How it works

This 2D companion runs the same scripted flight-phase state machine as the 3D control-tower model, viewed from directly above instead of a rotatable 3D scene: every aircraft moves through approach → touchdown → rollout → taxi-in → parked → pushback → taxi-out → line-up → takeoff roll → climb, following the identical waypoint geometry (same runway, taxiway and gate coordinates), just drawn as a flat diagram.

Traffic Level — caps how many aircraft can be active at once and how often a new one spawns (low/medium/high), same as the 3D model.
Weather — clear/cloudy/rain/fog; rain and fog slow every aircraft and vehicle down (0.85x / 0.7x) and change the sky tint.
Total Flights — how many arrival→departure cycles run before the simulation stops spawning new aircraft.
Sim Speed — a 0.25x–3x time multiplier applied to every moving object.
View — Overview fits the whole airfield; Tower View zooms in near the control tower and apron; Follow Aircraft pans and zooms onto the nearest aircraft that isn't parked.

Each aircraft that reaches its gate triggers a fuel truck and a baggage cart from their depots, plus deplaning and boarding passengers walking the jet bridge — and, corrected here versus the 3D source (whose vehicle pool builds pushback tugs that are never dispatched), a pushback tug actually drives out to the gate and tows the aircraft off the stand before departure, matching the "Pushback Tug" legend entry.
