The ATC-"aircraft" is the FlightGear interface for the Air Traffic Control. This means that any player can log on as ATC and control the traffic for any airport of their choice. This is only available for FlightGear version 1.9 or higher.

  • To move to a new airport, use the Location > Tower Position menu.
  • To adjust view position, modify /sim/tower properties in the property browser.

Todo/Bugs

  • The radar screen is oversized on some screen sizes. It should be automatically resized for any window size.
  • The screen showing the ATC view is very small when viewed with radar. The radar screen should be resized by the user if possible.
  • There are some bugs when using normal MP Chat. You can't then use it again (FG has to be restarted to fix the bug) and you have to use the ATC Chat box at the bottom.
