Due to customer demands, instructions on how to play are now available on the website.
Play an ATC (Air Traffic Controller) for the arrivals of a busy airport with 3 types of planes arriving plus emergencies.
You can configure the maximum number of randomly generated planes will appear on your radar scope at one time. Direct them in for a landing, score a point, and get the rest of the planes in.
You name the feature you want to see and we'll shoehorn it in there. ;-)
Landing Instructions:
They are given at start up but I'll post it here as well as the website.
When the plane is close to being in line with a runway, hit the big white "COMMAND" button. From the popup, issue the vector command to the runway of your choice. Runway 36 is the runway on heading 360 for example (North) so you'd approach it from the South.
By the time the plane reaches the runway, it should be at 500 feet, at a speed of 150k or less, and on a heading within 30 degrees of the runway... so if you're landing on 36L (or 36R) the plane should be on a heading between 350 and 10 degrees.

Air traffic control via screen taps
by Rob Griffiths, Macworld.com
Many years ago, one of my favorite Mac diversions was a game by Wesson International called Tracon II. Tracon was an air traffic control simulation for the Mac, and when I say many years ago, I really mean many years ago—the game was around in the late 1980s and early 1990s. (It’s so old, that this French site was really all I could find that showed the game.)
