet vertical separation until both planes are localizer established.Departing aircraft determine their heading and speed themselves (by default); they only require an instruction (when it's safe of course) to climb to a higher altitude: flight level 130.You can also lose skill points when planes:- fly too close to eachother (generally: overlapping circles and altitude difference <1000 feet),- leave the airspace (outer grey circle), also if they are departures leave the airspace at or below FL100,- missed approaches/go arounds.The amount of planes that you have to control is about the same as the amount of skill points you have: the higher the skill value, the more planes you have to deal with. You can also achieve 'goals' by landing a certain amount of planes in the correct way.Some planes have an additional 'RD' tag; only these planes need to land on the secondary 'RD' airport.In the menu there are options like a speed multiplier, and a 'skill cap' for a more relaxed gameplay: this 'cap' limits the skill value so the rate of inbound traffic will also be limited. Other parameters are randomly chosen.
