Being an aviation idiot, I can't wait for this to come out.

Not too interested in the ATC side of things. But it looks like a good training tool

Po, it's not part of FSX

So on a scale of 1 to 10, how big of a thrill is Air traffic control?

Not saying it's useless, could be handy for work.

...I meant it could be an add-on. There's many, MANY add-ons for FSX which add 10x more realism. There's a ground vehicle simulator, enhanced scenery, cargo plane simulation...etc.

It's supposed to be really stressful stuff. Seems like good mental exercise...but if I have the time and already at my computer, I'd probably rather be shooting something.

Do you work in the rail industry?  didnt think so.

I found the ATC simulator that is out gave some pretty damn good insight into the traffic side of things.  This is just a different idea, plus with graphics and planes, not just a scope.

Being an air traffic controller is one of the most stressful jobs in the world, is it not? Sounds like a nice way to relax.

I would be too tempted to tell five different planes to use the same runway simultaneously.

I'm not criticizing the value of the game. I'm just saying that it sounds a bit... boring. Wouldn't you rather hijack cars in GTA?

It's not really meant to be fun though, Hurricane. It's meant to be a simulator. If you were into aviation as I and usmarine (him more than I obviously) are, you'd find it interesting. But you're not, so you don't.

Fair enough. I guess it's something you just either like or you don't? I guess I can see how you'd like it... you're in the aviation industry, you probably figure it's cool directing all these aircraft.
