Tower!2011:SE

Tower!2011:SE is an air traffic control simulation based on the classic Tower!2011 simulator. You direct aircraft of different sizes and capabilities to and from the active runway, managing their movements on the ground and in the air.

Direct aircraft

As the tower controller, you make sure it is safe for aircraft to enter or cross a runway, assign taxiway routes, control when aircraft stop and start moving, and clear them for takeoff. You can change runway assignments for arriving and departing aircraft, set headings before departure, and give heading and turn commands to aircraft in flight. The simulation includes runway racetrack patterns, intersection takeoffs and hold-short commands for taxiways and runways.

AI pilots follow complex tower commands as they taxi around the airport and fly approach and departure procedures. You can use voice control, and the game provides flight strips, ground and air radar screens, and a top-down view of the airport.

Airports and tools

The game includes three airports with photorealistic 2D graphics, dynamic lighting and shadows, and ground traffic such as cars on freeways, highways and streets. The sun cycle is calculated from real-world data, and the game has stereo sound. Editors used by the development team let you create airports, schedules and aircraft.

Tower!2011:SE updates the classic simulator to run better on modern computers and addresses some of its issues.
