Good game, room for improvement

The game works well and is actually fun to play. However, it has some annoying details like signaling close calls when the aircrafts have somewhere about 1500 ft vertical separation.

It would also be great if you had the option to use holding patterns and assign different altitudes to each aircraft, although this might take the stress level down and somewhat spoil the game idea a bit.

Great concept, lack of realism, speed is way off

The concept is great, unfortunately the level of realism is bad. The primary problem is speed. This is supposed to be a simulation, but when an inbound aircraft appears (supposedly at 300 knots), it only takes that aircraft 19 seconds to fly the 18 miles from Newark (KEWR) to Kennedy (KJFK) airport. That would be an airspeed of around 3600 knots. If the simulation was accurate, it should take that “300 knot” airplane around 3.6 minutes to fly between those points. This high speed, along with the lack of altitude choices makes it impossible to really succeed in this game.

Frustrating

Some options would be nice.
Also... the fast-forward button is positioned in the worst possible place (too easy to hit it and ruin a game ). Takes too long to slow an arrival down (have to repeatedly hit the button) ,assign a heading and command a descend.
