I am glad EGLL is quite some time away The airport is still under going redevelopment at Terminal 2, but once completed (hopefully) in the middle of 2021, it will be ideal for conversion from Tower 2011 to the next generation The middle section from Stands 213 to 216 and Stands 233 to 236 is well underway I would recommend waiting until Taxiway K is completed

In Tower 2011, I handover as soon as the Successful Takeoff is received In Tower 3D, I include the handover as part of the Cleared to TakeOff, "Callsign XXX Cleared for takeoff, Upon reaching altitude one thousand contact Departure" You may find this useful for busier airports

This could be helpful if EGLL (Heathrow) is updated There are several times in the Tower 2011 version where I have to select pause in order to catch up when there are lots or sequences of movements to be completed, which in reality would have been covered by two or more controllers

All your aircraft will be white However, you will still need to rename the original files and folders, in case you want to roll back to your original version I also plan to backdate the schedule to take advantage of some of the older liveries that are in the original (current) Tower 2011 aircraft colours (Real Color)

I have heavily modified EGLL for Tower 2011, but it is still not quite perfect It will not work with the standard configuration of EGLL for Tower 2011 As a result you would have to rename the original files, create new folders and then insert the files that I use This may affect other airports for Tower 2011, if you have any My current schedule is from Summer 2019 However, I have had to remove the FlyBe aircraft due runway conflicts and spare aircraft that I have not been able to resolve Some aircraft are also white, as they have been added since 2014 (such as the BA A380) If you are prepared to accept these risks, then I can put together some instructions and ZIP file

Looks like the fresh full installation I have performed has corrected an issue As discussed, by default with Runway 27R for arrivals Departures from Runway 27L : Any aircraft that was sent to Runway 27L, by default uses N1 I had previously tried Runway 27L at N2E, N2W, N3 and N4 However once given Line Up And Wait, would simply spin around and go to the end of the runway (as if they had been given Runway 27L without the At instruction) This no longer happens, as a result I now have the ability to line up four aircraft on Runway 27L It was even worse for departures from Terminals 4 and 6, when using Runway 27L at S3 and S4E These aircraft would not even line up, and crossed the runway! This too has resolved itself

This is one of the reasons I have gone back to Tower 2011, it is far more customisable

The OP is referring to Tower 3D Separating aircraft out so that specific liveries are allocated to specific terminals This is only possible where the liveries are specified in the airport files Using the Aircraft Master File is required for this, and then purchasing all the liveries in which those airports are applied The codes are then transferred to the terminal file, which the OP does not want to amend, but it is the only way to complete this I do not have CYVR, yet I assume the following : Air Canada Air Canada Jazz Westjet are all available within both CYVR and the Aircraft Master File In Tower 2011 it is a lot easier, but time consuming

No, not in Tower 3D, that was what I was working on All the aircraft are in correct liveries However it did mean purchasing three real colour packs Tower 2011 I knew I would end up with white planes as a few years had passed I could correct this more, but without a master list of aircaft and liveries it is a gamble to work out the correct ones to purchase

I heavily modified Tower 2011 EGLL (Heathrow) last year Sadly due to a Windows 10 update a few months later it stopped working, but earlier this week I fixed that issue Earlier this year I started on Tower 3D OMDB (Dubai) I was hoping I could modify that in the same way The only issue I have remaining is there is no method to edit the stands, there are only specific terminals and groups of stands However, you can duplicate aircraft and callsigns, this is similar to the same process I used for Tower 2011 EGLL It does mean some of the ICAO / IATA codes are not in the standard format However, so long as you are organised and avoid duplicates there are no issues You can then send specific fleets from one airline to specific terminals

Installed the following : 24GB RAM 240GB SSD, and moved Windows 10 and all programs to this drive Gigabyte GTX 750 TI OC 2GB Doing so has resolved the issue with Tower 2011, and is running again without any issues Tower 3D is also vastly improved, compared to the 1GB on-board Intel HD graphics The main monitor returns 30fps to 45fps and the second monitor (ADIRS and Strip) varies between 5fps and 35fps (it seems to be low when there is little or no changes required) However in the ADIRS the vertical lines for aircraft flicker / alternate between white and yellow, as the aircraft move between positions Any assistance to solve this minor issue appreciated

It is just the core program that has two varieties Any of the 3D products will work Traffic : https://www.feelthere.com/?s=3D+traffic&post_type=product Airport : https://www.feelthere.com/?s=3D+airport&post_type=product Color : https://www.feelthere.com/?s=3D+color&post_type=product

Decided to test today, as I wanted to look at some of the elements in EGLL The program is very slow to load and sometimes does not respond at all Almost identical to the issue on my laptops since October 2019 This suggests the issue is with Windows 10 v 1909 Eventually the Speech Recognition appears, but does not appear to be active Noticed in the game.log file it appears to stop once the schedule file has been processed for 8 hours from game start time I therefore uninstalled and only installed Tower2011m-sp4.exe This made no difference Any advice welcome on how to get Tower 2011 to run

Is there any progress on this? I started on KLAX yesterday I also noticed The Box Terminal is not included, nine stands Equally, the Imperial Cargo Terminal, 10 stands There are also Bus Gates at Terminal TBIT, it looks like these Remote Stands are also missing I assume these are Stands 341 to 345 rather than the West Remote Gates, stands 401 to 419

As explained above, for OMDB there is not really enough time to use either command When any aircraft that should be directed a direct route to Terminal 2 has successfully landed it is less than one second from K9 I have now found out why this was sometimes working a few days ago but had stopped recently I was using the pause button and just by luck the aircraft was at the correct position Lately I had stopped doing so as I had become more familiar with the airport and my voice commands were not being rejected so frequently It would have been helpful that the strip confirmed the exit and route, just like it does for departing aircraft

Tested again Created a test schedule file with just 10 arrivals FDB 738 Again it receives the command but once landed ignores it, as a result exits (escape) at the default K9 09:00:38 * FDB01 => ADD HISTORY: FDB01: Tower, SKY DUBAI 01 with you Runway 30L.

I agree that works perfectly well, but there are times when using an exit further to the west is preferred Ideal when an aircraft is taxiing eastbound on Taxiway M The incoming aircraft can then be left at M8 for some time

Anything I want to send to Terminal 2 via M8 So far only Sky Dubai, all configured as 738 I will start keeping a record of each flight number

It looks like it is not necessary for departures I have not had to take into account separation at any stage The only time I have had to consider separation is for a slow turboprop that may be caught up by a jet At least in Tower 3D you can advise the jet to take a different direction after take off However in Tower 2011 EGLL any jet following a turboprop had to be given a go around, otherwise there was a crash on the runway I got so annoyed of it I replaced the turboprop with a jet!

As above, I have been trying the following as soon as the aircraft appears on the arrivals strip Callsign Runway 30L cleared to land Cleared to land Callsign (reply) Callsign Exit at taxiway M8 Exit at taxiway M8 (reply) I have tested again with five aircraft that would normally accept Take next available exit on right However, one did not do so, and I cannot work out why?!

Could you please correct / update this at the next version OMDB OV - Estonian Air / Salam Air

I assume this is a hypothetical game addition (as I have not yet applied the weather option in Tower 3D) At EGLL in most cases departures are processed normally, due to stand demand The aircraft is then either - left near to the terminal, in case it is highly likely it will be rescheduled sent to a lightly used taxiway that it will not obstruct other aircraft, where it is likely to take off eventually In Summer 2019 I saw this twice BA flight to Hamburg left the stand as normal and then sat for nearly 90 minutes at Link 57 AC flight to Montreal was third to depart from Runway 27R, but was sent via Taxiway M (normally only used for maintenance) to sit near to Runway 27L at Link 28 for two hours (as by then the runway swap would have taken place)

I started with Tower 2011 EGLL (Heathrow) in 2019 For each summer from 2016 to 2019 I was lucky enough to stay at a hotel nearby with an excellent view of the holding points for Runway 27R departures Even after four years I still could not quite work out the order the aircraft queued at A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5 were going to be cleared on to Runway 27R In general two smaller aircraft (A320 and B737) would be cleared between each heavy, if appropriate That assumes one was on A4 and in the correct order at A1/A2/A3 As above, sometimes that was not diserable as the SID was the same In the summer of 2019 I sat at Primrose Hill (London) twice On the first occasion I watched departing aircraft, and the separation was about 15 minutes On the second occasion it was sadly arrivals but I did notice the same general aircraft type pattern was being applied I also started using flightradar when staying at the hotel and this made it much easier to predict departures I started with Tower 3D and OMDB (Dubai) in June (I chose Dubai as I prefer international Heavy aircraft) Sadly I have never been to this airport I started off with charts and then watching a few videos on YouTube It was then pointed out that departures are predominantly Runway 30R, so is similar to Heathrow At OMDB I have a fairly good process now for accepting arrivals and dispatching departures In some cases I can have three aircraft all lined up ready for departure B737 from N8 or M12A, then B777 from M13A, then A380 from M15A Equally, I can end up with aircraft out of sequential order so that they can cross runway 30L This is usually a B737 at K7, B777 at K10 and A380 at K12 I try to get this so setup in advance so that there is no queue back on to taxiway K I have had this once, so cheated and sent the aircraft on a long route to K14, R then to N12 That is not something you can do at EGLL ! Personally, so long as an aircraft departs within 15 minutes of leaving the gate it is acceptable From memory there is penalty if it is excessively late departing

Vacate Runway, for Terminal 2 I now need some advice on this route My normal command is Callsign Runway 30L cleared to land Callsign Take next available exit on right As a result aircraft vacate at M12B I have been trying Callsign Runway 30L cleared to land Callsign Exit at taxiway M8 I have no problem getting aircraft that normally exit at K8 or K9 to take another exit, my usual one is K1 However for aircraft that exit to the north it seems to be random whether they actually use M8 At the last second I notice they use either of the two default exits, usually K9 Equally, the majority of these aircraft are quite small, such as A320 or B737 Therefore it does not give much time to issue a command once landed It is something like 10 seconds between landing and the route to exit being applied Any advice welcome
