About this game

Endless ATC is a realistic and easy to play radar simulator. As an approach controller at a busy airport, you guide as many planes as possible safely to the runways. This version has multiple airports and challenging features:

• 9 airports (Amsterdam Schiphol, London Heathrow, Frankfurt, Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson, Paris Charles de Gaulle, New York JFK, Tokyo Haneda, Toronto Pearson and Sydney),
• wind and storms,
• areas with altitude restriction,
• adjustable radar delays to increase realism.

That, plus all the features from the free version, including adaptive traffic rate, pilot speech, unlimited randomized gameplay. If you haven't tried the free version yet, get it here:

Ratings and reviews

Great, but it could be better. The game is about as *realistic* as it gets when it comes to looking at an Approach Control radar screen and telling aircraft what heading, speed, and altitude to maintain. It's got some good customization options although the fact that you can't use all the runways at an airport like KATL leaves room for more. The interface is a little... blah... and there could be more types of commands to give. Overall, still a solid game.

I am a retired air traffic controller, center option, this sim is the most realistic I've ever seen. From the mix of traffic, the "curveballs", airspace, realism of aircraft actions, etc are very good. I would suggest that the 'endless' part is a little bit much. There would never be a single controller working 3 approaches, and departures, and heavy volume without help. Suggest a mode that is more reasonable in traffic, but strict enforcement on mistakes. If the beeper goes off, your done.

This game is very fun, but it's ultimately a multi-tasking simulator. It will steadily increase the number of aircraft under your control until you mess up...and you will mess up. I would love a mode where the difficulty increases in waves, with periods of lower activity, where you could clean up some of the messes before more aircraft are dumped in your lap. Also, I'd like to be able to turn off the "We're about to leave the airspace" warning.

What's new

v5.0.3: minor adjustments and bug fixes, including:
- Extended the time limit of some scenarios, to make them a bit less hard to complete (see the traffic menu at EHAM airport to start the first scenario).
- Added text modes to limit the amount of background text to declutter the display.
