[Tower3D; Duplicate IATAs in Airlines file]

4 hours ago, blipadouzi -- Jim D. said:

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.

That would only matter if they were both used in the schedule for the same airport, and by just doing a quick check I didn't find one that had both in their schedule..... for RT(sp5) that is.

I agree with crbascott that leaving it as is just to be able to use that ONE command is silly and also unrealistic, and as I just stated they aren't even in a schedule together for it to matter anyway(unless you made a custom one) and judging by all the other things wrong with RT its a pretty safe bet that it is actually an error and oversight.

*EDIT*

Thank you for the suggestion for why it could be like that tho..... but if they did intentionally make that 'error' just to allow us to be able to use that one command still seems silly and unrealistic since they actually have different callsigns.

[Tower3D; Duplicate IATAs in Airlines file]

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 :)

[Rotate ADIRS Display?]

2 hours ago, Sky King said:

Perhaps this is related only to KSAN. Compare the ADIRS directions to that in KLAX (See screenshot). In KLAX, you look out the tower to the 24 set of runways to the right. On the ADIRS, the 24 runways are on the right side, correctly oriented. However, in KSAN (in my previous post), runway 9 is to the right visually, but on the ADIRS it is on the left. It is just another mental calculation that one needs to go through which I think is an error in the program.

And of course, the wind direction on the command bar is wrong also and drives me crazy. I am surprised it isn't fixed yet. In the KSAN screenshot, is the wind from 279 or 99? All the displays I have seen in US Control Towers show the wind from (so you can land into the wind). If the wind was from 279, it seems to me that the triangular arrow should be pointing towards 279.

Regards,

SK

 

The wind is coming from 269 at 11 knots in the KSAN screenshot.

The arrow in game points where the wind is going not were the wind is coming from.

[GA @ LAX]

For GA schedules they use the FULL code so it should read KLAX not LAX

also I don't know if it would show up or not in game if you just have them take off and come back around and land again.

[KLAS Las Vegas Strategy tips needed (runway use)]

I have been able to have small planes exit RWY 26 and turn right onto D at PHL

use the command below once you clear them to land

CALLSIGN VACATE RUNWAY RIGHT ONTO TAXIWAY D

 

[Real Traffic/Color Issue - KPHL]

8 minutes ago, crbascott said:

Good catch. EDV/CRJ was delivered as part of the KJFK Real Color but needs to be added to KPHL as well.

Regarding JZA CRJ, SKW CR9, RPA ER4 - none of these planes are in the RT schedule file for KPHL (SP5). As a result, they won't be included in RC for KPHL. FYI - SKW/CR9 was included with RC for KLAX so it shouldn't have a blank livery for you.

I don't know if SKW CR9 is blank for me or not, have not tested...... as you said EDV CRV should be added to KPLH as EDV was added to the KPHL schedule in RT SP5?? I didn't have RT before that but I know EDV is in the schedule now as is GJS so they should both have liveries included for KPHL which they currently do not

do you know what RC those other planes are in if they are included in one?

[Real Traffic/Color Issue - KPHL]

*UPDATE*

I found out that at least one of those other white planes in the image is EDV CRJ

*EDIT*

I have a feeling that the other one is possibly the GJS CR7(by taking a quick look at the schedule) either way since the EDV CRJ doesn't have a livery its likely that GJS CR7 doesn't either.

[Real Traffic/Color Issue - KPHL]

I have notice the same thing at KPHL.... I have the RC bundle(TIST,KLAX,KPHL) and still have white aircraft at KPHL

I also notice another aircraft.... I'm not familiar enough with the different aircraft yet to know what they are just by looking at them so I don't know what the aircraft is but I'm sure some one else could tell... also don't know the airline that it is(yet, will edit with update if I find out)however I can narrow it down as the aircraft is in Terminal D and my Terminal file for it is

Terminal_D: ACA,JZA,ASA,DAL,UAL,TCF,EDV,GJS COA

I know the one is the JZA CR2 as identified above but as you can see in the image there are more white planes in this terminal

also the post here suggest in addition to my current mystery plane missing a livery and those listed above that JZA CRJ, SKW CR9, RPA ER4 (Brickyward) may also be missing liveries

so can we get ND to add the other white planes(as shown in image) and possible the other that are mentioned in the other post if they are indeed missing from KPHL as well to the update.

 Thanks,

Dev

link to image as the one I added to here was too small to see anything as the file was apparently to large

Thanks for pointing this out. Hopefully Nyerges will see this and the other posts related to RT and put some effort into improving the quality of the product. 

Below are issues I found while just putting 30 minutes of effort into it. These could easily be fixed by Nyerges.

It would appear we all have to go in and fix all these issues are selves or wait who knows how long for ND to update.... it gets quite time consuming to have to go in and make all kinds of changes like this.

I would like to show what I found right away tho... In looking into PHL the

CLT, PHL, 319, AA, 869P, 20:43, 12:00, 1, AA

is actually what would appear a duplicate as well as I also found this further down

CLT, PHL, 319, AA, 869, 19:39, 12:00, 1, AA

as you can see the two are identical minus the slight difference in time... maybe the schedule changed...thus changing the time and instead of changing the time for that flight they made they change as a new entry but forgot to remove the old one?

I only just started to go though PHL so thats all I have found so far at least

cheers,

Dev
