ASDE-X™ provides a topnotch, top-down view of select airports when acting as the controller using the air traffic tower position in Microsoft® Flight Simulator X (FSX). This addon was inspired by real-world ASDE-X equipment used at 30+ select airports in the United States. ASDE-X equipment is used in support of the NEXTGEN directive of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). ASDE-X™ is a unique addon for FSX that can only be found here.

Suggested Software:
Visit FSDREAMTEAM for beautifully rendered airport addons that provide with some exquisite airport layouts. FS Dreamteam airports were used to create the preview images below. Use of other addon airports is perfectly acceptable. I just happen to like the quality of FS Dream Team products.
AI Traffic
For some very advanced AI traffic generation, I recommend MyTrafficX. This is a great AI traffic generator for FSX, and was used exclusively with the ASDE-X™ preview images below. You can purchase MyTrafficX Professional here. |
