Hi Chris, You really need to start a new topic for stuff like this but as an answer to your question the answer is no. There is no military option in the current format of the game at present. Gary

Simple answer is it will never work. If you look closely there is no taxiway for it to exit on as in real world operations they do not use Rwy 14 for landings, only take off. To land on this runway they would need to pretty much fly between the tower and terminal buildings and car parks and also cross over the two main runways to land which I don't believe is allowed under airport SOP's They do however use it to land GA on RWY32 (seen it whilst watching on Flight Radar) and exit to the GA ramp via Charlie taxiway and this works fine as do take off's from RWY 14, although I have personally never seen this in live operational monitoring. Hope this helps. Gary

Thank you for your opinion Craig, I, along with small band of others, do indeed try and help Gabor and Vic out with suggestions on RC and airport design etc for upcoming releases and test and offer feedback. However, at the end of the day, I do not own FeelThere or Nyergesdesign and have very little influence in how they run their businesses and I would suspect that as we are now some 22 airports or so into the current operational (albeit unsupported in terms of development) model, with a new version hopefully on the horizon, there would be little appetite to change this. As with all forum members, I can merely make suggestions and try and influence the future model development and price structure that way. Gary

Thanks Andrew Yep agreed. Not a game I would buy as it doesn't come close to what we have but some learning from it for aircraft graphics etc in it

GAME GRAPHICS I am sure those long in the tooth forum members are aware of this game, so apologies if I am going over old ground, but I came across this game and a lot of related YT videos the other day. It's a Tablet/Phone based game but with some cleaver downloadable software you can play it on PC. LINK TO ANOTHER GAME REMOVED Now as a game this has a LOT of things wrong with it (ruddy expensive to get the different liveries and made up airports etc) and in many aspects not a patch on what we currently have and improvements that we WILL have in TOWER XX but what I do like are the much improved graphics on what we have now (clearer, sharper, one off liveries, more custom views and tugs not doing the twist and shout shuffle on push back ) and serves as the basis of what we should get as a minimum in the next version. Particular likes are the flaps and reversers operating on touchdown (even to the extent of only the inner 2 engine reversers operating on the A380!), wheels up on take off giving a cleaner line and also the fact that when the aircraft turns in the air it actually "banks" to mirror the turn and on approach it does seem to follow some waypoint turns, not straight in from 20 miles away. IF we ever get to the point in the next version of actually landing and taking off using designated RNAV points at airports his would look cool. Proves it is possible but time will tell.🤨

Good day to you all, By popular request (demand!) I have updated the Master List (now Vs 12) to reflect the KRDU RC pack issued last week. @hexzedhas already provided a full description of what is in it in his previous posts but to answer the question overnight on the SouthWest Livery thread ( @tbruno19 ), yes it does contain the revised livery on the three SW 737's in it as well as the updates on the United A319 included in the KSFO pack. Also the Spirit A320 has been updated to the yellow livery plus 2 new A20N's for Spirit (in yellow) and Frontier have been included so for you US Airport fanatics this is probably worth a purchase. Enjoy. 🙂 PS : Before anyone asks I DO NOT HAVE any influence on getting the request for a consolidated central all encompassing RC Pack to cover all the liveries in the game produced. 😆 However, I do feel this is a good idea moving forward and one that should be considered for the next version if not palatable for this version of the game

All, Version 11 now posted with the recent KSFO updated RC detail added @hexzedhas done a great job summarizing what has changed in his hard work in getting this updated under his forum topic Gary

@707FAN Kev, as and when they are released I do add them to the Master File Excel sheet (use the drop down filter). General rule of thumb is if its got a # in it or a weird character, its made up to get them in the gaming schedules! With the new cargo aircraft without windows the custom guys demands are growing but boy the game looks so much better with then in! I think all the custom schedule guys should re do ALL their schedules to update them! ( I will await the expected abuse) 🤣🤣🤣 Gary

And I will update the Master File list when I get a chance 😉

Alaskaguy, please read the article again. No it does not say that....it says "It is not yet known when United will paint its first widebody aircraft in the new livery, but it will be before the end of the year" They have already stated that it will take up to 7 years to do the entire fleet in a previous article. https://onemileatatime.com/united-new-livery/.. It says "On average, United aircraft receive new paint jobs every seven years, so you can expect that we likely won’t see this new livery throughout United’s fleet until about 2026, give or take". Will keep an eye on the movements for new airports introduced and any updated RC for existing airports and work with Gabor to introduce the re-liveried models into the RC as and when its relevant. 😉

Is there a 787 actually flying in this livery yet and if so does it fly into SFO. If the answer to any of these questions is no then it won't be.....same goes for any airline or updated livery. It will be added to a future RC when its needed for a new airport or updated RC UPDATED: Just done some RESEARCH into this and found an interesting article on line which indicates not yet on the heavies but maybe by the end of the year. 🤨 https://aeronauticsonline.com/united-airlines-begins-re-painting-its-fleet/

Think Gavin meant if you do any videos at other airports that have dual or more departing runways like KLAX, YMML etc etc. Cool video BTW. Nice to hear the ATC calming tone of a fellow Brit 😁

"Except for the JST flight there was only one other no free terminal flight. Therefore I think the problem was that there was no heavy gate at the terminal. I will investigate further." Kev, from memory in testing don't think there are any heavy gates at Terminal 3 and 4. Only 1, 2 (international) and Cargo area. Gary

Should have left out the probably! 🤤

Craig is probably right in that it is easier to extract in a usable format

Flightradar24 also has a good history of flights per airport when you drill into it.

Because they are not an airline. They are (were) a Travel company with $2billion worth of debts that happens to own some aircraft to support their travel for their own holidays. They have been trying to sell their aircraft part for ages but no one is interested.

hexzed.. a thought. Do the new Freighter aircraft types need to be posted into the earlier airport airplane_txt files or will the latest RT overwrite everything else? Seemed to recall this was an issue when the BCS3 came out?

So on the strip when it appears does it say 74n or 748? If the later the line in your schedule file should read C#, 74n

When you say not showing up do you mean the actual flight or you are getting a white aircraft? What is the flight detail in the schedule?

based on previous activity this will probably take a while based on his other priorities

All, Version 10 now posted with the recent OMDB RC detail added Gary

Technically England is part of a bigger island with Scotland and Wales! 🤣

New version will be posted as soon as I confirm what is in the OMDB release 😜

Guess its midnight 31st August NZ time as still 9 hrs to go in the UK! 🤣🤣
