You are the air traffic controller, and players will connect to the network (or AI traffic be simulated in solo | You are the air traffic controller, and players will connect to the network (or AI/teacher traffic be simulated in solo/student modes) with different types of aircraft and [[transponder]] equipment. As in real life, the radar is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_surveillance_radar SSR], hence will show you only (unless you cheat or activate the primary radar) what you pick up from on-board transponders in your range. This means: | ||
* If a transponder is off or on standby, you will not see the aircraft on your radar screen. | * If a transponder is off or on standby, you will not see the aircraft on your radar screen. | ||
* If a transponder is on, you will at least be able to see its position and read the transponder code, possibly its altitude and even its type and callsign, depending on the mode set by the pilot. | * If a transponder is on, you will at least be able to see its position and read the transponder code, possibly its altitude and even its type and callsign, depending on the mode set by the pilot. | ||
