=== New (4th!) ATC-pie release ===
[[File:ATC-pie-logo.png|200px|left|ATC-pie logo.]]
[[ATC-pie]] now provides a '''solo training mode''' for ATCs. Using the same interface as the multi-player game mode and an additional instruction pane, you can choose to play offline and control virtual aircraft as Tower, Approach, Departure, or any combination of those positions. As MP traffic still can be scarce in many occasions on our network, this new game mode can be a solution for you not to give up on a planned session and give yourself some challenge. Also, you may learn from it enough to make your own MP sessions more popular over the network!
The main features are:
* Free combination choice of APP, TWR and DEP control positions for custom training
* Handovers to/from virtual ATCs
* Instruction interface and pilot read back
* Adjustable difficulty (traffic density)
* Departure–arrival and ILS–visual balance options
* Configurable runways in use, entry and exit points
