Evaluation

Air Traffic: Greenlight launched on February 3, 2022 and has been continuously developed since by solo developer GyroX. Five major content updates have shipped: the Routes Update (September 21, 2022), the Key Mapping Update (October 29, 2022), the Approach Update (February 5, 2023), the Route-Route Update (April 6, 2023), the JSON Update (April 14, 2023), and the Heat Map Update (June 13, 2023). These were followed by a sustained stream of feature patches through 2025, the most recent being V2.14.6 Patch 6 on May 20, 2025. Most importantly, on April 3, 2025, the developer explicitly addressed questions about the game's future in a news post, confirming: "The answer is yes — I'm fully focused on the next update and have no plans for another game or DLC at the moment." This is a direct, unambiguous developer statement that a next major update is in active development. As of today (October 1, 2026), the last developer communication was on May 20, 2025 — approximately 16 months ago. The major content updates were clustered between September 2022 and June 2023, with no further major releases since June 2023. This suggests the gap between major updates can be long, and the developer's April 2025 statement explicitly acknowledged that the next update "will take time." Given that the developer confirmed active development as recently as April 2025 and pointed to a substantial upcoming update, the extended silence since May 2025 warrants some attention, but the developer's own explanation (the next update takes time to build) provides reasonable context and does not constitute a distress signal. There are no announced closures, funding issues, or other red flags.

About this game

Air Traffic: Greenlight is an air-traffic-control-themed game that challenges your spatial ability.
The goal is to organize and expedite the flow of air traffic and prevent collisions in areas with limited radar coverage.

Radar Contact

You can't see the aircraft beyond the radar range on the screen, but you can direct it. Choose to maintain radar identification for safety or use your mental picture of the traffic for efficiency.

Deploy a Radar

Along with the rise in reputation, additional radars will be unlocked. Depldeveloping your radar network, improving radar coverage to make flying safer.

Wind Conditions

An aircraft always land and takeoffs into the wind unless it's safe.
Wind direction and wind speed constantly change, limiting the runways that can be used to take off and land. So keep an eye on the forecast.

Terrain

All maps are built based on real-world elevation data.
Directing an aircraft to descend too early could lead to a tragedy.
Appreciate the nature of the terrain over which an aircraft is flying, especially in the mountain area.

Aircraft Types

A plane's performance depends on its aircraft type. All types have different takeoff and landing distances, approach speeds, and speed limits.

Fuel Emergency

If an aircraft has been held in the air too long, it will run out of fuel and fall. When an airport is too busy to handle all flights, diverting some arrivals to other airports can prevent it.

Runway Management

You can change the procedure of all runways, including assigning the initial and missed approach heading and altitude.

Replay

You can save, watch and share the replay of your game.

Navigation

Variant tools can help you to develop your traffic network:
  • Custom Waypoints
  • Holding Patterns
  • Routes
  • Departure Procedures
  • Arrival Procedures
