For VATSIM controllers · any radar client
ATC Deck
Your traffic picture on your Stream Deck. Arrivals by ETA, departures waiting, who's above and around you, events at your field and a break timer, at a glance.
Keys
What's coming, at a glance
Put your next arrivals across the top row and your departures, or the rest of your field, along the bottom.
Inbound
The next arrivals to your airfield, one per key, with callsign, type and minutes out. Amber under 10 minutes, red under 5.
Departures
A summary of who's waiting, or one departure per key, longest wait first. No flight plan in amber, prefiles in blue.
Above You
Who covers you top-down, with their frequency. Grey when nobody's above you. Press to copy it.
Event
A countdown to the next VATSIM event at your airfields, then LIVE while it runs.
On Position
Time since you logged on, with a break reminder. Press to reset after a hand-over.
Flags
Pilots to check: on the ground with no flight plan, or squawking something other than their assigned code.

Works with what you use
Traffic here, audio there
ATC Deck reads the public VATSIM data feed, so it works next to EuroScope, vatSys or CRC and never touches your audio.
For frequencies, push-to-talk and ATIS, use it alongside Neil Enns' free TrackAudio and vATIS Stream Deck plugins.
Stream Deck + layout
Or Departure 1st–4th on the bottom row, to mirror the arrivals. The four dials go left to right underneath.
Setup
- Double-click the plugin file to install it.
- Drag Inbound onto four keys and set each to 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th.
- Add Departures, Above You, Event and On Position, and the four list actions on the dials.
- In any key's settings, enter your VATSIM CID. On a centre position, or to watch a field without logging on, list your airfields too.
- Log on. The keys find your position and airfield automatically.

Good to know
Current limits
How accurate are the ETAs?
They're straight-line distance divided by ground speed, so treat them as a guide to who's next rather than an expected approach time.
Can it see which aircraft I've tagged?
No. ATC Deck only uses public VATSIM network data, so it can't see tags or assumed aircraft in your radar client.
I'm on a centre position and nothing shows
Centre callsigns don't contain an airfield, so add the airfields you want to watch (for example "EGFF EGGD") in any key's settings.
