The upgrade policy has been discussed several times here on the forum. Sounds like a reason not to use Steam.

Well, obviously you don't read other posts. There are a number of posts on replacement schedules and some have even posted them for your download. Also, the issue of ground movement problems in Pro has been acknowledged and they are working on a hotfix for it. I have not used the non-Pro version (or belong to Steam) so I can't comment on that. I purposely did not buy the non-Pro version since I didn't think the viewing angle was realistic (I am a Private Pilot in RL).

Well, this isn't a "game" but a simulation. Simulations do not have "gameplay". It is supposed to model real life work in a Control Tower. And with the exception of the bug that was introduced in the last update (which FT is about to issue a hotfix for), it does that quite well. Perhaps you would be more interested in a true game rather than a simulation.

Assuming you have installed to the correct folders, you also need Real Color (for each add-on airport) to see the liveries.

Please don't forget about the red center light problem for the SP.

+1.

Thanks all.

Hi all: Something I have wondered about is it possible to know the wind direction at the initial startup screen when one picks runways? And is the wind randomly generated or based on actual winds? Thanks! SK

Yes, in RL I am an ASEL and am very familiar with wind displays. Please note that your picture corroborates our complaint -- the numeric is 266 degrees and SO IS THE ARROW. In the program, they are 180 degrees apart.

Perhaps you can. I think it is strange that for all this time, an easy coding fix could not be done -- shouldn't be hard to do. Please don't speak for others.

Me too.

But those screen shots are not what KPHX looks like. They are solid red for the length of the runway as correctly shown in Joe's screen shots.

That is 2/3s of a pun :) Happy New Year!

Here is a good reference on centerline lighting -- https://www.thebalance.com/airport-runway-lighting-explained-282727 or http://tfmlearning.fly.faa.gov/publications/atpubs/aim/Chap2/aim0201.html

At KTUS, first arrival: SWA3344 B737 Denver Intl (KDEN) Sun 11:40PM MST Mon 01:08AM MST first departure: SWA1931 B737 McCarran Intl (KLAS) Mon 05:47AM MST Mon 05:45AM PST Mon 05:45AM PST

Perhaps a series of "turn to" headings? Or try "Callsign, Enter left pattern runway 9"? IRL, at KSAN there is the occasional Go Around due to the single runway. Plane spotting there is fun seeing how squeezed traffic can be there....

Hi Joe: Thanks so much for doing this. I think your link above needs to be edited to show 12-15-17 rather than 9-7-17. Happy New Year! SK

Radar contact at that stage is not an FAA (or probably ICAO) approved phaseology, unless perhaps arriving from a non-radar environment (which there are none in Tower).

Just out of curiosity, what airlines are in this Real Color package that aren't in the others?

Attached is a list of commands and syntax that you might find useful. This is NOT my work and was downloaded earlier from this forum. Hope this helps! SK

I have Win 7 Pro and "taxi via " works fine. I would do a game.log and see if there are any errors in it when you give that command. Or post it here for the devs to look at.

Good news -- sp6v3 is now on the BMT site, just downloaded it!

FYI -- KPHX for Tower!3D and Tower!3D Pro just released (just got the announcement in email). Update: Just installed it and only had default airlines. No schedule.txt, etc. I think there needs to be an update to Real Traffic for this?? Happy Holidays!

Is this documented anyplace?

Thanks! Also http://forum.simflight.com/topic/84118-tower3d-pro-action-camera-not-working-at-klas/?tab=comments#comment-509008 SK
