VATSIM has issued the following release regarding VAT-Spy 1.0:
VATSIM is pleased to announce the release of VAT-Spy, a traffic and ATC viewer application exclusively for the VATSIM network. VAT-Spy was developed by Ross Carlson, author of VRC (Virtual Radar Client), an ATC radar simulator for VATSIM.
VAT-Spy was closely modeled after ServInfo, a popular traffic and ATC viewer for multiple online flying networks. VAT-Spy’s feature set includes a few new items such as:
- Smooth panning and zooming on the world map.
- Most fonts and colors on the map are customizable.
- Multi-threaded for high performance and responsive interface.
- Map bookmarks allow you to save favorite views of the map.
In general, the goal for VAT-Spy was to mimic the primary functionality of ServInfo, while providing a more responsive user interface through the use of multi-threading, as well as smooth panning and zooming on the world map.
VAT-Spy is a Windows desktop application built on the Microsoft .NET Framework. To learn more about VAT-Spy, see some screenshots, and to download the application, visit the VAT-Spy
