About Endless ATC
In this simulation game, you are an air traffic controller at the approach radar of a busy airport. The goal is to guide the planes safely to the ILS (Instrument Landing System) of the runways to get a high score. If you make no errors, the number of planes you have to control gets larger and larger. How many flights at a time can you handle?
The game shows you a radar screen with planes and runways. Planes are generated randomly. To keep it fun and playable, this ATC sim is a bit simplified compared to real life, yet it's all on scale and the planes behave realistically.
A warning for users who are unfamiliar with aviation: due to high realism, this game may bore or frustrate you, so please read the instructions below first. :)
Instructions
Select a plane, give it a descend instruction (to about 2000 feet), guide it to the thin blue line at a large distance from the runway (somewhere between the blue circles), and clear it for approach by enabling ILS mode, which means it will follow the line to the runway (given that the plane captures the line at a shallow angle). It's also handy to check out the screenshots and the video. Then just try it! More detailed instructions:
• sequence the traffic to the ILS path in front of a landing runway. The runway is depicted as a small, thick blue line in the middle of the screen; the ILS path is the thin line extending from the runway. In order to capture this ILS beam, a plane must comply to three conditions:
(1) the ILS mode of the plane is activated,
(2) the plane has to be descended low enough to intercept the glideslope from below; the blue circles mark the altitudes of 2000, 3000 and 4000 feet,
(3) the plane must intercept the ILS at a heading of 50 degrees or less with respect to the runway (aim for about 30 degrees).
If captured correctly, it will follow the line and land automatically on the runway. Note that it takes some time for a plane to descend to the selected altitude. When a plane is fully established, it will be handed over the the tower and then you score skill points. For parallel approaches, maintain 1000 feet vertical separation until both planes are localizer established.
• Departing aircraft determine their heading and speed themselves (by default); they only require an instruction (when it's safe, of course) to climb to a higher altitude: flight level 130.
• You can also lose skill points when planes:
(1) fly too close to eachother (generally: overlapping circles and altitude difference <1000 feet),
(2) leave the airspace (outer grey circle), also if they are departures but leave the airspace at or below FL100,
(3) missed approaches/go arounds.
• The amount of planes that you have to control is about the same as the amount of skill points you have: the higher the skill value, the more planes you have to deal with. You can also achieve 'goals' by landing a certain amount of planes in the correct way.
• Some planes have an additional 'RD' tag; only these planes need to land on the secondary 'RD' airport.
In the menu there are options like a speed multiplier, and a 'skill cap' for a more relaxed gameplay: this 'cap' limits the skill value so the rate of inbound traffic will also be limited. Double tap on the radar screen to zoom in/out. Set sound mode to 2 or 3 for speech via android TTS (uses US and UK language).

Awesome game and it's getting even better!! But still even more departing traffic generally would be awesome and also more departing and arriving traffic from and to the second airport would be great as well! I love the aircrafts with technical problems and that they need time, they are not ready for approach right away!!

Amazing...U might find some difficulty in the beginning,but if u get the track, it will surely thrill u..Of course a bit tough is this game but I can enjoy this surely.Better visit their website before starting do u will get some basics on air traffic controlling..

Love it::: I play it all the time. No cost, nice and easy way to relax anywhere. It is easy , and then the more planes you land without hitting each other, the more planes come at ya,,,, then look out,,,, very fun.

Anyone who love aviation will enjoy this game, realistic & fun. You'll appreciate real-life approach controller more as you progress. Like other suggested, other airports maybe?

+ Uses no battery power + Realistic + Literally endless entertainment + No adware/payware bullshit + A real challenge + Gets easier if you suck - More addictive than cocaine

It's a great game, I love it! Play it every night waiting for my son to fall asleep. Great addition of weather and audio though different voices would make it an even better experience. It would be awesome to have different areas apart from Schiphol. Only bug I see sometimes is that the line indicating the direction is off a few degrees so even though you set course say 360 the plane goes rather 010.

Absolutely brilliant game, the only thing I can suggest is maybe a tutorial if possible for new players and make some complimentary information about ATC and what is being seen etc!

Not much else to say other than Endless ATC is by far the best ATC game for Android. Spent many hours playing it and excellent communications from the developer.

Really fun game! Not arcade style like most ATC games, and can get hectic like real life. I was a bit confused by the lack of multiple runways at first, but it turns out they open as you play based on skill/planes (?). While seeming simple at first, I still find myself playing for quite a while, trying to be the most efficient with the fewest mistakes. My only major complaint right now is the lack of multiple airports (there's only one) and also not being able to manually specify the number of runways

Radar-based ATC simulation done right in this game. The speech feature is also commendable. Next update; airports other than Schiphol, please?

So simple and yet, highly addictive. Just gamed along with my girlfriend for over an hour and must say, I'd love to see it updated with multitouch or multiplayer support. It is great fun playing in pair but we keep canceling each-other's actions.
