Endless ATC Lite - Air traffic management & simulation

In this simulation game, you take on the role of an air traffic controller managing the radar at a bustling airport. Your objective is to safely direct the airplanes towards the runway utilizing ILS approaches in order to achieve a high score. As you successfully handle more flights without errors, the number of planes under your control will increase. How many aircraft can you oversee simultaneously?

The game presents a minimalist yet realistic experience. The radar screen may appear complex initially, so if you're not familiar with aviation, it's advisable to review the in-game instructions. The gameplay is exclusively in English.

Instructions

Choose an aircraft, direct it to descend to roughly 2000 feet, guide it to align with the blue ILS line from a considerable distance from the runway, and authorize its approach by activating ILS mode. This allows the plane to follow the line toward the runway (ensure that it intercepts the blue line at a gentle angle).

For each aircraft you safely bring to the runway, you earn skill points; accumulating more points results in a higher influx of planes into the airspace. Departing flights set their own heading and speed; they only need you to instruct them to ascend to a greater altitude. If errors occur, your skill level will slightly decrease. Some aircraft are marked with an 'RD' tag; these planes should be directed to land at the secondary 'RD' airport. When handling landings on parallel runways, ensure a vertical separation of 1000 feet until both aircraft are aligned with their localizer.

Features

Broke my expectations in every way. It's not too hard to learn but it's fun and realistic. Thanks to it's simple nature and lack of a menu screen, it is ready to play the second you open it, and it saves where you were when you close it, making it a great pick for short waits that might not be more than 5 minutes. The only reason for four stars rather than five is that the game needs more and better tutorials. Had the game for 2 weeks and I'm still discovering new features!

Wow! This is a really well done game for mobile. It's fast paced like you'd expect from the real airport. Takes a lot of multitasking to keep separation. Stressful, but fun! NOTE: Out of the box, this game isn't very beginner friendly at all. If you have little to no knowledge about air traffic control, this will be very frustrating for you. If you're genuinely interested in learning, look up some videos. Plenty of great tutorials out there.

The best air traffic control game, ever. I wish there was an option to enable the 30 degree angle to the glide slope, and some guide to show detailed information like at which point aircraft should be at 4000 ft to catch the ils and where it should be 2000ft etc. Some control options are a bit tricky to adjust but the gameplay experience is so immersive, it's very easy to lose hours particularly if you set it to custom settings

Very good game, I don't know how real ATC looks like, but it certainly feels like it would be like this. Gamemode is not my thing. I'd rather have a more management-style game, where runway numbers and traffic volume depend on the size of your airport, and maybe this could be integrated into the game engine. The game as it is stresses me out a bit, but it is really good regardless.

That's a very interesting and exciting game, I began normal playing after about 20 minutes of adaptation and haven't stopped yet! I believe that everyone who likes aviation and all this stuff just has to try and play the game! Suggestion: add something like a wait list which contains callsigns of planes in the order of arrival, and those planes which are privileged (broken engine, and all), of course lift in the list. I think there's some similar stuff in real life. PS sorry for my English.

This is an elegant and beautiful app - Reminds me of a similar DOS program I had in the 90s which worked in the same way. Only this one has all the bells and whistles! Its a small app, doesn't take all your space on the phone and it is as the title says, endlessly interesting. Very impressed. A lot of work must have gone into this! The different voices are a nice touch :)

Simple game with fairly simple controls. Requires a bit of air traffic knowledge, but users should be able to figure them out within the first few minutes. As you get better, your score increases, and the number of planes transiting through your airspace increases as well as the number of runways, and ramps back down if you start losing control. Keeps the game challenging. Not all aircraft are created equal! Watch out for heavys and supers, as their wake turbulence will throw off smaller planes behind them if they are too close.
