You are the air traffic controller, and players will connect to the network (or AI traffic be simulated in solo mode) 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) what you pick up from on-board ''transponders'' in your range.

* 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. | ||
