Does FlightGear have interactive cockpit?

FlightGear has the infrastructure to allow aircraft designers to build fully animated, fully operational, fully interactive 3d cockpits (which even update and display correctly from external chase plane views.)

Is there an ATC simulator?

The Ansart ATC simulator supports all functions of modern air traffic management systems, provides 2D/3D tower visualization of up to 360 degrees, and is suitable both for basic and advanced training in all control areas: en-route, approach, tower, and ground.

How realistic is FlightGear?

FlightGear's night sky features accurate placement and lighting of stars, planets, and the moon. Atmospheric light scattering features accurate lighting of the sky and terrain; in addition, oceans and rivers are realistically shaded with ripples and sun reflections.

Is ATC or pilot harder?

Piloting, especially on large, complex aircraft, is largely a matter of training and practice. Talent is required, of course, but mostly you just have to put your hours in. In that sense, training and qualifying to be an airline pilot is more rigorous than becoming an ATC at a busy facility.

Can a pilot overrule ATC?

Pilots aren't allowed to deviate from ATC orders unless one of three things occurs: the ATC provides an updated order, an emergency exists, or said deviation is in response to a flight warning system like traffic alert or collision avoidance.

Can ATC see my drone?
