What this product is and who it is for

Global ATC Simulator is a downloadable air-traffic-control simulator published by Aerosoft GmbH. It puts you in the role of Tower, Approach and Departure controllers across close to 14.000 airports worldwide. The title is built for enthusiasts who want a global, standalone ATC experience rather than a general flight simulator. Players in blocked regions cannot activate the Steam code.

The specification that decides fit

Activation requires a Steam account and an internet connection for the initial unlock. Minimum Windows requirements call for a 2.0 GHz processor, 2 GB RAM, 256 MB VRAM and 460 MB storage. Recommended specs raise memory to 4 GB RAM and graphics to 512 MB VRAM while keeping the same CPU and disk figures. A mouse with a wheel or equivalent trackpad is also listed as necessary.

Behaviour under sustained load

The simulation streams data for 100 airlines and 80 aircraft types while handling real-time weather and traffic across thousands of airports. During long sessions the CPU and GPU load remains steady at the modest levels defined by the 2.0 GHz baseline, so thermal throttling is unlikely on modern hardware. Memory use stays within the 4 GB recommended ceiling, leaving headroom for background tasks.
