Please note that this distribution of the software does not include any of the SAPI 5.1 runtimes - you will have to download and install them yourself. Instructions for doing so are included in the ZIP file. This software is being provided as freeware to the ATC Simulator community. Enjoy!

January 16, 2009 - ATCsimulator® Turns 8 Today

Dear air traffic simulator community,

Today marks the 8th Anniversary of the publication of ATCsimulator®. I want to thank the aviation community, and
the 60,000 or so customers for your support in the past 8 years. I especially wish to thank AVSIM for their support in keeping ATCsimulator® alive in the minds and hearts of those seeking a career in air traffic control. I am looking forward to an even brighter future with many new challenges and new ideas in air traffic simulation in pursuit of the career and hobby that we all love.

I never dreamed that ATCsimulator® would have achieved such success in the past 8 years; you have made my dreams come true. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, sincerely, Russell B. Davis/aerostudios.

"..controllers are reaching the breaking point of what they feel they can safely handle in light of the chronic
failure and may have to resort to using non-radar procedures to separate flights in their airspace.."

MISSION STATEMENT:

To create the most realistic simulation products using current software technology. Todays user is intelligent, sophisticated and expects the ultimate in realism, as close as can be achieved. We do not believe in selling a "game" version of our product as a "watered-down" edition of a so-called "professional" version. Our products will maintain the highest quality, and will replicate the real-world, maintaining a balance between hardware constraints, and value-added playability. We believe in simulating the real-world as it is, because we believe the user is hungry for, and entitled to, the truth. But, this is after all, a game meant for the purpose of entertainment and is in no way intended to replace professional ATC training.
