RadarContact
NEW: Version 6.3 features a new airport and turn direction assignments! For other news see the "New Features" section below. See the help section in the app for details.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: If the speech output of "non-native-english" airlines like Lufthansa, Alitalia etc. sounds strange, please make sure you have all needed languages (French, German, Italian) installed: Settings -> Language & Input -> Text-to-Speech Output -> Settings -> Install voice data
IMPORTANT: This app may be incompatible with the app "Launcher Pro". If it should crash after using "Launcher Pro", try starting RadarContact from the normal Android home screen.Furthermore, if your device does not support Open GL ES 2 or is using a custom rom, it is likely that the app will not run.
This is more a simulation than an arcade game. However, you will find every information required in the help section so you can try being an air traffic controller even without previous aviation knowledge!

In game menu has a bug to where you can't exit it. I've played it before and never had that problem. Also wish the terrain levels were not there to start. It's hard to line up planes.
Great, except with one very annoying bug(?) feature. On departure, you have to wait for the plane to reach within 400ft of the airport mva before vectoring.
Love the game! Most recent patch tho broke the setup screen completely forcing me to have to force close the app.
A Very thorough Explanation of the interaction between A.T.C. and the pilots that allow an aircraft to safely approach and land at a airport can be found in the help page.
Recommend update: take offs auto cancel game for being under airspace restrictions.
Great Game Having trouble saving scores though.
A fast forward mode 2x 4x .. was necessary
Guys why there are no other airport's n airlines like SAA
This is as good as it gets.
One of my favorites. Reduced from5 to 3 starts because it does not store my progress in the front screen. Cannot switch the airport or weather pattern without starting over by zero. Never updates my scores in the front screen, even though I save after each game. Also I just noticed I cannot change the airport anymore.
Awesome game, it has kept me occupied for many hours! Two issues I have though, pilots with French, German or Italian accents (although mostly French) take a long time to read back, with the effect that I am powerless to do anything until they have responded. Also, the localizers at Montreal seem a bit off: 24R is slightly misaligned, and I can't give approach clearance to aircraft for 24R unless they're at about 220 degrees and 9 miles or so from the threshold.
The resume button does not work and I do not have the patience to start every game from the beginning with zero points, so it's a no from me.
Need some improvements on this app, and it doesn't work that well on my Vivo Y15
1. Bug... departing traffic stop the game with bogus below minimums message. 2. Let us play beyond a flight below ssa. It doesn't have to stop the game just because traffic infringes sector safe altitude. This could be a great sim.
It's a great concept, it works fine. Should be improved HUD, the radio voice. But I think the HUD is the biggest thing to improve
Score does not save so I start at 0 every time even when I work 70 aircraft or more in one game
Bunch of crooks running app. Google Play says it is a free app but when you run it it wants you to pay for app. Avoid this app like the plague.
Fun and intense because like other traffic management games you always have to be thinking minutes ahead. Planes don't slow and turn on a dime so anticipation is key. Worth working through the manual to use all of the features.
Pretty good. A few minor bugs. Can't seem to get the points I got in the game to transfer to the main menu to progress to another airport though.
Hope to see some real airports and improved callsigns. Can't believe I was penalized for a plane that can't climb out of the MSA, walaoeh!
The best mobile ATC sim I have seen so far. It competes with famous desktop ATC simulators! Very good work! I still keep my android devices mainly because of few apps like that!
It's indeed help me to train with many aircft with usage of vectoring and speed control...thanks
Really hard game but true to what a control personelle must contend with. Excellent!!!
Unfortunately only a black screen.
Very cool and unforgiving. Awesome! I want to spend money on this! Where is the full version? :-)
Love this game. Challenging and addictive. Definitely not for newbie controllers.
I stuck at Munich. Can't be an examiner. Maximum 1000 point. So sad...
Excellent Smiulator. but in game saving a level is so difficult. u have to exit the game and again enter the game Good job again! I'm a professional Pilot for 16 years & played the " Radar Contact " for hours ! & really upgraded my vision in flight field. Haven't seen better ATC Simulator since, thanks for the new app, will be so grateful if these apps be available in ios mode for free, because unfortunate we've got lots of issues with paying online Again many thanks for your generosity Max !
