About Contrails (BETA)

Test your skills as an air traffic controller by directing planes to their runways! But more than that, every game you play helps researchers at the Hybrid Systems Lab at Stanford and Berkeley collect data for air traffic control research.

Contrails has been designed to collect information for scientific research as you play the game. This information is sent back to a server at UC Berkeley and used to reconstruct your game. Each game will be processed using machine learning algorithms to help learn models of controllers for air traffic control research. See the website for more details!

Planes just appear in random spots instead of coming in from edge of screen as in other sims. Also planes frequently 'forget' where they've been told to go. Finally, it's too touchy to end your flight path in JUST the right spot at the end of the runway, forcing you to redraw approaches. Compared to Air Control and similar games, this one is lacking.

Really fun game, it's free, and it helps scientists make better air traffic control algorithms -- sweet!

Decent but no responsive enough. Clicks go unnoticed and crashes usually result.

The worst of all the air traffic control games. Droid 2

The worst one ever

F70%
by F####:

The game is fairly challenging, and I like the concept. However, it would be really nice with difficulty options and the option to change the number of incoming planes, so it isn't endless. Thanks for making an enjoyable and entertaining game! :-)

and nothing else. Controls felt laggy, too many planes in much too small a space. Just frustrating. Immediate uninstall.

W70%
by W####:

Sucks when is a plane appears well into the map. Makes attempting to set up a pattern pointless. Also planes collide when not that close together. I do like no helicopters.

Y70%
by Y####:

Graphic resolution is a bit low. Aircrafts increase to major levels too quickly.

Y70%

This app freezes or force closes at the end of every game, uninstalling.

H70%
by H####:

It could be better if it had less glitches. Over all, its a awesome game. Good job! :D

D70%
by D####:

Map is too small, you have no space to let the planes fly and line up for the runway. Result new plane comes in and crashes immediately with other plane. Uninstalled, sad because nice graphics :-)

S70%
by S####:

Reasonably good looking with a couple of good maps, but let down by it's poor response rate and glitches... results in crashes you can't avoid no mater what you do.

Really challinging and fun. Latest update has new airport and provides color alert to indicate aircraft type entering field.

C70%
by C####:

Planes appear on screen and instantly crash. Looks promising though

S70%
by S####:

Controls unresponsive, game will not size to full screen on qHD displays, background upload at the end of the game takes an age, giving the impression of a crash.

Very challenging game on a phone (Galaxy Note II); may be better on a tablet. You are trying to impose order on a chaotic situation. It is NOT like a real ATC scenario. Random freezes for about 10 min at end of a game. Remember that this is a Research Study Tool presented as a game - something very common in human factors studies.

K70%
by K####:

The game is awesome on my galaxy S3 but when planes crash game freezes and then I have to go back to my main screen and takes like 10mins for it to unfreeze and give me the option to try again if this is fixed ill up the rating

Trail disappears after selected rout..needs fixing gets annoying

Very nice but needs a tablet version

D70%
by D####:

Some incoming planes are not announced by any color indicator. A selectable number of planes to land would be nice instead of only endless planes. Wish there were more maps! High scores do not seem to display for my phone. Also found a glitch: two yellow planes overlapped in Alaska with no crash, all the way to the runway. Lastly, the entire screen of the HTC Sensation is not used; there is black space both vertically and horizontally.

I like the game itself but it keeps crashing. Sgs2.
