Pedantic G

Thanks for pointing out. Corrected ready for the next/final version or will it be! 😉

As above, waiting for a response from @nyergesdesignre updating the installers UPDATED: I have also sent a PM to Gabor on this for his attention

Hi Charles, no mistake on the schedule as it has never flown into LTFM on schedule services from my research but was added to the RC as this was the first opportunity to get it into a RC since somebody requested it on a post I spotted on the forum (think it was @MJKERRfrom memory for his EGLL schedule). Ironically, in line with other major airlines and their "big birds", the MAH A388 is being phased out so its historic now! As I have posted in the Real Colors Master List topic and its in the Red lettering in the text, in recent times due to the lack of traffic and aircraft types flying into airports in the past 18 months or so to get more value out of the RC packs for the end user, recent RC airport packs have had added RC in them to add things like updated non window Cargo models, Airline livery updates, new aircraft arrivals (MAX etc) and also where I spot forum requests or direct PM's I get. Where he can Gabor will add them, within reason. Therefore, schedules may or may not have flights for released models in the published RT schedule. Gary

Thanks Charles. Appreciate the update. Over to Gabor now to fix the issue and update the installers by the look of it.👍

So looking at your manifest_034 load in the output log the A388_mh does not appear to be there so I suspect that the install file you have a link for from the FT website is not the final version that was tested to be released by NygeresDesign. @nyergesdesignGabor, can you check that the when you packaged up the LTFM RC files for release that you sent the FINAL install version to the relevant distributors with the A388_mh that was added just prior to final testing and signed off as it appears to be missing in the version that @ATC AlaskaGuyseems to have downloaded from the FT website?

@ATC AlaskaGuy In addition to @crbascottcomment of a log file may help, to start off the investigation do you have this line in your airplanes_texpack34.manifest file? - Assets/Resources/airplanes/Textures/A388_mh.jpg If not, which would indicate a file upload issue with Nyergesdesign upload file, did you purchase via the FT website or via steam? Also, if anyone else has purchased LTFM RC are they having issues and therefore the same question to them? Gary

I added it because its in the LTFM Manifest file and it does work at LTFM (picture attached) 😉 - Assets/Resources/airplanes/Textures/A388_mh.jpg

Very true....and driving past Bournemouth Airport yesterday there were 7 A340's, at least 5 of them are sitting there in European Cargo ex Virgin livery. A sight to behold dwarfing the mandatory Ryanscare B738.

Think you have it spot on matey but as Virgin Atlantic make their own rules up anything goes as they say...😉 Found something on the infamous interweb earlier that seems to account for most of them Getting back to the in game liveries there are three in the actual RC's (Revised JFK_04, ATL_07 and LHR_32) and all 3 are different and as already stated are not probably based on any specific aircraft and indeed 2 of them are not accurate anyway as the Virgin logo on the starboard tail is pointing the wrong way (yes me being pedantic and got Gabor to change this before release of the latest RC pack that included this aircraft) The most accurate would be the last one released in the EGLL RC pack. 😁

Hi all, Following the release of the latest and probably the penultimate airport in this game format and its associated airport RC Package, Vs 25 of the Master file now uploaded. There are 126 additional listings for LTFM, the majority of which fly or have flown into Istanbul at some point since the airport opened but as before an opportunity has been taken to update some cargo variant models and requests from members where thought appropriate. I have also taken the opportunity in the time between this airport release and the previous ZBAD one to do some more extensive research to update specific livery comments on airlines that have updated their liveries in recent times and also expand the livery comments on Cargo operators in particular. I hope this is useful for the community members who, like me, create their own schedules. Special comments on airlines who have ceased operating or have announced the cessation of flying specific airframe types in these trying Covid times have been updated if I have spotted them in airline press. Take care all

Hold points on A4 & A5 have moved closer to the runway as far as possible without looking stupid and too close to the runway and it enables aircraft to pass by on Alpha without stopping (unless you try and stick a heavy off of these intersections which I do not believe is realistic anyway). I am sure one missing stand is not going to stop your enjoyment of the game! 🙃 In any event make the most of the SP guys and girls as there will not be another one... 😉

Good description Craig.. I have "borrowed" this and @hexzedwords to amend the wording in my spreadsheet to specify this 🤗

Although the E195 E95 EMBRAER 195 REGIONAL JET is listed in the airplanes.txt file there is no model for this in the RT airplanes_pack1. manifest file so it will not show up. (see the airplanes_codes tab in my Tower 3D Pro - Real Colors/Aircraft Master List by Airport file sticky listing which details those planes that actually DO NOT have a fuselage body in the game despite them being listed in the each airports airplanes.txt file)

All, Once you are able to download the SP released yesterday by FT (don't ask me why you cannot as I have nothing to do with that side of it), these are the changes made based on the SP fixes I sent to FT on 29th March. SPF1: FIXED SPF2: FIXED SPF3: UNABLE TO FIX PROPERLY SO LEFT ALONE AS MINIMAL IMPACT IF COMMAND TO TAXI TO TERMINAL/RAMP/APRON GIVEN IN "TIMELY" MANNER AND THIS REALLY ONLY IMPACTS LANDINGS ON 27R AND A HEAVY GOING TO A11 ETC PASSING A HEAVY AT A10E. SPF4: FIXED SPF5: FIXED SPF6: FIXED SPF7: FIXED SPF8: FIXED SPF9: ALL OK SO NO NEED TO CHANGE Other issues found in testing and fixed: Pathing improvements and some gate push back issues fixed in cargo area and other gates bordering taxiway Bravo in addition to SP7 above. Enjoy when you can

😉

No idea Brad does it? Compared to what? Are you saying too small/large against something else?

Hi All, Its been a while due to no airport releases but Master File Vs24.0 released now with ZBAD RC details, errors in previous version corrected and known airline operational fleet updates. The more observant of you will work out that in the ZBAD RC release there are far more aircraft and liveries in it that currently fly into ZBAD and with Gabor's agreement I asked for a larger number of additions to be added to the RC to make it more value for money for people purchasing it. There are a number of reasons for this. 1. ZBAD is a relatively new airport and due to Covid the number of airlines and types flying into it transferring over from ZPEK-Beijing Capital Airport has been delayed due to current International flying restrictions. Where possible, especially for the domestic airlines, all aircraft types that these airlines operate have been added, including the B737 MAX where it is known they have or are due to get them. 2. Due to the enormous amount of Cargo aircraft currently flying, where possible I identified those that fly into the surrounding airports in China (there is still very little Cargo that flies into ZBAD) and those that historically have not been updated to the Non Window Cargo variant that Nygeres added a while ago and added these to the RC request. 3. I have tried to add requests spotted on the forums and those asked directly to me into this one for those that like to build their own schedules for other airports (although not all of them can be accommodated but I do try). Specifically in this RC/RT release these are some of the highlights: - There are 2 new airframes for gaps in the Cargo variant. The B73K (B738 Freighter) and A21F (A321 Freighter) with some associated liveries for aircraft currently flying. @QantasFan-QF476the A21F for Qantas Freight/Australia Post is added! - @QantasFan-QF476the B738 for REX is also added - Requests for the B73K for Amazon Prime Sun Country and DHL iAero Swift added - Some updated liveries and more US Cargo operators added. - @Macquariefor RT the A343 body scale has been adjusted to be more in scale following your forum query in early March. With the new version being released sometime in the future I am not sure how many more RC's in this format will be released or updated so will keep an eye out for requests/comments and add where I can if and when any new RC packs are to be produced. Keep well and Covid free all 🙃

All, Service Pack fixes sent to FT for review and hopefully agreement to move forward with at least some of these. SPF1 Displaced Threshold Changes to Runway 09L & 09R - HIGH IMPACT SPF2 Rename YA2 and Y1 to N11 and connect to start of Runway 09R - HIGH IMPACT SPF3 RWY 27R at A10E Exit Point - HIGH IMPACT SPF4 Move Hold Point on A3 to stop conflict - MEDIUM IMPACT SPF5 Alpha Taxiway Hold Points onto 09L/27R and 09R/27L -HIGH IMPACT SPF6 Add new link (SN1) between S1 and N1 - LOW IMPACT SPF7 Pushback Fix on 5 gates onto Bravo correct release position - LOW IMPACT SPF8 Tower/Ground speech feedback where some people hear "Detroit" - LOW IMPACT SPF9 Check Calm Weather Settings - LOW IMPACT Will keep you posted when I hear anything on this.

Requirements List input now closed Will compile the final list and then post what I have sent to FT to review and hopefully agree to devote a resource to work with me to produce and SP Gary

Very true... you can get wind coming at you in all directions at all times of the day. Interestingly looking at the average stats for the last 16 years its not far off! 🤣

The ability to set up and input the weather/wind etc at the start of each session was on the "wishlist" from memory ideally linked to some sort of real world real time package like some of the leading FS games. I think this has been raised before but the arrow in the Command Panel in the game appears to be facing the wrong direction it relation to the specified wind direction (Thought the arrow head should point into the wind)? This is showing wind at 10 knots at 296 degrees which if have not forgotten my school education (which was many many years ago) would indicate that its blowing 10knots FROM the WEST to EAST and thus if selecting 09L (or 09R) would be a tail wind above the safe threshold, hence the inbuilt game warning and you should switch to a 27L/27R take off landing/takeoff set up (into the wind) Not sure if there is the possibility to define at airport level specific settings for each airport for wind parameters but will raise this on the to do list to for the developer allocated to check and maybe turn down the "average" setting for the the wind speed. This may drive settings for other the Stormy, Random etc. Might just be coincidence but as the predominant average wind direction in the UK is prevailing winds from the West maybe there is specific airport setting capability for realism 🤷‍♂️ Will raise a card for the developer to double check specific airport issue in the final list I send FT.

Tower 3D default (I guess not calm) but if you get this message you need to switch runway operations. Nothing I can get fixed

Thanks, I will add a card to check the pushback release points in the gates in this section backing onto Bravo

All, I need to bring this topic to a conclusion by the end of tomorrow to get the potential fixes to FT for review and hopefully developer scheduling. Thanks for the input so far and I will update the posting at the start of this posting with what I send to FT for their review once sent. For info, as an update on point 4 HIGH IMPACT - Hold points for 27R I have been carrying out some tests on the A1- A3 taxiways for feed into the start of 27R in the last couple of days, with some input from another couple of well known forum contributors, and will not proposing any changes to this as it works pretty well with respect to the known game issues on aircraft proximity warnings, aircraft sizes etc. You can "stack" aircraft here fairly accurately with careful planning and controlling. The hold points are roughly where they should be and the only real issue was that I think that the A3 Hold Point should actually go back slightly as when given line up clearance to an aircraft on A2, this did not move as a proximity warning stopped it moving forward due to a conflict with the aircraft waiting on A3. This only impacts where you have a heavy at both hold points but needs to be addressed.

What ever you do with your own files is up to you and your suggestion is logical and in fact is exactly what I did in my own custom schedule I put together for testing
