Tracon for Windows

Tracon for Windows brings the air traffic control simulation into the Windows environment, preserving the central challenge of coordinating aircraft while presenting the experience through a more contemporary interface for its time. The player monitors incoming and outgoing flights, assigns routes, and keeps traffic separated before the radar screen turns into an aviation-themed disaster movie. The game is methodical rather than spectacular, but that makes successfully handling a busy period surprisingly rewarding. Every aircraft becomes another responsibility, and the pressure rises as more flights enter your airspace. There is no need for explosions or dramatic music; a single poorly planned instruction can provide enough excitement. Tracon for Windows is aimed at players who enjoy simulations where knowledge and careful decision-making matter more than reflexes. It may not sound thrilling at first, but there is a peculiar satisfaction in watching a complicated stream of aircraft pass safely through your sector because, for once, you managed to keep everyone from bumping into everyone else.
