Air Traffic controller DS

Quick summary
Dissapointing graphics(Very simple).Simple Idea and controlling. Very Challenging towards the end .Objective-To safely handle incoming and outgoing flights to the gates and back to the sky without any collisions.

So We are the Air Traffic controller(ATC).We have to manage the incomingdeparting flights without collisions.5 Different airports of japan available.All with difrferent runways and style of management.
1.Chubu-
2.Tokyo
3.Kansai
4.Fukuoka
5.New Chitose

All with their own special challenges.Some have runways which cross each other,Strong tailwinds,Long taxi routes and blizzards which snow out runways.Some have separate Domestic and international gates.

Gameplay
In Case of a departing plane we first confirm route then determine its runway-it gets pushed back and stays near the gate but on the taxi route.Then we clear it to taxi and when it reaches the runway we clear it to take off.
When an arriving plane comes It circles on a fixed circle above the airport while waiting to be assigned a runway.We clear it to land as it leaves the circle and before it reaches its final approach.Directions cannot be withdrawn after they are given.Collisons take place anywhere except just when arriving to the circle or when in a gate.One Collision and game over.
The Planes can be controlled in the circle by either increasing or decreasing speeds.The 3 possible speeds are 180 knots(low) 200 knots(medium) or 220 knots (high).But you cant specify which speed just to increase or decrease and only one step at a time.Taxying routes have to be observed as many collisions take place here and on the runway where a plane is waiting to be given permission to go to a gate. Once a direction is given we wait till the conversation is over before it is executed.

So its a one man traffic control system
Overall its a very challenging game which needs lots of patience an uses your brain. Timing your clearing directions well will save time and taking too long increases the stress level. At full stress its game over.
