Fun to play, I like it puts a close by airport on the high-score board.

Both me and my friend have been racing eachother to create airport simulators. Wildly on-topic for me.

Fun. But the ATC has a different UI I think?

When I was growing up, there were two airport simulator games that were pretty fun to play. One of them I remember playing on my Sega Genesis.

Nice homage to Flight Control (2009)

This is super fun! Could be neat to add keyboard controls for auto routing (i.e. select plane number n and auto route it to strip x or have it fly a go-around to wait). Would also be sick if you added models of real world airports to play. That said I love this as is and will definitely be playing & sharing it.

Think it needs just a little zoom out on my phone but had a fun time. Both my games ended off screen

I was only thinking about Flight Control[0] the other day and how I wish there were more modern takes on it! There was Mini Metro[1], but that was released over a decade ago. -- [0] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_Control [1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini_Metro_(video_game)

4 successful landings before disaster struck, not a bad first day as ATC

Absolutely delightful, just played a few rounds. I really love ATC games and the "draw it by hand" aspect makes this kinda funny. Maybe I need to try with a real mouse, kinda slow on a trackpad. For a more serious entrant in this genre (with speeds, altitudes and radio navigation), check out Endless ATC on Steam. I landed some 40 flights and made it near the top of the leaderboard. The scoreboard is taking too much screen space and occluding the planes, would be better to have scores at the top or bottom.

Took me far too long to work how to get a plane to land, was drawing lines along the runway rather than dropping them on the coloured spot at the end and they were overflying. Was thinking the paths weren't straight enough, once I figured it out was quite funny to find the planes can do 180° turns mid air to land.

This was really fun to play with, I have a few suggestions: - As the airspace gets more congested, it becomes difficult to click the airplanes as you can also grab an existing path, messing everything up. - The big stats table on the top left completely obscures a good portion of the map, making it harder than necessary. A togglable or semi-transparent option would be nice. -The possibility of zooming or moving around could be nice

Open up https://www.liveatc.net/ in another tab and you have a complete experience. Really fun!

Nice and fun, but I'd like that the fame enforces a minimal turning radius.

Not enough of you played Flight Control in 2008 and it shows.

Just a green background and some text on Firefox.

Fun how quickly i developed my own rules. Yellow planes always get rerouted this way. Put red in this circle to stay out of the way. Thank you for sharing and thank you maker for makign!

Is this based on WebAssembly?

I'm kind of disappointed that this isn't a simulator for managing what happens inside the airport rather than ATC. I'm also unsure why I feel that way as it sounds like a nightmare
