Shrapnel Games' Air Command 3.0 Is Available

Shrapnel Games announces that Air Command 3.0, the intense air traffic control simulation developed by Joe's Games for Windows, is now available. Air Command 3.0 allows gamers to step into the shoes of an air traffic controller at one of the world's busiest airports and push tin on your personal computer (for an even more exhilarating experience play in a darkened room, with the air conditioner going full blast, and skip sleep for a week). Yes, you too can experience all the high-stress fun of directing passenger-laden planes without the guilt when you screw up. Digital planes colliding and raining debris for miles = guilty pleasure. Real planes colliding and raining debris for miles = massive lawsuit (and probably some guilt, but without the pleasure).

Covering a unique subject, Air Command 3.0 boasts an impressive array of features to bring the experience to life. Digitized pilot voices, along with possible communication errors between the pilots and the control tower, make for an authentic feeling experience. Weather, with real world Doppler radar precipitation patterns, can play a factor. Players direct both inbound and outbound flights at a variety of airports, with a built-in editor that allows players to create any type of airport they want. A scalable difficulty allows everyone from the "never been to an airport in real life" type to the "just retired from being a real air traffic controller" gamer to enjoy Air Command 3.0.
