  3. List of Real Colors

    I had a question about the new real colors.  I'm looking to see if new liveries for Aer Lingus (wide body) and Westjet have been updated.  Please let me know.  Thank you.

    To expand on @Braf123456comments and to explain my file in more clarity I have searched and highlighted the info you are after in the attached screenshots. If you filter on the airline required in the Full RC List tab in the file either in the airline name or IATA code (in your case Aer Lingus and WestJet) it will show you what is in each RC pack. For info the game loads using the latest Texpack as the default model used in the game/schedule so using the A333_ei as an example if you wanted this one in game play you would only need the EGLL RC pack, for the A332_ei the KIAD RC Pack and for B789_ws you would need the latest RC pack 1 for the correct livery etc etc.

    Hope this helps and explains how to use the file I created in a more informative manner.

  6. Nyerges Design Tower! 3D Pro Real Colors Add on Pack 1

    Hi all,

    As you can see the RC Pack update is out and I will be updating the Master List shortly. https://forum.simflight.com/topic/85934-tower-3d-pro-real-colorsaircraft-master-list-by-airport/

    Thanks to all those that contributed ideas.

    As @crbascottcorrectly pointed out, these will need to be added to any custom schedules etc. as they are not specific to any one of the previously released airports and all the airlines will need to be added to whichever airport you are running. Most of you probably have a Master Airlines file but if not here is one that I use in testing. Just change the xxxx. to the airport code for the airport you are running 🙃

  10. KLAX - Real Traffic date = preparing for the next version of Tower

    I just get tired of seeing the YouTubers, Twitchers, and others brag about their skills and how they can handle so many departures when in reality they’ve driven their departure controllers (and more than likely passengers) into an early grave.

    Well put Craig. Crashing into each other on the ground and don't even get me started on correct take off timing and type separation (or am I too pedantic! 🤪)

    Does that make any sense?

    Makes perfect sense to allow correct terminal assignments at some airports

    You could extend this to spoof codes for the major US airlines as well, it would help a lot in separating domestic from international traffic by terminal. You wouldn't have to create any new liveries, just a new set of codes for existing liveries.

    Get this as well. For example Sky West which have American Eagle, United Express, Alaska, Delta Connection and their own liveries etc.

    To be fair this is something that could open up a Pandora's box in terms of volume so wouldn't want to suggest this for this pack as its more than anticipated in terms of volume anyway at this stage but IF there is a Pack 2 I guess it could be considered. Who knows the new game may be out by then and it may be easier to create the type of terminal segregation you are talking about without the need to create a further raft of spoof codes.

    All,

    I have updated the file in the first thread in this topic with those that have been added so far following recently received requests (Version 1.3).

    Please note that I will close the final list of submissions on Friday 22nd October to send off to Gabor at @nyergesdesign to start the production of this pack to allow for review and testing prior to release to the market. The good news that Gabor has agreed to get this to the market for late November/December this year providing testing goes successfully.

    The list is pretty comprehensive now with not too many slots to add but as before if you have a specific request PM me.

    This does not make sense, as I only have one USA airport, KLAX
    It look like some should be yellow, but I just purchased the KLAX Real Colour and they are all blue / white
    Was it later?
    For the latest livery, which would I require?

     Look at the A/C type you want (COL A) and it tells you which pack it is in (COL C) 🙃

    KLAX is the only airport on which I have Spirit Airlines, I am confused
    Does this mean I need a later USA airport?
    The XLS Master File does not make this very clear / obivious?

    Its pretty clear to me! That's why I spend hours and hours FOC for the community doing this c**p!

  23. EGLL - Unusually short turnaround

    in ATC Simulators

    Posted

    Is it departing from the same arrival gate? Is the log stating that that the inbound VS24 forms the departing VS23 cycle? If not, it is not the same A/C allocated surely

    Not sure what the turnaround time is set in this game is as a minimum (@WildCardmaybe able to confirm - I thought at least 30 mins) but I would change the arrival time of VS24 to later than the departure time of VS23 to resolve? Seems strange as the 15:15 would be the schedule time on DBRITE screen at the earliest and at 20 miles and allowing 6 mins to landing time (1.5 mins for 5 miles in game play) at 15:21 and taxiing to gate of at least 5 mins it would be departing just as its arriving at best

    All,

    This is an update announcement following on from the recent poll result and the agreement from Gabor to at least release an initial paid RC Service Pack update to the community.

    This is designed to keep RC packs as up to date as possible for those that still wish to game with the current version once the the new Tower Sim 3 comes out.

    I have attached an updated initial file with the list of liveries etc. that I have spotted in the airline press and requests already sent to me by community members thus far.

    To request additions to this please PM me with the following information for me to consider adding this to list to request from Gabor:

    1. Airframe type code

    2. IATA Code (if known)

    3. Airline Name

    4. Any additional comments

    I will respond directly to you if I have any questions etc.

    As previously mentioned in the original post the General Rules for requests to be considered are:

    - Requests for updates would be limited in the most part for airlines/flights that are operating into airports that are have been issued in the current version of the game (not a hard and fast rule but will be used to determine if these are added if too many requests for Nygeres to produce)

    - No one off or unique liveries would be considered

    - No new airframes will be considered but Cargo variants (without windows) of current airframes already in game would be considered. Real Traffic would be updated IF a new cargo variant is added.

    I will endeavor to update the RC file request list at regular intervals in this topic to keep people informed of requests received so far.

    Thanks

    Gary
