This is so cool! I like the use of the realistic look of it, and the simplicity of the design and interface is great.

It's a shame you haven't rated other games, because this could have done well if you found enough players with an interest in ATC. Certainly I haven't got time to learn the ropes but it looks very impressive nonetheless.
