Radar Identified

You are the controller.

Radar Identified puts you in command of the upper airspace — the invisible high-altitude highways where hundreds of aircraft cross the continent every hour. Your job: keep them separated, keep them flowing, and get every flight where it needs to go.

Built by real-world air traffic controllers and pilots who wanted a simulation that gets the details right — proper phraseology, realistic climb and descent profiles, trajectory-based conflict prediction, and authentic sector procedures.

This is not a tower game — just a radar scope, flight strips, and the constant hum of radio traffic. You are the en-route controller: guiding aircraft between sectors, sequencing descents into the major airports, and resolving conflicts at 37,000 feet.

Realistic en-route ATC

— Real waypoints, airways and sector boundaries based on real-world ATC procedures

— ICAO standard phraseology — readbacks, callsigns and proper radio communication

— Flight-level management with the semi-circular rule

— Layered conflict tools — STCA (short-term alert), MTCD (medium-term, cleared-level trajectories) and a tactical sector-conflict planner to test your plan before you act

— Inter-sector coordination — landline calls and handoffs to neighbouring sectors and lower airspace

— Emergencies and restricted airspace that reshape your sector on the fly

— Dynamic weather — wind affecting groundspeed, plus storms and weather deviation

— Authentic airline callsigns and aircraft types — from Lufthansa A320s to Emirates A380s

Hear the frequency

— Offline ATC radio voices — pilots and controllers actually speak, with realistic readbacks and the busy chatter of a live frequency

— Voice control (beta) — issue your clearances by speaking, just like the real thing

Sectors

Control 21+ sectors across Europe and the United States, each with its own traffic flows, phraseology, and operational challenges.

Europe: München, Rhein-Main, Stuttgart, Erfurt, Gladbach, Koblenz, Paderborn, Zürich and Milano.

United States: Boston, North New York, Athens and Rochester, 4 West Coast sectors, plus the new East Coast corridor with New York Inland, Washington North, Virginia Upper, Pulaski and Charlotte.

European sectors use regional phraseology, while US sectors feature FAA-style commands and handoffs for a distinct control experience.

Your tools

— Radar scope — aircraft blips with data tags showing callsign, flight level, speed and destination

— Flight strips — accept, manage and hand off every aircraft

— Radial menu — quick flight-level changes, heading vectors and direct-to clearances

— Command line — type ATC commands directly for faster control

— Time control — speed up the quiet periods, pause to plan your strategy

Learn at your own pace

A full handbook with guided, hands-on lessons takes you from accepting your first aircraft to resolving head-on conflicts. No prior ATC knowledge required — and if you’re an ATC-sim veteran, you’ll feel right at home. Otherwise watch our videos on youtube!
