Release 3.2

Submitted to Apple 22nd August 2026 (build 261). In review now; this page is updated the day it is released.

The relay release. Hand a shift to the next controller, climb the Gauntlet at Pittsburgh, keep your ratings on one sheet. The biggest update since The Watch.

• Relay shifts: hand an Endless shift to another player, or pick up theirs.
• The Gauntlet at Pittsburgh (KPIT): ten rungs, an Examiner Strip, a Certified Controller badge.
• The Sheet: your facility ratings record on one page.
• Real departure gates and 120 NM worlds for live traffic.
• The standing offer and a clearer tower home.

🔁 Relay shifts

Hand your shift to the next controller. Every aircraft, every clearance and the weather go with it, and the shift returns to the board when they are done. The relay board shows who is on duty and what is waiting. Start from any Endless session: the results screen offers Hand Over.

🏁 The Gauntlet at Pittsburgh

Ten rungs on a four-runway field, each with a pass mark and a separation budget. The Examiner Strip keeps score in the corner, a failed rung can be retried, and the tenth rung makes you a Certified Controller. Pittsburgh is only playable through the Gauntlet.

📋 The Sheet

Your facility ratings record: every airport, every difficulty, one page, in your language. Find it in the chip row at the top of the tower home.

📡 Live traffic, grown up

Real departure gates with real navdata in New York, London, Atlanta and Paris, and the New York and London worlds now reach 120 NM.

🎟️ The standing offer

Three premium shifts a day, one live shift a day and four airports that are always open, shown on the tower home as a standing state instead of a wall.

🏠 A clearer tower home

One obvious next step whether you are new or certified, with the Logbook, Awards, the Sheet and Relay one tap away.

🎧 On frequency

Storm cells report their tops and movement, Cancel Clearance takes a clearance back, and the readback ticker shows what the pilots heard.

🚁 Search and rescue

The search area is drawn on the radar, and a thunderstorm can no longer be born inside it.

⚖️ Fair scoring

Nothing moves after the final whistle, an expired emergency counts against you as it should, and traffic patterns survive a saved game.
