This flight simulator is a cut above some of the others but it has to be said that Air Traffic Control is not for your get-up-and-go gamesters.

You must monitor and control air traffic over a given air space. In this case you're looking after the air lanes around Bournemouth and Southampton. The airways here are bustling with planes bound for or arriving from Europe and the States. Keeping tabs on all this lot is not easy.

When asked you whether or not you want printed details of planes coming into your area, you can then select a skill level between one and nine. The package comes with a keyboard overlay and a detailed and easy-to-follow manual. The screen display is a bit drab, mostly black and white, but looks just as it should - lines all over the place showing flight paths. A flight data display, giving details of each flight currently monitored is available at the touch of a key.

At the higher skill levels there are all sorts of difficulties. For example you must keep your traffic well away from Military Crossers - RAF aircraft crossing the airways are out of your jurisdiction. Radio or pressurisation failure, which mean the pilot of the damaged craft will descend rapidly to the highest safe level, will have you hairless in an instant.

Air Traffic Control is very good, comprehensive and if you like this sort of game, well worth the price.
