Didnt seem to ignore them to me. Some took longer to turn than others, but thats normal. A heavy turns a lot slower than a small.
did you go through all the levels or just the first one btw? ;)
I had one of two that would get to a point that they'd stop responding to commands.
The first one, i was in the middle of trying to obtain some Seahawk playoff tickets so i wasnt really to enthuastic about it at the moment. Ill check it out again.

Once of the most unique features with ATCsimulatorŽ2 is the ability to control LIVE TRAFFIC!! That's right, using Flight ExplorerŽ in conjunction with ATCsimulatorŽ2, you will truely experience what its like to work at some of the busiest approach control facilities in the world. This feature alone sets ATCsimulatorŽ2 apart from any other air traffic simulation. By running Flight ExplorerŽ in the background, and then starting ATCsimulatorŽ2, you can choose to have the LIVE TRAFFIC!! fed straight to the simulator, providing you with the most realistic, heart-pounding experience! Click here for more information about Flight ExplorerŽ and any special offer for ATCsimulatorŽ2 customers.
woow, it allows you to control the live traffic. imagine 2 different players controlling the same traffic :)
or some guy who just left his pc to get some snacks :D
(i think they didn't mean that litterally, but hey, it's what's written on the site :D)

I haven't done it much, but if you find a decent server in Flightsim with someone working the tower, it can be a great educational aid. Some of the servers are passworded, which would imply that some folks are pursuing some quality control. I can see this being a great boon for student pilots, wannabes, and even experienced folks who'd like to brush up.
The best one I've seen so far (open, that is), was set at Wittman, and a young lady was working the tower. Aside from the occasional jerk who'd log in and bounce around the active runway (with his crash effects off... so he didn't disappear when he hit the ground), it worked really well. You can also share aircraft, and I was invited into another guy's plane to show him how to land without cracking up. I felt pretty honored, though it was odd since he had all his settings set to 'easy'. The gal in the tower wouldn't hesitate to let us know when we missed a call, so I figured a controlled server with some serious folks who really wanted to do well would be a very very good thing. I haven't tried the ATC function yet, but I will soon, and I'll let ya know what I think (not that I've ever worked a tower...)
