London Control simulates airspace control, not ground control, so the answer to your first question is no.
As to your second question, we have worked month on month continuously since June 2023 to maintain the simulator in the most up to date fashion possible. The next release is 2506, which includes all updates since June 2023 and onwards.
A lot of work goes into maintaining the simulator alongside all three of us having full-time vocations away from London Control.
We have kept the price as low as we possibly can given that we have to pay fees to PayPal and the banks.
When we took over London Control in January 2024, we calculated that if we had kept the price in line with increases in the commercial sector, it would by now cost somewhere in the region of £90.
The price is already extremely competitive for the type of product it is, so there are no concessionary rates, sorry.
We hope this won't deter you from subscribing, given that you would be getting all updates since June 2023 and all continuing updates until the end of 2025.
Regards,
Graham
