  1. T3D KPHX Phoenix issues

    Not undermining the fact that there is issues at Phoenix, as Cl30 has mentioned before with Southwest, and that i believe G5 is not drawn, but could you not exit at B8 with the CR?

    I was expecting this to happen with "ASH5954" and "ASH5957".

  3. T3D KPHX Phoenix issues

    in ATC Simulators

    Posted

    Had a multiplayer session a few days ago on Phoenix; and came across the following issues:

    Notes: Used @crbascott's custom schedule found here; however these are occuring with the default RT one as well.

    1) Gate Pushback issues (aircraft pushing back incorrectly):

    DAL136 pushbacked in a unconventional way. Couldn't get a good screenshot myself as I was doing tower.

    AAL2189 appeared to pushback from the wrong gate causing issues on pushback:

    SWA3037 had major pushback issues, including blocking taxiways.

    2) Serious issues with aircraft not exiting onto taxiway B7 when landing on runway 8.

    It's not a taxiway connection issue. This issue seems to be linked to landing distances of some aircraft (mainly CRJ's):

    ASH5954 (CR9) did not exit at B7 but again left onto A7. B8 would have been preferred if not B7:

    AAL1169 (B738) managed to exit at B7. Around time index 14:07:15.

    DAL947 (B717) managed to exit onto B7. Around time index 14:12:42.

    ASH5957 (CR9) did not exit at B7 but again left onto A7. B8 would have been preferred if not B7

    AAL2342 (B738) managed to exit onto B7 at around 14:30:00.

    NOTE: I tried using both the commands "[callsign] exit at taxiway bravo 7" and "[callsign] vacate runway right onto taxiway bravo 7" with the same results. See log file below for more details:

  7. T3D KBOS heavy aircraft runway assignment issue + 1 other

    in ATC Simulators

    Posted

    Hi,

    ISSUE 1 = Heavy aircraft runway assignments ...

    Had an issue with KBOS tonight with heavy aircraft being assigned runways which should have been feasible but were not being accepted by the sim.

    Was using KBOS custom schedule by Jonas found here in a multiplayer session.

    Setup: we were using 22L for inbounds and 22R for departures. 22L for heavies was the plan but they would only accept 33L; even though there is only a small difference in runway length.

    All the following aircraft in this session should have been able to takeoff from 22L but only accepted 33L:

    BOS, FRA, 748, LH,   423, 12:00, 17:50, 1, LH
    BOS, CPH, 343, SK,   928, 12:00, 18:41, 1, SK
    BOS, MAD, 330, IB,  6166, 12:00, 18:59, 1, IB

    ISSUE 2: ALL aircraft are taxiing off runways extremely slowly which is causing serious inbound traffic issues, resulting in many go arounds depending on Traffic Density setting. Please fix this.

  11. BOS bug, reported already?

    I've seen this before at other airports. The problem is that if you issue a hold short of a taxiway, it cancels all holds past that, including the implied holds at the runways. Using hold position followed by continue taxi doesn't do this.

    This is exactly right. Seen it at LAX myself as well.

    That's unfortunate. Definitely something to add to the possible future wist list for the next version.  Thanks for the info though!

    It has been mentioned before about the use of runways being able to be used as taxiways. I am sure this has been noted already but I will make sure to request it when there is a post for requested features of the next version.

    ok so basically I can use the old schedule as a guide to go off of and just change certain things then also do I have to have that many FedEx flights in Memphis that just seems like over kill even though I know that FedEx has there hub there.

    Basically yup :)

    You can use web sites such as flight radar to discover realistic airport timetables:

    was ordered too lol

    oh ok 

    Basically though ...

    1) Navigate to the airport folder you wish to produce a custom schedule for. Usually  "C:\SteamClient\steamapps\common\Tower 3D Pro\Extensions\Airfields".

    2) Make a copy of the file "schedule.txt". I suggest naming one "backupKJFKschedule.txt" or something. Then name the main schedule file "schedule.txt". The latter will be the file that Tower3D Pro looks up.

    3) Notepad++ is recommended so download and install it.

    4) In the schedule file you need to add your custom schedule flights. Each line is laid out like:

    Departure Airport, Arrival Airport, Aircraft Type, Airline, Flight number, Arrival time, Departure time, Duration and lastly codeshare (the airline code).

    All of this information can be found in the [icao]_airlines.txt, [icao]_airplanes.txt and [icao]_airports.txt files within the airports folder as mentioned above.

    For example: 

    SFO,JFK,752,DL,2144,00:03,12:00,1,DL
LAX,JFK,752,DL,759,00:04,12:00,1,DL
JFK,POS,738,BW,551,12:00,00:05,1,BW
JFK,BOG,788,AV,245,12:00,00:10,1,AV
    JFK,IST,77W,TK,12,12:00,23:50,1,TK
JFK,YYC,744,CX,95,12:00,23:51,1,CX
CLT,JFK,752,AA,1608,23:51,12:00,1,AA
JFK,PSE,320,B6,745,12:00,23:52,1,B6
JFK,BQN,321,B6,839,12:00,23:57,1,B6
JFK,SJU,321,B6,1503,12:00,23:58,1,B6
SFO,JFK,321,AA,20,23:58,12:00,1,AA
JFK,BGI,320,B6,1561,12:00,23:59,1,B6
MCO,JFK,321,B6,284,23:59,12:00,1,B6

    5) Most of those who have already created schedules also amend the [icao]_terminal.txt file so that each airline parks at the correct terminal or apron of the particular airport.

    I know there use to be a program which was created by someone on here but I am unsure if it is still usable.

  25. KSFO arrival exit issues on 28L and 28R (taxiway connection issues?)

    in ATC Simulators

    Posted

    So it isn't an airport issue? Just; if you zoom in closer, there clearly is a connection coming off of 28L onto taxiway Delta. There isn't for Echo mind.

    More to do with aircraft not exiting the correct taxiways after landing. They have followed my exit right or left commands without issue in other airports (you have to make sure they have clearance to land prior to giving the vacate runway L/R command).
