Airwave Blog
Airwave is an ATC (Air Traffic Control) simulator based on real-world units and commands.
blog.airwavegame.com
Airwave is an Air Traffic Control (ATC) game that I've been building over the past few months. It utilizes an LLM and a STT model to allow for realistic interactions with the aircraft in your airspace.
I've started a blog to document the process, features, and solutions.

Say hello to Stripboard v3! We have rebuilt the stripboard (and frequency selector) from the ground up to provide a customizable and interactive experience. You can now add, remove, rename, and drag strips around (like IRL boards)!

Any Rust + Windows experts out there to give us a hand? We'd love for Airwave to work on Windows but we're having trouble getting into build and would appreciate some help from the experts!

Just your friendly neighborhood dev posting a blog post after 5 months of silence. Totally normal. Everything to see here!
After months of silence, we come back: with two new dropdowns. Yeah, it's a whole thing. Problems will always keep you thinking until you finally crack them.
We finally solved the issue that was keeping us from moving forward with Airwave.

Thanks to dialing *#0*#, I can view my heart rate on my Samsung for free without ads. Fucking all the other apps contain ads, signups, and subscriptions. Why? It's a sensor local to my device. The algorithms are simple and well known. Your development cost should be one and done, no need for ads.

Any good resources on YouTube or otherwise for gaining more experience with mixing? I write music digitally with Ableton. I'm good with getting ideas down, but not refining their sound and getting it to mix well.
Anyone have any recommendations?

Wow, Sora is *great*. We're stuck in the CGI era of 2000s...

Does Bluesky crash when viewing videos for anyone else? I have been able to watch any videos while on my phone. Click a video, app closes immediately.
Maybe a soft reminder to do something else 🙃

I've never felt energized or awake on caffeine. Instead, I feel nervous, then jittery, then like I'm gonna die. Like right now. Thanks tea with caffeine, my ADD is now ADHD.

Sorry for the silence recently. We added and tested flight planning to the upcoming release of Airwave recently, but found it might make gameplay worse. Gamifying our existing simulator proves to be difficult and will take a long time to get right.

Been playing Flightgear recently. It's basically MSFS but open source. The graphics aren't the best, but it runs well and has great realism.
I wish MSFS would focus on optimization so it doesn't run at 15 FPS on a 4070 but I'm fine with using Flightgear as the alternative. Really, it's great.

I hate when social media companies force you to sign in. I just want to view *one post*. Just *one product update* to find out why a game disappeared.

We've recently upgraded logic for air and ground in Airwave, creating a more intuitive behavior when landing or taxiing. Our goal has always been realism, and this is another step towards that!
