Original Summary

I&#x27;ve been building this top-down browser-based air traffic control simulator where you handle the ground movement of aircraft after noticing that a vast majority of browser ATC simulators are focused on the radar&#x2F;TRACON aspects of ATC that reduce our beautiful aircraft to dots on a screen with some text.<p>You handle everything between the runway and gates, issuing pushback, taxi, takeoff, and landing clearances to aircraft in this simulator, with aircraft logic and command mechanics working as close as I could to memory of how real ATC works. I&#x27;ve both flown planes as a student pilot and also hold aircraft maintenance certification so there is a lot of my judgement in this too.<p>These are all real airports, aircraft, weather, and operator patterns, referenced to publicly available airport data and satellite imagery, alongside input from fellow professionals in the industry.<p>There are synthetic aircraft engine sounds that use powerplant-specific sound parameters such as turbofans using N1%&#x2F;N2% with turboprops having a TRQ% parameter in addition, tuned to match different general engine types. (like the howl of a CFM LEAP-1A&#x2F;B being different to the buzzing of a RR RB211)<p>It works best on desktop, the phone mode is there but is a little bit clunky. No download or signup, all in the browser ready to go, with a quick tutorial under &quot;how to play&quot; to get you up to speed in aviation phraseology.<p>This is a quasi-simulator, based on real-world operations but with some game-like aspects to keep the player engaged and the overall simulator visually appealing. Keflavík (BIKF) and Stockholm-Arlanda (ESSA) are the two airports currently modelled in the simulator by yours truly.<p>I would love to hear anyone&#x27;s thoughts, especially curious to get feedback on the mechanics and experience from ANSP-adjacent or aviation professionals.
