BillD22 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 OK boys and girls how many of you remember this cool feature of FSX? The tower view that let's you see all the action on an airport from the vantage of an air traffic controller. I had totally forgotten about this and only recently rediscovered it Comes complete with views of all the runways and parking, a radar display of traffic in the area, the ability to zoom in and out on all the departing, arriving, and taxiing aircraft, and listen in on all the airport communications (ground, clearance, approach, departure, etc.). Here are some shots of Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (KATL) from the traffic controllers view. Atlanta is rated as the busiest airport in the U.S. and these shots show why If you've forgotten how to start up this feature like I had here's the gouge: http://www.microsoft.com/Products/Games/FSInsider/missions/Pages/ListeningIn.aspx From your controllers seat you can pan around and look at all the runways and parking areas The radar display shows traffic in the airport vicinity with ID tags + you can select and listen in on all the airport control frequencies You can zoom in or out on taxiing, landing, and departing traffic. Here a Delta MD80 lifts off Runway 26L We watch the MD80 climb out. "Delta 616 contract departure" Two757s pass - one ready for departure on Runway 27R - the other on the parallel taxiway taxiing for departure. Since Atlanta is Delta's home base most traffic is Delta A typical traffic line for departure at KATL. "Folks from the flight deck, we're number six for departure" (which in Atlanta on a busy day is actually a pretty good position :D:D:D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
