I'm able to pan the camera.

Cool, just sent them an email. Thanks, hexzed!

I've tried re-downloading RealTraffic from my old links since I just purchased KMEM, but I get "PASSWORD EXPIRED" when I click on all three of the download links. Thoughts?

I, too, tried installing KMEM just now. I installed to the desktop (it's what works for everything else and where everything else is located), but it won't show up in the Airfields Extension folder. I'm not smart enough for this... 😑 Edit: Okay, maybe I spoke too soon! Unlike all the other airfields that I installed (to the desktop, where the game is) that find their way magically to the Airfields folder, the MEM files were strewn about. There was no "KMEM" folder in the airfields extension folder either, so I created on and placed all the files in it...success! Now to redownload RT.

Or, keep them as-is for realism! 😁I saw all three of their liveries yesterday in Boston: Gray "digital," Blue/White/Red, and the Yellow taxi look. I was surprised to see the gray one for sure. I figured they'd all be painted by now. I still like that livery the best of theirs.

I had this same problem recently. I uninstalled, and reinstalled (to the desktop, as recommended in the email) and it works fine now.

Really cool you looked them up online and got a pic from the ground! Thanks for sharing.

That #5 would be a big plus. I've lost some points due to that one, but now I know to give a new hold short command once I let them continue. The next version of Tower should be a big improvement!

Agreed. Pete, sure, you're entitled to your own opinion! I think it's just how you're going about it - It's a bit abrasive. I'm sure you mean well, and no doubt lots of folks feel that way, but that kind of attitude doesn't really help the issue. 😉

Yes, all have N-numbers (if US registered), but not all have callsigns. Typically, it's airlines, charter companies, cargo operators, etc that use callsigns. As a private company, we go by our N-numbers, but we did look into callsigns a while back (not a requirement). Upon first contact with ATC, you're supposed to state your full N-number. Ex: Baron 123MC. After that, you can shorten it to "3MC." Off to bed, but holler if you need anymore clarification! 😉

True, except for the fact that aircraft, including N-registered numbers, can have callsigns.

That makes sense. I didn't realize that SimFlight was the owner, even though it's in the web address and name, haha. Thanks for looking into that, Ariel!

I think I'm right there with you guys on the age thing! Oh, to be 30 again....hahaha. I still have to get the Tracon series. I've played a lot of other ATC sims and love them. Tower 3D Pro is so unique as I've never found another sim that handles the ground control aspect, and I love it, especially having flown in and out of most of the US airports before. It's fun to see the other side of things.

Those are some great shots! Do you live near DFW then?

No, I don't. I'm usually so pissed off at the traffic for making me work hard that I just want to get rid of them ASAP, lol.

I can't say for certain that all of these planes go by the same call sign, but I do know a lot of them go by "Flight Check." They fly around the system and check/inspect instrument approach procedures, airports, facilities, etc. I went through International Procedures Training in Dallas last Fall and there were two guys in my class that did this. They were in a Challenger 601 most of the time, but they flew Lears in the past if I remember right. There are all kinds of aircraft types, however.

Exact routing I use. I have southbound planes hold at T first and northbound hold at S and then D before entering north complex.

Since LAX arrivals are usually slammed, I just let them land and taxi across. I've got a good system worked out now to where it's pretty simple.

Lmao love it!

No, I don't generally, but it's something I want to work on trying. I agree that some taxiways need a bit of revising.

Nice! I didn't know that, but makes a lot of sense. 😉

That's a good idea, sending them north and south like that. I may try that!

Try to move planes I'm order that they call for pushback? Or do you just get them moving and off the ground in any order? I was just curious what everyone does. I keep it all organized by the order they first call. I think it adds some realism to the game, and lets you get creative with taxi instructions and hold short instructions. One thing that I think would be great for the future would be EDCTs, miles-in-trail, and flow control/ground delay programs. That could really make the game tough!

Yeah, that sucks for realism. I just ignore the penalties for those, lol.

Awesome! Looking forward to this later!
