Sky Approach Lab

Sky Approach Lab started as a 2D air traffic control simulator, designed to train controllers with the highest level of realism possible. But as development progressed, I realized this project could be much more: a fun, challenging, and accessible game for everyone!

Developed using the Cave Engine, the simulator allows you to control multiple aircraft at the same time. The original idea was to have an air traffic controller give instructions to ensure they all reach their destination without colliding, and our task was to execute all commands promptly and for the correct aircraft. But now, I want to turn this experience into something everyone can enjoy, even if they’ve never heard of air traffic control.

What makes Sky Approach Lab even more exciting is its flexibility. You can create new traffic scenarios for the simulation by designing custom flight plan files (.fpl) and even create new maps (.map). To help you get started, I’ve included two example files: "sbxo.fpl" and "sbxo.map". These will give you a head start in crafting your own unique simulations!

I need your feedback to make Sky Approach Lab even better. Download it, test the prototype, and let me know what you think. You don’t need to be an expert – if you enjoy games that require strategy and a bit of multitasking, you’ll have fun with this challenge!
