It is your job, as an air traffic controller, to read it and +respond to it as necessary. + +To tell a pilot to do something, you have to issue a command. All commands +have the same basic syntax: + + AIRCRAFT ID: COMMAND params... + +At this time, the only aircraft ID supported is the flight number. + +NOTE: Unfortunately, the command enterting facility is very rudimentary and +you must follow the syntax closely, or risk crashing the game. + +The following commands are supported: + +1) ALT => Change altitude + + This command has one parameter: the altitude the aircraft should + climb/decent to. + +2) HEAD => Change heading + + This command has one parameter: the new heading. + + NOTE: This command WILL change in future to allow turning right or + left to specified heading. + +3) SQUAWK => Change squawk code + + This command has one parameter: the new squawk code, a 4 digit octal + number (digits 0-7 only) + +Here's a little example...Say there is an aircraft (Delta 79) that has +heading 270 at 4000, and we want it to decend to 2500 and turn to heading 220. +The two commands we would issue are: + +DELTA 79: ALT 2500 +DELTA 79: HEAD 220 + +For ease of use, pressing either ';' or ':' will produce ': '. + +NOTE: It is imperative that you include exactly one space between the "DELTA" and "79", ":" and "HEAD"/"ALT", and "HEAD"/"ALT" and "2500"/"220". +
