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.

Thank you Craig, we verified it, unfortunately a bug. We are working on an SP now, it will be part of the fixes.

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

Vic, could this be an option for later to let players control winds direction or direction and speed?

+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!

The arrow is facing the correct direction as it shows the direction that the wind is moving. The issue is airplanes need to fly into the wind when taking off and landing. Most commercial weather displays either use a dot or the arrow points inward. Here is an example wind at 266 degrees:
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.

Its definently 180 out but we know it and can live with it
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.

I still maintain that the arrow is 180 degrees out.
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.

It's on our radar, thank you.
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

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!

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?

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!

AS far as I remember LAX needs a 15 degree separation on parallel departures
Is this documented anyplace?

And don't forget the runway renumbering. :)

Switching from Tower3d to Tower3D pro

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