ATC Simulator Add-on Files
ATC Simulator provides a
highly accurate simulation of the ARTS-IIIa radar scope used by controllers at
terminal air traffic control facilities. Some of the features that make this
software so realistic are the use of actual flight data and airport
information, and a speech recognition program that eliminates the need for
keyboard entry of commands. For more information about this excellent product,
check out the ATC Simulator website.
Albany
Departures File This file adjusts the
departures at Albany, NY to provide for a more even flow of traffic. The most
recent version of ATC Simulator 1.0 includes higher traffic levels at all
airports in response to user feedback, but results in overlapping departures at
certain times. This updated departs.dat file does not randomly thin out the
departures, but is the result of checking the data against actual flight
schedules and removing duplicate information caused by airline timetable and
flight number changes. To use this file, first back up the original, then copy it into your ALB sector folder,
replacing the departs.dat file. The recently released version 1.5 of ATC
Simulator corrects this problem, so this update is not necessary for that
version of the program.
