While a lot of air traffic control is done for airplanes in the sky it is also important that airplanes move safely on the ground. Do you have what it takes to move airplanes safely and also have them arrive on time at the stand or runway?
This game had a bit of a rough launch and has been in a sort of early access stage. However, with regular updates the number of airports has gone from 5 to 10 and pilot voices has been added. There has also been various other improvements such as faster path finding. ATC Ground Point V2.0 was officially released on 17th of April.
Try controlling the ground movement of 10 different airports around the world. The layout of each airport challenging in it's own way. Full airport list:
CYVR Vancouver
EFHK Helsinki
EGLC London City
KRSW Fort Myers
KSEA Seattle
LIRF Rome
RJBB Osaka
RKSI Seoul
YMML Melbourne
ZSSS Shanghai
The community has created many different airports. See if you can find your favorite airport. If not try out the airport builder to create it. The airport builder is currently in beta.
The game has a simple point and click system to make it easy to get started. If things feel a bit too easy or too hard the arrival rate can be change both before and while controlling. In addition to the endless mode, there are aircraft movement and time-based game modes as well.
The game allows for customization in multiple ways. From the icons of the airplanes to the time between pilot messages.
Remember to handoff airplanes to tower when they get close to their assigned departure runway or are about to cross an active runway.
Turn on the automatic change of arrival rate to have a variation of hectic and calm times during the session.
Sometimes things do not go according to plan. Make sure to handle airplanes that need extra time or has to return to the gate. Also, make sure to give clearances to push tugs that are towing airplanes from one stand to another.
The scoring system is based on the difference between the actual time of arrival to a stand or runway and the slot time of the aircraft. Try to be as close to the slot time as possible but do not be late. And if a collision occurs your session is ended.
Good luck!
Looks cool, but sadly, it is very clunky and doesn't worth 15€. Also, aircrafts doing 180° on taxi is a real immersion-breaker.
In short - it's greately overpriced and is not worth 70 zl in polish region (appx. 20 USD). For all the features present right now in the game, it would be much more worth half the price, with which it got released a year ago. It lacks variety of gameplay and difficulty. Even with "special events" and operation frequency settings, it doesn't change the very primitive pileline of "clear the plane where it wants to go". There is no feel of real significance. No danger of miscommunication. No special operations with bigger planes (like heavies and supers like A380 or An225, if they were in the game). I know that the job of ground control is matching the games vibe in terms of its repetitiveness, but as a GAME I would personally expect it to be more engaging and less mind-numbing.
This is exactly what I've been looking for! It's quite awesome and under active development so it's only getting better and better! We've needed a sole ground operations sim for so long and this is it! It's a great system and I can't wait to see what the devs continue to do! Best game I've bought in a long time!
