Thank you to all who took the survey. For those interested, the results and comments / suggestions received so far can be seen here: www.climbingstair...wix.com/atc-sim Al.

You make a valid point regarding realism versus the creative aspect. However, the reasoning behind the survey is not only to find out if there is an interest but also to get opinion regarding the balance between realism and game-play such as career mode, arcade mode etc. I accept your point that it may not be the most creative of genre but at the end of the day it is a game, no matter how "real" you make it. We were advised that it is often good to design for a niche market and also to propose something that you are personally interested in - as you will spend six months living with it. That is where my proposal came from, With regard to demand, my goal was simply to show the college that there is a community out there interested in this type of game, and that my proposal isn't completely off the wall. Thanks for your comments :smile: Al.

Thank you to all those who have taken my survey. Please keep them coming - only 17 response so far, I really need to prove an interest in this project. Thanks, Al.

Thanks for taking the survey, I appreciate it!

If this goes ahead, it will be a learning experience for me so I intend to distrubute my completed project as a free APP. If it is received well.... well maybe I might look at developing it further. But for the moment it is a college project, and will be free.

Hi, I'm heading into the final months of a degree in game design and have proposed an ATC Sim for Tablets as my final project. My lectureres are not very familiar with the flightsim genre of gaming and are unsure of the existance of enough enthusiasts to generate demand for such a sim and therefore doubt the project has merit. I understand their concerns, it is after all a degree in "Game" design and sims by their very nature tend to be more realism based. They are however open to convincing, and this is where you come in to play. I would VERY much appreciate if you would take this short (5 question survey) http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/G5NJN38 If I get enough responses I can go to them with some evidence of a community that would be responsive to this project and also the balance required between gaming and realism. If I get the go ahead, I will release the finished project to the community in about six months. If I don't get the go ahead, I will hopefully develop it anyway, but at a later date. Thank you in advance for your help, Al.
