About this app

VatView is a mobile app for Android that allows flight simulation enthusiasts to track ATC presence and flight information on the VATSIM network.

VatView aims to be your ultimate VATSIM companion! It provides easy access to active VATSIM terminal area ATC stations and frequencies and exposes the ATIS message easily. It also shows enroute ATC, including marking land, oceanic, UIR and FSS VATSIM controlled areas on the map.

VatView features three main views:
- a map displaying all pilots and air traffic controllers currently connected to the VATSIM network.
- A filterable and searchable list page - displaying a detailed list of all connected pilots and ATC.
- An airport search page - which concentrates all connected ATC, active flights and prefiled flight plans for a specific airport.

VATSIM (short for the Virtual Air Traffic Simulation Network) is a completely free online platform that allows Flight simulator enthusiasts connect and fly virtually on one shared virtual aviation eco system. It simulates Air Traffic Control (ATC) with full voice and network connection between virtual pilots flight on flight simulator software and virtual air traffic controllers using software for providing ATC services. It is as real as it gets.
It supports Microsoft's Flight simulator (MSFS, FSX and FS9), P3D and X-Plane.

Works as advertised so far. I'd love to see maybe an option to use a different map or add more detail to to current one. I'm currently unable to see any city names unless I zoom in almost completely. Another good feature would be to allow users to track their callsign, and perhaps save a default airport. Kudos on the good work thus far!

Love it. does the job that is advertised. Feature request: memorize vatsim id, and ATC alert when user airplane gets into staffed airspace or the airspace becomes staffed. Would also be nice if we click something on the list, it shows the location and route on the map. Navidata integration showing the route in flight plans can also be exciting.

Thanks for the feedback. I am looking into these features already, ita not sure they area feasible in a free app.

Lots of ways to search for flights and control positions. I'd love to see formatting of arrivals to the point where the ETA at destination is shown (all I see is "ETA 20:..."). As a controller, it would be interesting to be able to get an alert when an airport you want to work has a given number of arrivals over a given time span so I could know to get online before they get there and provide them with a service. I want to watch this app develop.
