The vSTARS client has many of the features of its real world equivalent, such as: * Full-screen mode for enhanced realism. * On-screen simulation of hardware knobs and switches. * RDVS (Rapid Deployment Voice Switch) simulation. * CRDA (Converging Runway Display Aid) simulation, to [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ist with sequencing arrivals into converging runways. * MSAW (Minimum Safe Altitude Warning) simulation. * Conflict detection. * Full radar coverage volume simulation. * TPA (Terminal Proximity Alert) graphics, including J-Rings and TPA Cones. * Video Maps with adjustable brightness and separate map groups. * Top-down mode for VATSIM controllers covering Approach and Local positions. (Allows aircraft on the ground to be visible.) * Automatic tracking of departures. * CA suppression zones to prevent nuisance conflict alerts. * MSAW suppression zones to prevent nuisance low altitude alerts. vSTARS is a challenging and realistic tool designed mainly for VATSIM approach controllers.
