I personally think that after an hour or 2 it gets boring controlling, I think a few features that could be added to spice up the gameplay are missed approaches, aircraft inside you sector when you start(specifically for app sectors), Missed approaches, emergencies, you could make it so that they can be enabled or disabled at the players discretion.

"I personally think that after an hour or 2 it gets boring controlling"... you could always increase the rate or change runways or alter the weather, work sectors as elementary and then collapse them, add your own flight plans, for example introduce some RR or 2L flight plans just to have traffic getting in the way of your normal flows... "I think a few features that could be added to spice up the gameplay are missed approaches"... missed approaches are built into the sim, it all depends on how good your controlling is as to whether MAPs occur. "aircraft inside you sector when you start(specifically for app sectors)"... you can specify a run up time to generate traffic already in the sector when you start controlling, "emergencies"... this has been considered in the past but the variables and the amount of re-coding required would render it inordinate.

I’m with Graham on this. You can easily spice things up by increasing the flow rate. Doesn’t take much to put you out of your comfort zone. Most controllers only work a handful of sectors due to the complexity and diversity of the traffic in those sectors. They know that airspace inside out.

This is a simulator of that environment.
