This game is great for what it is, and a great improvement over Tower!3D (or whatever the last version was called). There are still tons and tons of rough edges: voice recognition problems (especially certain callsigns), problems with runways or taxiways not being named correctly, or their names not be recognized correctly. Sometimes aircraft just lose their AI completely, and just sit around, meaning they need to be deleted. Certain airports that have very close parallel approaches cause proximity penalties, when in real life, close parallel approaches (like at KSFO) are allowed and are routine. Also, the DLC airports are very expensive at ~$20 each. Good game, but frustrating at times.

100% Recommend the game as it is well worth it Compare to the only one that they release awhile back ago which was Tower Simulator 3D Pro. The Voice Feature works very well and by far amazing. There is a few downfalls that i will mention though below in Bullet Points. Downfalls 1. If you are playing by your self it is very hard to manage bigger Airports like KLAX, KBOS, KMIA, or even KATL. Bigger Airports will require you to play with Friends which is a big downfall. I wish the Devs would have thought about the ones that played Single Player more. They could of given us option for when we play as Single Player Only such as Choose a position that you want to play as such as Clearance, Ground or Tower instead of making us have to do all 3 at once. 2. Another thing is adding or making sure all of the US Airports are in the game. Whether you make the Airport for Free or make it a DLC. One Airport i do know that is missing is KLBB which is Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport. Beside these 2 downfalls the game is still a excellent game and the game can be played by just yourself just make sure you stick with Smaller Airports that only have 1 to 2 Runways.

If you are an aviation enthusiast looking for an immersive ATC experience, pick this one up along with the airline livery DLC. I find the game to be enjoyable and immersive. Playing busier airports like KLGA or KBUR at 85-100% traffic, watching the radar and optimally routing traffic at the same time can be challenging yet rewarding when rush hour finally ends and you are incident free! Alternatively, you can play a less busy airport and enjoy some leisurely plane spotting. The point here is that TS3 really is a multifaceted game in many respects depending on the mood you bring to the keyboard. Now the negative stuff: 1) Some of the wonky in-game issues others have reported are generally minor in occurrence and not UX killers IMO. 2) Aircraft engine sounds seem accurate, but overall engine volume and Doppler Effect physics need improvement. For example, when exiting the tower and viewing an A380 on the taxiway from 500 feet away you can barely hear it. 3) Most voice recognition issues I've encountered are due to my speaking the wrong phrases, call signs, runways, etc. However, I do think the voice command syntax needs to be relaxed. 4) The AI pilot voices sound genuine, but more are needed along with a speech cadence setting. There's maybe 10 AI voices and it gets old hearing the same ones. Also, informal phrases like "Good Morning" or "Good Day" need to be allowable response options, especially when the AI is saying them to you.

Is this a good sim overall? Yes I've bought this sim not long after its release. I also own the previous sim, Tower 3D Pro. Pros - Graphics, lighting, aircraft and sound- 8.5/10. Major improvement from the previous sim - Airports are well designed - Comes with a nice amount of starter airports - A good selection of additional airports to purchase and add to the sim with new ones continuing to be added - Multiplayer - Regular updates that continue to improve QOL, improve sim play and add additional content - A nice Portal where you can see and keep all of your FeelThere purchases organized and updated - Voice controlled with the option to also control aircraft from a click/message panel if needed - Ability to edit airport schedules (and other aspects) to allow you to customize your traffic - Good Discord community with frequent developer interaction Cons - Voice control is dependent on Windows voice recognition. For some, this may require you to train it on your PC which is a bit inconvenient. It can also take a moment to recognize what your saying and in some instances, stop working. A session reload usually helps with this. If you're not familiar with ATC phraseology, there will be a bit of learning curve. There is a document from the developer that lists all of the phraseology but they haven't been great about keeping this updated as new things are added. There is talk that FeelThere will be releasing another voice recognition system which will hopefully make this feature even easier and better to use. - Would love to see pattern work integrated as an option as this is something that Tower controllers handle in their airspace. - Career mode is a little ehhh... Most play "Quick-play" or a multiplayer session, and select the airport they want to control. Would love to see this aspect of the sim developed more to give players something more to progress through. - Price- With a base cost (not on sale) of $59.99 USD and an average add-on airport costing around $18.00 USD for just a simulator of Local airport control, the pricing is a bit steep. (There are some discount bundle options) In addition, if you want real-world liveries and traffic an additional investment of $44.99 is needed (from a partner designer) to add this to the sim. Otherwise you will have generic liveries and call-signs. Since FeelThere has not only developed their own sims but also contribute purchasable content to the MSFS community, I hope they rethink the pricing of their products. Even some of their older products are still priced way too high after being out for many years. There are some of us who love ATC and will take the hit in order to enjoy sim but I feel a lot of people who would probably play this sim are being completely priced out. This is a good simulator and if you love this kind of sim, I would wait until it and the add-ons go on sale and pick up what you can!

As a real life ATC I can only say that the game is amazing. Of course it's not perfect but at this moment you can't get closer to the real life experience with anything else on the market (not counting maybe VATSIM but that's a totally different thing). Let me summarize the main features of the game, the good sides and possibly what it misses: - the way you talk to the airplanes is very close to real life, the phraseology might differ just a bit and is a bit too schematic, but that's just the downside of using voice recognition rather than talking to real human - all the ATC techniques work as they should and reassemble real life very well - airports are realistic with every little taxiway named correctly - airlines callsigns and schedules are true to real life (although you have to pay extra for that) - radar display is realistic although a bit simplified to real life - flight strips are semi realistic, you can use them to some extent but they can't be really used to identify conflicts and you will have to rely mostly on ground radar display (which you would do anyway as bigger airports use that and are often working stripless) - there is a variety to chose from between very large airports with enormous traffic and some smaller ones with more chill out experience - multiplayer support is just an amazing thing, you can divide the traffic between positions as ground and air adding even more to realism and immersion - lack of VFR flights unfortunately, which is not something important on busy airports but for the smaller ones takes a bit of realism and challenge - total lack of vehicles, which are an important part of real life aerodrome control - flexibility of how you setup the experience (for example how you chose which runways to use) allows for very realistic operations or some experimenting, unfortunately there is no complete description on what configurations are realistic for each airport, you will have to figure it out or do some research in the AIP - graphics is very good and you can move the camera freely, therefore you can either position it where you want or stick to tower view as in real life, although in that view a large monitor (or even multi monitors) is recommended for better experience - some of the screens are configurable so you can craft the flight strips or radar displays the way you want them, unfortunately there is no editor for that, you will have to edit .csv files - the manual is very basic, it just tells you how to operate the game, it unfortunately lacks some kind of introduction on ATC techniques, how you should work on paralled dependent runways and so on, you will have to get this knowledge from other sources - there is a Discord channel with very helpful community - the price tag is pretty high but it's justified as the product is not aimed at a wide audience Among many job simulators available this one really does it very well. Comparing it to real life it's really as close as it could possibly be. The game is missing some parts of the real job, like for example handling vehicles, but in general gives the right and proper feel. The learning curve is steep and if you have no experience in real ATC it might be overwhelming at first but it's really worth the effort. Remember that IRL we spend hundreds of hours to learn the job and then years to master an airport, being prepared to handle it in different configurations, weather conditions etc., so this is how much time you can spend on each airport to master it and you have 6 of them for the start with many more to buy additionally. Even though I do this stuff for living I still like to play the game from time to time because it gives me new airports, new challenges, new ways to develop myself in a non stressful environment, just having fun. If you are interested in ATC and want to get the feeling of how all of this works it's just an amazing product for you to play. However if you are not willing to spend hours learning and mastering it probably you should skip it and decide to pick up something much simpler than that. The game is difficult, challenging but really satisfying to play.
