It would be useful to know what the advanced settings "Chromatic and Vignette" and "SSAO" do.

Thanks. Of course, PCAviator only has sp5v2 :(

What is the current version number of Real Traffic? Thanks!

Thanks Andrew -- will do!

I see Feel There has released live their BF sale. Lots of things for Tower 2011, Tracon 2012, but nothing that I saw for Tower! 3D Pro. Did I overlook something? See http://feelthere.com/category/cate_id:211/page:1 Have a great T-day everybody! SK

Here is more than you ever wanted to know about airport lighting: http://tfmlearning.faa.gov/Publications/atpubs/ATC/atc0304.html. I did a test with KLAX starting at 0300. Completely dark, switch does not work. Ditto for 0400. However at 0500 with morning twilight, the switch does work (I could turn off and on the lighting). Agreed about the intensity settings! Thanks for the explanation! SK

Why would you want to turn off the lighting at night? I think the assumption is that the previous controller had turned the lights on.

IRL ADIRS is only one color. I think the simulation needs to reflect real life as much as possible.

FYI -- LaGuardia was just released for Tower 3D and Pro. See http://feelthere.com/en/product/1234_klga-for-tower-3d.html ($18.99). Regards, Sk

No problem. It was I that started that thread at http://forum.simflight.com/topic/84223-klas-intersecting-runways/ Hope this helps!

There was a rather lengthy post on this subject (crossing runway alert) earlier which explained what is going on.

Thanks so much Vic for the update!!!

Okay -- unannounced project? Any hints?

If you can ping his IP, then it is a Tower problem. If not, the problem is on your network. Thanks for the cost info. Regards, P.

Are the two PCs on the same network/subnet? If not, I would assume you need to use the public IP (the 192.168s are private IPs). Port forwarding is a pain -- here are a few links that may (or may not help): https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=136711 https://portforward.com/linksys/ (BTW, this is an excellent site for issues) One more question -- can you successfully ping the other PC? And the pricing for Tower 3D Pro is $49.95, so how did you pay $150 for 2 copies? Just curious.... SK

It is the third post from the top in this forum. Search is your friend.

Thanks for the link. Will be reading it this weekend! Regards, SK

Hey Crbascott -- what date was that excerpt from? I have been doing a lot of research on this issue and it appears from various graphics I have found on the web on RL pilot's sites, there are a number of different interpretations of this. For instance, point 2 says "...A preceding arriving aircraft is clear of the landing runway, completed the landing roll..." There is IMO, a word missing between "landing runway" and "completed" because obviously one can't be clear of the landing runway without completing the landing roll. Perhaps the word "or" should be in there. That would support your interpretation. The AOPA Safety site has a number of graphics showing simultaneous departing and landing traffic being approved for intersecting runways without the landing roll complete (i.e. the landing aircraft is just touching down on their active runway). What may be happening is that there is FAA policy and then what happens in real life. Thanks for the excerpt and I would hate to have to code this logic.... Perhaps in the manual, this could be clarified (i.e. In the case of intersecting runways, clearance for a departure cannot be given until the Successful landing message has been shown). Are there any RL controllers on the forum that could provide some insight into this? Regards, SK

Be glad to. For some reason, rather than stopping for the active runway ONLY, there are two stops. It seems to me that once given taxi instructions, the a/c should only stop at the holding point immediately before any runway. This is exactly the same problem as noted in crbascott's post on this issue.

Not a problem. Will do!

Forgot the screenshot but here is the game.log. game.log

Just a quick question -- at KLAS I had a departure on 25R and an arrival on 19L. Told the 19L arrival to hold short of intersecting runway 25R for crossing traffic. The 19L arrival acknowledged that. So when 25R a/c started rolling and 19L landed, I got a -500 point deduction for runway incursion. So my question is how does one treat intersecting runways so you can take advantage of two runways? Game log attached (see 08:13:12 in the log). Thx SK game.log

I'd be happy to post them there and provide the link if that helps. In the meantime I have posted them on my Dropbox account -- if that is a problem let me know and I will take them down. The link is https://www.dropbox.com/s/j9vq6tt6e8omwq8/LAX Changes.zip?dl=0 BTW, this has the 9/27 modification in it.

Hi Vic -- what do you mean by this?
