There are some hardcore people in the aviation video game space. I’m sure there’s 2000 people in the country who are fully qualified to be an ATC that learned it from a hyper realistic simulator.
Report: 42% of commercial pilots confirm being given tower instructions to “do a barrel roll”.
If you’ve been on the various Flight Simulator networks like VATSIM and IVAO, you’d know plenty of gamers would quickly transition to IRL ATC with minimal additional training. And they’re used to handling some seriously chaotic and dumb shit with a straight face and perfect protocol.
Check some vids or people’s ATC setups on /r/flightsim
People have other skills , people can enjoy video games and be good for aviation. This doesn’t mean one equals another. The US government is basically a monkey trying to fuck a football …
That’s not fair to either monkeys nor footballs
There’s about 2000 folks that can shove that one in their mom’s face.
AirForceProud could run a whole airport by himself.
He would just have to watch out for hot-air balloons doing Mach 3.
How do we prevent further incidents like this from occurring?
Assemble an army of g*mers.
When you Air Traffic Controler tells you to drop 10K feet and enter the landing pattern but you do it wrong and they start waxing poetic about fucking your mom. /s
I’m surprised there isn’t an entire genre of ATC games out there
There are, from random clicker sims to running actual air traffic in flight sims with such realism it took me a while to be certain it was a game (and not a air traffic union or something) when I looked up the website
You can play as an ATC in online flight sims
Colab idea: ATC Sim and the planes are people flying in a flight sim so you talk to real people and instruct them.
Check out IVAO
I remember there being a fun one on iOS back in the day.
