ATC Radar View: displays all aircraft broadcasted by the Flight Server.Flight Server: simulates all aircraft in real-time and listen to all stations.The following computers and stations are used for particular purposes: The FS processes every command and return acknowledge to the sender. Aircraft models are defined in the Catalog and are instantiated at runtime.ĭuring a training session, any station sends messages to the Flight Server (FS) to control various aircraft or initiate specific operations. Each database holds as many scenarios as supported airports. Four databases are created, one for the FS, one for ATC Radar Views, one for the Pseudo Pilots and one for the Scenario Preparation. VsTASKER GUI is used to define all the logic and components shared among the various stations. It has been provided by Calytrix Technologies. This network has its own recording capability. As the simulation engine generated by vsTASKER is license free, the cost for a large number of running instances remains the same, mostly when embedded into a Qt visual interface.Ī second network is used for the voice communication between ATC operator and Pseudo Pilots. All the network traffic is recorded for later replay. The Flight Server (FS) acts as the central hub which sends/receives data and events to/from all others work stations.

The project has been carried out by WM Simulator co., ltd. The purpose of this ATC & Tower simulator is to provide real-time air traffic control training for multiple airports to several trainees simultaneously.
