Air Traffic: Greenlight

I wasn't sold at first sight on this game/simulator. The graphics and having to earn "radars" seemed gimmicky. However I was totally wrong. If you are looking for a really good ATC radar game this would be the one. As an airline pilot I like the ATC side of trying to manage airspace. It's not easy. It requires attention, strategy and most of all having a contingency plan. Air Traffic allows you to make holding patterns, routes/airways, SIDS and STARS. You can add constraints to fixes. You can modify takeoff instructions so aircraft turn or climb to a predictable area. All in all you can modify a lot in this sim. There is way more to this sim than meets the eye, and as I said, as an airline pilot looking for an really good ATC sim this is certainly a good one. My only wish was that the graphics where a bit better, Just a bit. I feel like it's a 1990's video game presentation. I wish I could make the aircraft data block a little smaller than its smallest setting. Other than that it is really really good and worth the price to play. Cheers!

This is the ATC counterpart to Nuclear Option for me. A perfect balance of sim and game. It's simple enough to jump in and get going easily, but deep and complex enough to keep me engaged.

This game is actually really great. It's like crack for my ADHD! You take on the role of an AATC (Area Air Traffic Controller) as opposed to the other games where you're the ATC at an airport. So, you're the person the ATC at the airport hands departures off to. At it's current price, it's a steal.

If you're trying to decide between this and Approach Control Remastered, get this one, it's half the price and a legitimately better game overall. Air Traffic: Greenlight has a learning curve, but once you get used to it, you'll play for hours without even realizing it! The 2.7 hours I have on record as of this review is ONE session. This isn't a game you pick up and put down 15 minutes later like Airport Madness, or Terraria. Once you start, you won't want to stop for probably at least an hour or two! Although it won't show on Steam because I got the games before I ever got my Steam account, I have hundreds of hours playing Airport Madness as a child, and this slots in perfectly! Also check out the Radar Chaos games by Big Fat Simulations! Yes, I have a powerful PC, but this game seems like it'll run on an overclocked toaster.

While Global ATC Simulator provides a similar play-loop, and 14 000+ airports, Air Traffic: Greenlight delivers on a "progression system" that allows you to gradually install systems improving autonomy and reduce workload/increase capacity for only a handful of carefully designed airports. A very interesting twist to the genre. After only a few hours of gameplay, I feel this is a gem. Lots of options to cater for various playstyles. Problem solving on many levels. All I miss is a good "airport" editor so we can fill the workshop with our own creations. Totally recommended!

Very fun with the numerous different choices for airports. I do love the level of realism. Would definitely buy again.

Excellent ATC game. You don't need to remember heaps of codes to use it, it's just point and click and great way to while away a few hours. No voice needed, just mouse clicks. It's moddable, which makes it great, and you can add your own fixes. Shame you can't remove them. Definitely recommend. Please. Release a way for us to make our own Sector Maps.
