For when most of the Northern hemisphere comes back to FlightGear from their holiday time off, new [[ATC-pie]] r6 has come out this month, featuring a '''tower viewing system''' working for '''both solo and multi-player''' games. It uses FlightGear to render the airport scene, and allows to overlook ground traffic and follow airborne aircraft in the surroundings. An integrated packet forwarding system also allows to connect to multiple views for all sorts of camera shots. | |||

Also added in this new version: | |||
* secondary radar screens with own viewing options and zoom levels, e.g. to monitor ground and full airspace simultaneously without zooming in/out repeatedly; | |||
* multiple weather tab view for quick lookup of any METAR information in the world. | |||
