  1. I love the new airport! I did find something very unusual. Often, I hear the controller's voice use "Detroit" for the tower call sign. I listen carefully and I'm sure that is what I am hearing. Does anyone have this experience?

    Maybe the next surprise airport is DTW? Did you guys somehow mix the files?

    Don't know what to say, it is on both my computers. Still think this is one of the best schedules without someone doing a new schedule.

  2. Great selection of aircraft and airlines. The late 70's to early 80's is a perfect time for your aircraft. Will this be using existing airports? I'm really looking forward to seeing this new retro package. Thanks to all that made it happen!

     

  3. I was just thinking, as most us have extensive travel and on our current airports there are numerous parking areas not being utilized. Why do we not have any military aircraft (cargo) or whatever in any of our schedules? Surely, you will almost always see somes ort of transport or cargo at airports throughout the world.

    It can be any country not necessarily all U.S. military.

  4. Hi All,

    I have the latest airport Dubai. I find it extremely boring or am I missing something? I have the latest RC and RT installed. I go back to my favorite airports that are fast paced like JFK, LAX, ATL. 

    Please tell me that someone has an updated schedule in the works. If I could I would make one but my computer talents are not that good. I love the customs scheds that are available. You guys are fantastic! I use a custom schedule on all my airports by various authors or programmers.

    Give me a hint. Is there one in the making for Dubai?

    No complaining Feelthere, I have all your add ons. 

    Cheers to All

  5. Hi guys,

    I just thought of an idea or I am really naive. But sometimes while playing I get interrupted or just want to stop.

    why can not I save a played game and go back to my play at a later time?

    I have to just lose out and start again. Am I missing something?

  6. Yes it makes things a little more challenging at LAX, JFK etc. Movements are slow but its part of the airport experience. Add the challenge cause there is plenty of empty hanger ramps where aircraft overnight. I will read your old topic. thanks

     

    Last, Flow control. Especially from LAX to SFO. weather up in the Bay area really would effect or gate space. I would try to find places for the departures to sit and wait their turn to take off. Sitting them on the gate with inbound arrivals is not an option. We parked them sometimes inremote parking to wait their slot. Flow control is not fun. But it makes challenges?

  7. Hi Again,

    I am currently playing LAX and I thought about some more aircraft movements. I use to work for United Airlines in LAX as a Ramp Controller. No body has ever given to aircraft movements under tow. Especially in the early morning you have plenty of movements from the Hanger to their various gate assignments. Sounds easy? But when your alley is full of pushes and your tow is blocking the FAA guys taxiway. It can hit the fan.

    Developers, can you add aircraft movements as I described?

    Has anyone also thought about occcassional military cargo/transport craft making an appearance?

    Just suggestions, but it would make things even more realistic.

    Cheers All

  8. Hi Everyone,

    I've been thinking about the scoring while playing. Shouldn't we get  our points when the departures contact departure control? The arrivals should be given the points upon arrival at their gate.

    I will admit I sometimes have accidents. When they do occur shouldn't the taxiway or runway have not only a penalty, but the aircraft should remain where the mishap occurs for a time penalty. Say 5 mins then the debris is clearned and open for traffic again.

    Back to scoring. I'd like to see included a breakdown of exactly what I was penalize for at the end of the game. Today it just gives us an overall negative score. I want to see the break down just exactly as to what I did wrong.

    I'm not a computer guy and I don't know what type of hassle to make these changes. I think its more practical and will enhance my playing experience. Its still the best game around and I own every add-on. I'm not really complaining, but just think these suggestions should be given a review and opinions by our fellow players.

     

    Thanks everyone!
