  5. REQUEST FROM THE DEVS

    in ATC Simulators

    Posted

    Hey Vic, this is very good news.

    Might I make a suggestion?  Make sub-forums, Separate the games into their own sub-forums:

    FeelThere Support Forums -> ATC Simulators -> Tower!2011
    FeelThere Support Forums -> ATC Simulators -> Tower!3D
    FeelThere Support Forums -> ATC Simulators -> Tracon!2012

     

    This would help declutter the thread, and if someone forgets to tag their post, it can be easily categorized.

    Then in there you can create further sub-forums... Technical Assistance, Real Colour issues, Real Traffic issues, General Discussion, etc

     

     

    Thanks

    Jim D.

     

  6. Reference Cards -- Commands & Airport Specific

    Yes, I agree.

    Hey FeelThere, can you make the next version without the 3D view and Nyerges can stop making the color planes?  You can call it Tower!NoView. This seems to be getting popular.  A couple people want to just see data tags.

    Allow me to justify my statement.  I do really enjoy the real life liveries, and seeing the planes taxi and such.  But let's be honest... unless the aircraft is DIRECTLY in front of the tower, you can barely see it at all, if it's far enough away it look nothing more than a bare white plane, so the Real Colours add-on is useless.  If Cinematic view could be the permanent view from all angles, then that would be another story altogether.

     

    On another note, if we are going for realism... it is not totally uncommon for a Flight Controller to have absolutely no visibility of the outside.  Often a control tower will have 2 or 3 levels to it, and only the upper most level has windows.

    A good controller doesn't need to see 'liveries' on a plane.  A data tag and a sense of location and anything is possible.  If you're controlling based on finding a color on an airfield, then you're wasting time when today's technology will do it all

    I couldn't agree with you more... I wish there was a way to disable to runway view altogether, I play with the 3 HUDs up and expand them to pretty much cover the entire monitor.

  9. Tower3D; Duplicate IATAs in Airlines file

    in ATC Simulators

    Posted

    13 hours ago, AC Rogue said:

    Just thought I would mention that in addition to duplicates there are errors in the airline file as well

    Wrong callsigns example for KSAN

    ROU RV AIR CANADA, AIR CANADA ROUGE, CANADA

    as you can see the callsign listed for Air Canada Rouge is Air Canada when it is actually Rouge so it should read

    ROU RV ROUGE, AIR CANADA ROUGE, CANADA

    there are also airlines that either don't exist any more or go by a new name now.

    happy fixing :)

    Dev

    I may be wrong but I think this is done for a game mechanics perspective, so that you can simply tell a Rouge flight to Follow Company with a regular Air Canada flight.

  10. Traffic Schedule -- Need Assistance

    in ATC Simulators

    Posted

    The problem is with the klax_terminal.txt file, using those 5 specified above, there are no terminals related to:
    ABX, GB, ABEX AIR, Airborne Express
    CKS, K4, CONNIE, Kalitta Air

    Therefore there is nowhere for them to go to when spawning for takeoff, or direct to when landing.

    To fix all of these issues at all airports, I've selected 1 terminal and made it a default catch-all terminal by removing any reference to all airlines (much like at TIST).  This is what my terminal file looks like for LAX.

    Terminal_GA: GA
    Terminal_1: NAC,FDX,UPS
    Terminal_2: EIN,AMX,SLI,ACA,AVA,CHH,HAL,AIJ,LRC,QTR,SCX,TAI,TCX,VIR,VOI,WJA
    Terminal_3: AAY,BTQ,FFT,JBU,NKS,VRD
    Terminal_TBIT: AFL,BER,CCA,AFR,ANZ,AZA,ANA,AAR,BAW,CPA,CAL,CES,CSN,CMP,ELY,UAE,ETH,ETD,EVE,FJI,IBE,JAL,KLM,KAL,LAN,LPE,DLH,NAX,PAL,QFA,SAS,SWR,VOZ,WOW
    Terminal_4: AAL,SWA
    Terminal_5: DAL
    Terminal_6: ASA,QXE,GLA,BUG,UAL
    Terminal_7: 
    Terminal_8: CPZ,MEO,SKW,ASH,UAL

    Terminal 7 is the said catch-all.

  12. Recommended update/DLC procedure for Tower3D Pro?

    I don't have the original download link anymore. My email that i purchased Real Traffic with says the download link expires in 7 days, and now when I to the download link it says its invalid or expired.

    This should definitely be easier.. IDK why there isn't a public update link, where i can just go to download the update straight.

    If you're reading the email that says it will expire on X date, then THAT is your original download link.  You should have your authentication code in there as well.

    It's still valid for 7 days, so you should be good to go.

    Likely you didn't purchase it from us as we don't expire the link after 7 days...
    We can't make it any simpler than this; just re-download it. 

     

    Vic

     

    Just to clarify, he said in 7 days, that doesn't mean he bought it yesterday.  The download links DO have an expiration date on them though.

    From the email I received after buying KJFK Color on August 29th
    "The above password information expires on Sunday, February 25, 2018. Please make sure that you download the product(s) before this date."

  15. Tower3D; Duplicate IATAs in Airlines file

    I'm not sure if this was done on purpose, but I thought I would let you know I found duplicate IATAs in the KLAS Airlines file.  Just wanted to bring it to your attention in case it could potentially cause conflicts.

  16. TOWER!3D: Missing flights from PHL (and maybe other airports)

    Question:
    How does one go about downloading RT SP5? I went to the website and the only option I can find is to purchase the RT package again. What am I missing? This is the first time since I've purchased anything that a new SP has come out.

    Ken

    Hopefully you saved the emails you received when you first bought RT.  Find the one that had the download link and authentication code.  Click on the link again, it will download the newest version.

  19. What are the proper Go Around commands

    in ATC Simulators

    Posted

    What I've done and works thus far, after saying GO AROUND

    1)  "Aircraft" TURN LEFT/RIGHT HEADING [X]  (I try to turn the craft so that it's 90 degrees from the runway, this can be done before or after the runway, as needed)

    2)  "Aircraft" ENTER FINAL RUNWAY [X]  (The aircraft will automatically re-route to the beginning of the approach vector)

    From here you just have to wait for the plane to be lined up with the runway and issue landing instructions as usual.

  21. TOWER!3D: Missing flights from PHL (and maybe other airports)

    in ATC Simulators

    Posted · Edited by blipadouzi

    First I'd like to say that I am fairly new to the community, I only received the game 2 or 3 days ago and am still getting acquainted with the forums.  If any upcoming features, fixes or timelines have been announced, I did not read them anywhere.

    I recently bought Real Traffic and Real Colors (vanilla airports) and wanted to add a few airlines to the TIST airport.  I looked at the txt files, figured out how they were coded, and added Air Canada to TIST as a test.  Everything went well, and I now have Air Canada flying out of TIST.

    I then read the schedule for KPHL curious of the times Fed Ex planes arrived/departed so I could play the game at those times.  Unfortunately after several attempts, Fed Ex never showed up.  I discovered that Fed Ex was missing from the terminal.txt file, added them manual and that fixed the issue.

    All that to say, that if you were not aware, Fed Ex (and possibly other liveries) are not landing/departing from PHL (maybe other airports as well).  There were a couple of other things that I fixed, like adding a general terminal (blank airlines like at TIST) and adding GA flights to the bigger airports that were missing them... but I feel that was done intentionally.

     

    Thank you
