As many of you know, LiveFlight is some what of a radar for Infinite Flight, it shows stats of planes and info about the pilots by clicking/tapping on them. Well what if we had a ATC version, this would simply what it is but more of a radar feel, if you don't know what the typical ATC radar looks like: (https://gyazo.com/425fd5e0881ec7eeac2df5d28abb705d zoomed in view. https://gyazo.com/50aa4d53d08bf04c6f603b0e7b2853e3 zoomed out view.) This would mean Verbal Air Traffic Control organisations such as IFATS could be more professional with their work.

Something like this would help members who wan't to learn about ATC and easier for in-game/vatc users. We would be able to have our traffic well organised. IFATS have recently surpassed 290 members and still growing. With the release of global controllers can only view planes a certain distance from the airport making it hard to manage and control planes during the session With the release of global our controllers can only view planes a certain distance from the airport making it hard to manage and control planes during the session.

LiveFlight is a great service and don't get me wrong I respect Cameron's decision along with his developers. I have been told by a number of Infinite Flight developers that something like this is easy enough to program but none of them would develop it as it was to similar to LiveFlight. What I recommend for this is depending on if this feature costs the developers then have it as a LiveFlight Horizon subscription members.

I feel this could change the Infinite Flight Community majorly making VATC services more popular and more people wanting to learn about ATC.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you sign!

I am currently drafting a formal proposal to outline the specific technical requirements for this radar client. This document will be sent directly to the development team to clarify why current observation limitations hinder professional ATC organization.

This will be if not the greatest advancement with Infinite Flight and IFATS. Thank you Cameron!

YES PLEASE. controller HUD on a second screen is exactly what we need to stop being so overwhelmed at busy airports!

Managing traffic during global flights is a nightmare right now with the current view limitations. This app would make everything so much smoother for us.

IFATS (IFSIM) Founder and Former President, would love to see this happen so the current staff team can develop the service further.

Being a controller would be nice with a separate app for ATC because its a pain spawning in a watching people on the map/ radar on IF!

Really great idea! I have been wanting a feature like this for ages on Infinite Flight, but never thought of having it on live flight. If we could do the click and drag on an aircraft to tell us the heading, that would really assist us in radar vectoring. Another great feature would be for controllers to be able to type information on that aircraft, for controllers later on to see, so it would perform pretty much like a squawk code. VATC controllers would maybe have to have some sort of password to see that so that random people can't just type something up. Thanks again for this amazing idea!
