  1. If you are trying to load this for 3d Pro you need to install it in the \FeelThere\Tower!3D Pro directory extension not Tower!3D
  2. I think @ATControl -- Joe was doing one but not sure he has released this one yet
  3. Vic, Looks like KPHX sp now issued. Any chance KLAS will finally be fixed now and a SP issued soon? Gary
  4. Looks like a KPHX and RC KPHX released today according to the current versions sheet topic update?
  5. Hi C_M, Re your comment 2. Cargo aircraft and GA aircraft do not exit towards the cargo/GA ramps (west side of airport). They all turn towards the terminals, causing the aircraft to taxi the long way around One way to get around this when using 18R that I use is to issue the command as an example "FDX11 VACATE RUNWAY RIGHT ONTO TAXIWAY A2" when on final approach or just as its landed prior to the successful landing message. I use this for Cargo or GA traffic all the time and even use Right onto taxiway J for some of the smaller GA traffic as well. This saves the long taxiing around the houses. If you look in the Tower!3D Pro User Manual - Annotated topic on the forum first page there are a lot of useful commands that you can use to enhance the operating experience, for example this is the section on arriving aircraft: ARRIVALS There are other cleared to land commands available as spoken commands only CALLSIGN, RUNWAY XX CLEARED TO LAND HOLD SHORT OF TAXIWAY #taxiway1 FOR CROSSING TRAFFIC (the airplane will try to stop before the named taxiway) CALLSIGN, RUNWAY XX CLEARED TO LAND HOLD SHORT OF RUNWAY XX FOR CROSSING TRAFFIC (the airplane will try to stop before the named runway) You can also issue the following verbal commands too during the approach phase: CALLSIGN, EXIT AT TAXIWAY #taxiway1 (the airplane will try to exit at the named taxiway) CALLSIGN, VACATE RUNWAY LEFT ONTO TAXIWAY #taxiway1 (the airplane will try to exit at the named taxiway towards the requested direction) CALLSIGN, VACATE RUNWAY RIGHT ONTO TAXIWAY #taxiway1 (the airplane will try to exit at the named taxiway towards the requested direction Rgds Gary
  6. @crbascott said "Wow, that actually works and it seems to load all the RC files. I wasn't brave enough to try it myself. 😏" Yep just tried this one myself as well and it works fine. Nice one @hexzed
  7. Just re download this using the link on your e-mail from your original purchase of RT. Real Traffic is updated upon each release of a new airport and should be done each time this occurs. G
  8. Vic Any update on SP release date? Gary
  9. Thanks Craig, Thought as much as have been watching on Flight Radar. Didn't realise the storm was the reason for all the eastern take off's at present and trust me Craig some people take this far more seriously than a game! 🙂 G
  10. Just bitten the bullet and bought KMCO from Feel There. All installed and working fine..nice graphics Didn't realize what a big airport it is in terms of how much it is spread out. Takes forever to taxi anywhere! 🙂 A quick operational question for those that know the airport. Is it general rule of thumb that those departing from the western side gates depart from 36R/18L and from the eastern side gates depart from 35L/17R or does it depend on destination? Thanks G
  11. Daemein, Not had time to build the schedule yet due to other demands but try running LAX using 25R for departures and 25L for arrivals (you can try and sneak some departures on 25L if you get the space as well!) and set the density to around 60-65% to get a feel for running the South Tower/Ground scenario. Not strictly to how it runs but can be enjoyable and still demanding in single player mode, especially if running one of the customs schedules from ATControl Joe, Craig Scott etc G
  12. EDDS Oh goody..another German airport 😞 Was hoping for somewhere else in Europe next such as Amsterdam, Paris GDG or a UK one for a bit of variety G
  13. Hey Gabor, Does this mean that every airport in the game has a yellow livery for A319 Spirit or just the MCO now. (i.e. when you add a new/amend a livery on an existing aircraft for a new RC airport release it retrospectively defaults to this livery for all existing airports in the Tower 3d Pro)? Thanks G
  14. Thanks Vic Appreciate the update G
  15. Hi Vic, I noticed that ATControl Joe has done a video on the KLAX SP fix yesterday. Is this out yet? G
  16. Hi all Quick question on real colours which I haven't seen posted before to my knowledge. I haven't yet bought EDDM, SFO or the new MCO airports yet (will do shortly) but noticed that with all these airports and the real colour add on's to each one you get a lot of liveries/aircraft that are either new or in the case of SFO some missing E75 ones. Therefore do you have to buy the airport and real colours at the same time or can you just buy and install the real colours (cheaper short term option) to the database of overall aircraft in Tower 3d Pro to enhance all owned airports and then add the actual airports they relate to at a later date? The reason I ask is that a lot of these fill the gaps in the white liveries that you get in the custom schedules built by forum members Joe, Craig et al which have been the subject of debates recently This will obviously enhance the enjoyment for those of us that enjoy running these custom schedules but don't necessarily like seeing a lot of "white planes" whist doing it. Gary
  17. Well said VenturaGuy, Having started work on one myself recently gathering the data to get the realism of an actual schedule over an extended period and programme it is a mind numbing, time consuming feat! G
  18. Vic, Any progress on the Klas SP to fix the Terminal E and runway remembering issues or have I missed it? Gary
  19. Thanks Craig, Was looking at taking a full schedule and doing just that for the north/south split, basically drawing a line across the US and departing northern states flights from 24L (ie Northern Cal, Colorado, Illinois, Alaska etc) and ignoring the southern states, LATAM etc. Need to work out the International ones and from memory I recall seeing something (I think it was your notes on the LAX challenge) that all A380's and A340's have to depart from 24L due to wing span issues for 25R taxiing? Was watching the live feed earlier today and it seems to follow this pattern for departures but arrivals are a bit all over the place to be honest and also there were a few Mexico and Florida bound flights leaving from 24L. Like you, I find the bigger airports (LAX, JFK etc) a real challenge to keep on top of in single player mode (really must bite the bullet and work out how to set up the multiplayer function and give it a go) but being from the UK time differences may be an issue. It's not all about the volume of traffic for me, as sadly I do like to sit back and actually watch the planes and the variation of liveries etc on the ground moving around the airport sometimes and really hope in the next version of Tower 3D Pro that the graphics can be made better but kudos to the developers who do listen to feedback and seem to take on board all the forum comments. In the six months I have had the game there have been some vast improvements in game play and with the new Munich airport some more liveries to watch. As a Brit really looking forward to the promised UK airport soon (VIC!), whatever it will be! As an aside, I did a couple of hours today on LAX using 24L & 24R and setting the traffic density at 60% which gave an average of 45 odd movements per hour which was quite manageable and enjoyable to operate singularly. Not totally realistic but was still a challenge in getting the southerly terminal flights to and from the runways. G
  20. Thanks Craig & Joe, Thought as much. Was just thinking of doing something a little different for a change and trying something out. Appreciate your comment Craig that you have departures and arrivals on 24L/24R that begin/end on the South side which would add a little ground traffic work as well for a challenge. May bite the bullet when I have a couple of hours free to watch live traffic and flight radar etc and take copious amount of notes and build something for punishment and test it out.
  21. Looking to build a 24hr schedule to run KLAX as the Northern runway controller just dealing with Runways 24R and 24L. Is there a quick way to get a download of the flights/aircraft used on a specific day anywhere rather than sift through flightaware/flight radar etc or watch the live streams? Has anyone done this already and would be willing to share for me to adapt? Gary
  22. Not sure our American cousins would understand this humour...sorry humor!
  23. I think Gatwick with its single runway or maybe Manchester would add more variety and challenge? Heathrow would be more of the same as say LAX or JFK but it would add more airline/liveries to the mix I guess.
