Avwriter Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Very much enjoying KJFK along with the default airports, but am still eager to hear something about this upcoming addon. How is it coming along? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDDF, EGLL, or EHAM would be fantastic. I asked about KATL because it was already announced earlier that this is to be the next airport after KJFK.

Avwriter Posted October 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Well, since Vic is not biting today, here is a teaser of my own. Ride along as someone flies a Cessna 172 into KATL from nearby KPDK. Looked like quite a ride, especially with that MD-11 landing just behind them. There is also a gorgeous sunset departure as well. Enjoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do tell me at least that KATL is not too far over the horizon? Any likelihood that it will be out before T3DPro is released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelThere_Vic Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 The next one is going to be a smaller airport but it still has a scheduled B777 flight. If everything goes as planned it will be released sooner than Pro's release, however we are testing it with pro as well since it has a feature that will be supported by Pro :) I certainly hope that I was as confusing as possible :) Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikced76 Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Might one of those feature be T&G support given its a small airport with GA traffic ;) Anyway, personally I like that next airport it will be a smaller one. To me is just feels more realistic when you are just one controller doing ground as well as Tower control. Doubt that ever happends in real life at KATL or KORD or EDDF for that matter :) Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelThere_Vic Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Let me give you another hint; T!3DP will have a support for displaced threshold... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt that ever happends in real life at KATL or KORD or EDDF for that matter :) Mike To be fair, it actually does happen, but only at times when the traffic is lighter. I have often tuned into the Tower freq at KATL late in the evening, when the cargo haulers get moving, and find the same controller handling both Tower and Ground positions. Even at such a light time, being in charge of the whole field at once must be kind of a kick. Personally speaking, I feel that one of the most enjoyable aspects of simulators like this, is that you can try a challenge that would be unlikely in the real world. IRL, and under ideal conditions, a controller's job is not supposed to be exciting, and can actually be rather boring at times if nothing is going wrong, and if you are not overwhelmed by heavy traffic. But of course IRL, the whole goal IS for nothing to go wrong. THe controller is not there for the purpose of having fun. The same is true of being an airline pilot. Not many people will want to play a game that simulates a mundane activity without any problems. Has anyone ever heard of a mail room simulator, or a lawn cutting simulator? And so they add some challenge to it, but letting you handle the whole field at once, or letting you do both the Captain's and First Officer's job simultaneously just to see if you can handle it. After all, even when real pilots train in simulators, they do not spend hours and hours sitting there with the autopilot on in good weather. Instead, most of the time is spent simulating various problems and challenging situations, be it weather, mechanical problems, or difficult approaches.

mikced76 Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 So in the best of worlds we have major airports like KATL as well as smaller ones like KSNA or Key West (like for Tower 2011). Should satisfy every simulator ATC nerd out there ;) Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
