USB Headsets

For those of you wishing to utilize speech recogntion, USB headsets are not recommended. A standard analog headset that uses the MIC input of your sound card produces superior response to that of USB headsets. Plus, known issues with USB headsets will be avoided when a standard analog headset is utilized. This information is most applicable when using the shareware program ATA (Air Traffic Assistant) designed for use with ATCsimulator2.

FREEWARE Speech Recognition Software available

Dave Lange has completed his ATCListener program and it is available for download. Click here to download your copy. ATClistener is based on SAPI 5.1 rather than SAPI 4.x. Some who have struggled to get SAPI 4 to work have had better results with SAPI 5. 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! In the event of problems, please contact Dave Lange. aerostudios does not provide support for this freeware application.

January 16, 2016 - ATCsimulator® Turns 15 Today

Dear air traffic simulator community,

Today marks the 15th Anniversary of the publication of ATCsimulator®. I want to thank the aviation community, and the 75,000 or so customers for your support in the past 15 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 15 years; you have made my dreams come true. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, sincerely, Russell B. Davis/Thrill-Rider.

"..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.
