The FAA does not have the same level of marketing budget as the military, so dedicated games are less likely.
Comment on Great at gaming? US air traffic control wants you to apply

They went about this the wrong way. Get with a AAA studio or better yet an indie studio, build an Air Traffic Control game, and then recruit gamers. Sometimes you gotta Top Gun it.

I’m a pilot. I talk to atc all the time. You don’t want a call of duty oficianados and sweaty gamers. You want the kid that plays factoro who also micros farming sims on the side for fun. We have full functioning discords for flying sims already. Those guys are already working for atc. I want that rainman autistic with the verbal skills of an FM radio jockey. Its not an easy job, but fortnight ain’t the answer I can promise you that.

I’m an Avionics tech. Chances are I’ve repaired, modded or installed a lot of the systems you’re talking about, and I don’t disagree.
I definitely wasn’t talking about Fortnite when I made my comment.
