[KSAN for Tower!3D Pro : wrong info]

Hey Vic -- I am having a problem with the KSAN add-on. Just purchased two days ago from FSPILOTSHOP. When I select KSAN, Tower! 3D Pro hangs at 99% loading. I have Real Traffic for 3D Pro (and Real Color Bundle) and it works fine for all those airports. Gabor thinks it is because the version I downloaded yesterday is an old version (KSAN for Tower! 3D, dated 12/6/2016). Can you see if there is a new version and if so, make sure FSPILOTSHOP has it, so I can redownload it?

Many thanks,

Peter

If this for arrival taxiing or departure taxiing?  For arrivals, I know at KLAX and KDFW that the Tower keeps control until the active runways are crossed. For example at KLAX on the South complex, most aircraft arrive on 25L and have to cross 25R to get to the gate. Tower maintains control until he/she allows the plane to cross 25R and then instructs the pilot to contact ground at that time.  

Is this 1, 2, 3 or a different scenario all together?

Departure. Yes, on Arrivals, you are correct that Tower maintains control until the active runways are crossed (Tower provides hold short or cleared across instructions). Thanks for the clarification!

[Suggestions and a MultiPlayer Question]

Hi:

If FeelThere is open to suggestions for the future for Tower! 3D Pro, how about, for the tower controller a "binoculars" mode which allows the user to zoom into a small area so one can see the aircraft. In my case, it is difficult to see the incoming a/c until a mile out or so on my 40" TV/Monitor running in 1920x1024 mode. I am relying on DBRITE for spacing.

Also, is there a site or mailing list for people interested in multi-player. I think it would be fun to do but don't know how to find users interested in that.

Many thanks,

Peter

RickyJ,

You are correct with your assumptions of the handover of aircraft between Ground & Tower controllers. But there are a few wrinkles around the world.

1. If an aircraft taxiing with Ground has to cross the active runway it should switch to Tower to request clearance to cross, then report runway vacated and switch back to Ground.

2. At some airports this frequency switch is negated by the aircraft staying on Ground, requesting clearance to cross, then Ground coordinates with Tower, approves the crossing, aircraft reports vacated, Ground informs Tower.

3. At a smaller number of airports permission is also required to cross inactive runways.

It has been a long time since I went to KSAN so I don't know if they use option 1 or option 2 for north side traffic.

IRL, in the US, option 2 is used. I am not aware of any airport that uses option 1.

[Tower! 3D to Pro Discount?]

Hi all: If I buy the non-Pro version today and later decide to upgrade to the Pro version, will I still get the $10 upgrade discount?

Many thanks,

Hi All: I am running Tower Pro on my Win7 machine, Radeon R9-270X is the graphics card. Am using a recycled 40" Toshiba LCD HDTV as a monitor. It is running in 1080P mode. For those who are using Radeon-based cards, what graphic settings (in the driver) are you using? I have tried any combination of anti-aliasing driver settings and still have a number of jagged lines esp. taxiway lines), things that are moving which are supposed to be static and general unsatisfactory viewing. While it is barely good enough to use the sim, I would like to see if there is a way to make it better. I tried uploading a file showing this but the max size here on the forum is too small for troubleshooting IMHO.

Thanks,

SK
