  1. Hi Hawk.  I recently started playing this sim again after a long pause.  I had issues with a/c not appearing so I went back to London Control for a while.  LC is great but voice rec is spotty at best.  I went back to this tracon sim after setting up my mic and training my voice.  Works great now.  Not sure exactly what it was, sorry.

  2. The commands should be the same for all sectors--as with the original sectors.  When the target gets to altitude, click on it to initiate handoff to center.  It flashes.   When it stops flashing, the target turns to a "C" and then you give it, "DLH 27, contact center on 120.80".  (for instance).

  3. Similar thing happened to me.  Make sure the departure is airborne or they are separated enough before they are both on the runway.  I agree, I don't think that should be a penalty and it doesn't allow maximum efficient use.  I mostly like the 25R (takeoff) 25L (landing) configuration, but it is nice to open the 19's when needed.  I suppose had you used 19R for landing it still would have dinged you?  

    Edit:  this has also happened to me at Philly when I had departures off of 27R at E and landings on 35.  You can't start the departures takeoff roll until the 35 lander is passed the runway.  

  4. Not sure if you mean this exactly, but my major gripe is landing ac that don't keep rolling to the taxiway.  They slow down way too much and a following ac at 4 or 5 miles may have to be given a "go around".  This can happen quite a bit at KLAS when I have arrivals coming to 25L.  I use A5 as the turnoff (closest one) but they taxi too slow.  

    Otherwise, I agree, this is a great sim that has gotten better.  Just a few issues with me.  

     

  5. My KLAX is SP2v2

    KPHL is SP4

    Edit:  Also, my older download passwords were also expired.  Email them here: orders@bmtmicro.com to get resolution.  They were very quick to get back to me. Thanks to CRBAScott for this link.

    Seem to prefer using 25R for departures and 25L for arrivals (they have actually just changed to 26R and L).  They also use occasionally 19L for departures and 19R for arrivals but the parallel 25s seem predominate.    

    Edit:  I like to use intersection takeoffs when appropriate.  An example is using runway 25R at A2.  Heavy a/c use full length.  I recently heard the RW controllers using 25R at B for takeoffs at KLAS.  

     

     

  7. I, basically, use real world runway configs as noted.  However, when slow I may bring an arrival in on 25R (or 19L although the 19's get used infrequently).  I've noticed that sometimes the arrivals may come in too close so I assign one the different parallel for spacing.  This shouldn't be a problem but the a/c tend to slow down too much after landing and are unable to keep a more realistic rollout so the one on short final may have to be given a go-around.  I dislike doing this--but......

    Using the parallels seems to work really well--as in RL.

    Thanks for this! Searched before I posted this myself, as an air carrier at my facility asked about an intersection departure so I was like "Huh I wonder if my game will do that." 

    It won't take correct phraseology of "C/S, Runway 28 at Foxtrot cleared for takeoff" But thats okay! 

    Once they get to the runway at the intersection, you don't have to say the intersection again.  Just say, "Nxxxx, Runway 28 cleared for takeoff". 

  9. Hey, good to hear.  It would be cool (but a programmers nightmare I'd guess) to be able to control one section--say the south side at LAX or ATL with the program handling the north side.  That way you could handle more in your area with activity still happening across the field. 

  10. Looks too big for a single controller--just my opinion. I prefer the smaller fields myself but I realize there are those passionate about ATL.  I would like to see something like DCA or FLL rather than these large fields.  Of course, you would get the chance to see an unbelievable variety of a/c and liveries so there is that.
