But @HappyNUyear is more than welcome to empty Terminal 2 by assigning some airline that never goes to PHX (like WWW) as the only airline to that terminal and leave it empty...

That's because it's not an email address (as it lacks the "@"). It's a website. Open it, click on "submit a request" in the top right corner, and there you go...

@MJKERR I was able to download and install the service pack.

The next airport was announced to be Istanbul (with it's eight gazillion taxiways from A1A until T12).

The thing is: It does not always work.
When I control DFW, I always try to get landing aircraft take the route from 17L via ER, P, ES, JS, A, K to the ramp. It never works. Not even when I let them hold on ER short of P. The route is simply unusable. The only route the game engine accepts is crossing both runways at either ER or A/B via P.
The same goes for the taxi route from the MA ramp to 22R at JFK, when you try to make it A, W, C, E, FB - it's never accepted although the number of steps is below six (the only route accepted, however, is B, W, C, E, FB, although it is longer...). And when the wind does not allow departures from the 13s, not even giving an initial taxi route to 13L and holding at V works.
That's why I can already foresee issues with LTFM.
-
LTFM? Really?
Unless FT offers a wayfinding update for the game, I don't see how to make a landing on 34L going to apron 3 work with the limitation of six taxiways per route.

The airport structures look real cartoony to me
Thank you for voicing what I was thinking! When I saw the video and the screenshots, so much seemed to be off balance somehow, but I couldn't pinpoint what it was.
Also, when I take this video as a reference, the terminal building seems out of proportion, especially regarding the height... (The terminal can be seen from the 21:00 mark.) It is barely higher than the vertical stabilizer of the Japan Airlines Dreamliner, but it seems twice as high in the screenshots.

Not so different from where I am. (Unsurprisingly, since EDDH and EGLL are just 400 nm apart.) This is purely the effect of earth's rotation working uninfluencedly above a flat oceanic surface and the proximity of London and Hamburg to the ocean.

Is Clear at KLAX below 3 knots and at EGLL at 10-15 knots?
Remember - we're talking about England... 😁

@MJKERR I don't know what was actually used, but streamers and Youtubers often (if not mainly) use OBS Studio (so do I for personal use) which is open source and free.

My EGLL strategy is this:

Something like that should be part of the airport design, rather than part of the schedule. But, we’ll see.
I won't disagree with you on that point. (Then, again, it might be easier to adapt in case the approach procedure changes, but that could also be achieved by changing parameters in an xml/ini/config file...)

In your attached image, the approach altitude override (feet) column has me intrigued. I’m struggling to think what this could be for.
The 3° glideslope is not carved in stone. London City Airport (EGLC), for example operates with a 5.5° glideslope, which means that aircraft start their descent out of 2,000 ft at 3.4 DME. The ILS Y approach in EDDF is 3.2° descending out of 5,000 ft at VAGUL (13.9 DME). Might have something to do with that.

During typical south flow a departure from 13L would feed straight into the flight path for KDAL (Love Field) which is only a few miles away.
Which is why KEENE2.DFW and KING8.TTT demand an immediate right turn heading 240° and TGATE3.DFW initially turns right towards ELLVR before joining a 130° heading. For a tower controller this is a challenging task to stack the departures without conflict, but it seems possible.

I guess he means taxiing eastern departures from the cargo area and terminals B and D to 17R/35L and 13L as well as western departures from the GA area and terminals A, C and E to 18L/36R and 31L via taxiways A, B, Y and Z.
-
If you want to operate KLAX realistically right now, you should also set the traffic volume considerably lower... 😉
-
Oh, I just got another idea. How about an airport that's (almost) exclusively GA? Like Teterboro (KTEB) or Denver Centennial (KAPA)?

In ZRH, you have always just one runway in use for arrivals.
That's interesting, because before I wrote the post, I looked up departures and arrivals from Sunday at Flightradar24 and saw WK131G landing on runway 28 at 21:30 and LX147 landing on runway 34 78 minutes later (which, of course, is in no way critical, but left me with the impression there might be a rule, because if runway 34 is in use, why would you open runway 28 for smaller jets, especially with this volume?).

Very interesting, but will the current game engine do it justice?
Issues are definitely the late turnoffs from the landing runways 14 (after ~2,400m / 7,825 ft) and 34 (after ~ 2,080m / 6,825 ft), especially with GA, RJs, mediums and 75s. I'm not sure whether the 28 can be used for landings for RJs and mediums while simultaneously landing on 34, or whether the 10 is usable for medium departures.
Other than that, the layout seems less complex than EKCH.
Other airports like LIMC, LIML, EDDB, or LGAV have layouts we already have in the game. Or would be overwhelming weaker hardware, like LIRF, or are too complex for the game, like LTFM (the new airport), LEMD or EHAM. From a European perspective, there's actually not many airports left which combine an interesting layout with a quite tight schedule. Not even EDDH is particularly busy, and it only has three non-European flights (two per day to OMDB, one to OIIE). The only really interesting aspect about EDDH is that test flights returning to EDHI make a touch-and-go at EDDH, before landing at EDHI, on a regular basis. Not as often, but happening from time to time: A Beluga crew mistakingly approaching EDDH instead of EDHI and going around...

And PANC doesn't seem so busy, might be relatively boring without the effects of frost and snow, I'd think.
I think LSZH has an interesting layout and operation schemes. And it's a quite busy airport.
-
In that case: EDDH. 😁
EDDL is rather boring, except it sees some heavies (in particular: an Emirates 77W to OMDB, and an Iran Air Airbus 330 to Tehran ), too, despite its longest runway being just 9,842 ft long.
(I took my very first flight from EDDL on an L-1011-500, flight LT900 to KMIA.)
To be honest: I'd love to see SundAir's livery in the game... -
You're the best!

I am completely at a loss...
I'm working on a custom schedule for Newark and found that all 73Hs from American (and United, but I'm still trying to figure that one out, so disregard that for a moment) turned out white (I have updated RealTraffic to SP6V27, and I own all RCs, including retro).
The funny thing is that the 73Hs from American work perfectly next door at Kennedy! And there's also no mistake made in the schedule. Here's an example.
Flight AAL1388 arriving at JFK:
(PHX,JFK,73H,AA,1388,05:55,12:00,1,AA)
Flight AAL2505 departing from EWR:
(EWR,CLT,73H,AA,2505,12:00,05:00,1,AA)
Any idea what goes wrong would be wildly appreciated...

Switching to OnSlowSpring was really a grrrrrrrrreat idea...
Downloading KIAD (131 MB) using a 100 MBit/s line takes more than an hour (at ~ 25 KB/s). Awesome. I mean, I'm older, but I was glad leaving 56k modems behind at some point...
