SimulationIs Tower!2011:SE worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Air traffic control simulation fans who want to direct aircraft through runway and taxi procedures
- Players interested in managing ground and air traffic rather than flying aircraft themselves
- Simulation fans who want to create airports, schedules, and aircraft
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a short, action-led experience rather than ongoing traffic management
- Players who prefer simple commands and low-complexity systems
- Players looking for activities beyond air traffic control
Our take on Tower!2011:SE
The page emphasizes complex commands and realism, while the described work centers on directing aircraft through runway, taxi, and flight procedures. The scope is specific: 3 airports are included, alongside editors for creating airports, schedules, and aircraft.
What is Tower!2011:SE?
Tower!
2011:SE simulates air traffic control at 3 airports. The role involves guiding aircraft to and from an active runway, checking that runway entry and crossings are safe, assigning taxi routes, and issuing takeoff clearances. Flight strips, ground and air radar, and a top-down airport view support the work. AI pilots follow tower instructions, including taxiing and approach and departure procedures; voice control is also available. Commands cover holding short, changing runway assignments, setting post-takeoff headings, and directing aircraft through runway patterns and intersection takeoffs. Editors allow creation of airports, schedules, and aircraft. The game updates the Tower! 2011 simulator to run on current computers and addresses some earlier issues.
How Tower!2011:SE plays
- 01Airport editors
- Create airports, flight schedules, and aircraft with the same editors used by the development team.
- 02Voice control
- Speech recognition can be used to issue tower commands.
- 03Aircraft commands
- Set headings, change runway assignments, and route aircraft between parking and terminal areas.
- 04Airport traffic
- Moving vehicles appear on freeways, highways, and streets around the airport.
