Air Traffic Control software for
Microsoft Flight Simulator Macintosh version 4.0.

Fly your favorite air routes under the direction of Air Traffic
Control (ATC.) FS-ATC 3.1 incorporates artificial intelligence to
guide your flight from taxi to departure, through approach and
landing. Great for flight simulator fans. Using Apple's Speech
Manager, FS-ATC's controllers will literately speak to you.

FS-ATC gives new life to the old, venerable Macintosh version
Microsoft Flight Simulator 4.0. This will cure your PC envy with
Flight Simulator 5.1

FS-ATC is an air traffic controller software that operates with
Microsoft Flight Simulator. It runs on the background and it uses
some undocumented apple events to find out position, direction,
altitude and speed of aircraft. Using this information FS-ATC sends
messages to the pilot using Speech Manager or displays them as text.

FS-ATC 3.0 contains internal databases for VORs, center locations,
and a selection of airports. This version introduces fully automatic
air traffic control from gate of pilot chosen departure airport to the
gate of destination airport.

Controller files used in earlier versions of FS-ATC are still supported.

FS-ATC 3.1 is released as shareware (10 US$). The registered users
will receive documentation for creating controller files of their own.

DISCLAIMER: I'm not a pilot myself, I wrote the program just for fun.
The messages and routes are purely fictional.
