ATC 5.03
This is an Adventure Game
Mactivity's CD-ROM nr 10 advice: This application did
run on a b/w 68030 processor under System 7.1. It was
also tested on a big ColorScreen of a PowerMacintosh
running System 7.1.2. The game was also tested on a
Quadra with 68040 processor and a 13 inch Color Screen
and System 7.1 by Mactivity.
As an air traffic controller, you are in charge of all
of the air traffic in your sector. The schedule of
arrivals, departures, and over-flights has already
been determined and its your job to guide all of the
aircraft safely to their destinations. All air traffic
controllers are required to use this simulator to train
themselves for difficult situations. The simulator
has a radar screen, status/command panel, shift clock,
current score indicator, wind direction indicator and
turn timer. Instructions for these devices is provided.
Air Traffic Control Radar Screen
The radar screen shows the current positions and headings
of all of the aircraft that are currently in the air.
If two or more aircraft are at the same location, only
one will appear on the radar. The space between dots
on the radar screen is the distance a jet plane will
travel in one 15 second turn. A propeller plane will
travel the same distance in two 15 second turns and
a helicopter will require four 15 second turns.
The radar screen also shows all airports in the sector.
Airports are numbered from 1 to 5. The airport headings
indicate the direction that all aircraft must use for
landings and takeoffs. Aircraft will enter and exit
either at one of the eight compass points on the radar
screen (N, S, E, W, NE, NW, SE, SW) or at one of the
airports.
When entering from a compass point, the heading is directly
toward the center of the radar. When leaving from
a compass point, the heading must be directly away
from the center of the radar. When leaving from an
airport, the aircraft will takeoff in the proper direction
for the airport. When landing, the aircraft must land
from the proper direction in order not to crash.
In addition to airports, the radar screen shows any
significant obstacles such as restricted areas, hills,
towers, and thunder storms. Thunderstorms move in direction
of the wind, which is shown in the wind direction indicator
window.
The altitude levels for hills and towers are shown and
they can be flown over without penalty. To preview
the aircraft entering in the next minute, place the
cursor in the frame of the radar window near the entry
point of interest and hold the mouse button down.
