Many thanks This has now allowed the second voice to be tested Initially I still only had the one (female) voice A second shutdown and restart corrected that issue

I am not so sure the Real Traffic schedule is from Summer 2016 I have quite a few liveries which are included the Real Colours, but no actual flights! I have added the following line to my terminals file : // No assigned Terminal - Flights to be added: AUA,CFG,CRK,CSC,CXA,ENY,KAL,LOT,MXJ,NRS,ROU,RPA,SVA,VIV

Uninstalled and reinstalled Real Colour KLAX This has corrected the issue with the correct Spirit Wings livery, instead of white airplanes Not sure why only this airline was affected

Darn, I see it now the yellow is a more recent livery Sadly not very clear as a 2019 onwards standard

This does not make sense, as I only have one USA airport, KLAX It look like some should be yellow, but I just purchased the KLAX Real Colour and they are all blue / white Was it later? For the latest livery, which would I require?

KLAX is the only airport on which I have Spirit Airlines, I am confused Does this mean I need a later USA airport? The XLS Master File does not make this very clear / obivious?

Please feel free to merge if already covered I have just noticed on adding KLAX Real Colour KLAX that Spirit Wings / Spirit Airlines, is a white livery More recently a yellow livery

Furthermore, one thing I have noticed is that incoming aircraft appear to be using the most appropriate (nearest) runway to their terminal There have been a few exceptions, or is this just luck?

Purchased Real Colour today (which also means I can add some options to EGLL and OMDB) What a difference to this testing It does help there are two providers on youTube so I could revise my operations to better match reality I was not aware of how this airport operated (24R / 25L arrivals) Sadly the Real Traffic file appears to be quite out of date, with Virgin America which is now Alaska Airlines There does also appear to be an issue which affects some aircraft where they are lower then expected and lose their wheels! I took screenshots of a Delta B763, but it was not affected, however as I now have Real Colour I will create a new topic specific to this Again, looking to create a late Summer 2018 / 2019 timetable

The main reason this does not work is the terminal file is airlines only, there are basically no other editable variables Tower 3D does split aircraft types, but even that is flawed as it is prop / medium / heavy only This becomes an issue at airports which have aircraft specific type gates, such as KLAX (two B777-300 gates for American) and EGLL (A380 Super gates) It was possible to apply this in Tower 2011 through the airport editor For EGLL A380 could then sent to specific stands Oddly at EGLL I managed to split British Airways flights, which removed Heavy at Terminal 5A which is extremely rare as it reduces capacity

Summer 2016 it is then

I need to check my Terminal 4 spreadsheet The original airline schedule allows 20 minutes My own schedule allows 20 minutes from DBRITE to stand, then the standard 20 minutes However on both occasions it had arrived AFTER it should have departed I may need to find this this weekend and work out exactly what this was happening Maybe this aircraft for this airline always left late!

In Tower 3D I made a few tests on KLAX some time ago, but as I do not have the Real Colour pack I gave in Ironically I still require the Real Colour pack to swap over some of the EGLL flights and correct them I have now watched a few live videos and realise where I was going wrong I now plan to create a summer 2018 or 2019 timetable However, when (roughly) is the Real Traffic file from? I have sorted my spreadsheet into each airline, I can then search the flight numbers I suspect this will be one of the first airports released in the next version of Tower, so nothing like planning in advance As an aside The USD = GBP exchange rate is ridiculously low now, it is almost as low as what I paid with the normal 25% discount

I rushed my first request, as it just looked nice and filled a gap at (fictional 2019) EGLL Terminal 4 Thank you for confirming a cutoff date I need to go back to OMDB, from memory there is one aircraft and airline missing I have also now started on KLAX, can then see if there are any combinations that give me a red cell (aircraft and airline required)

Yes, I use the following priority criteria : Airline, aircraft type, arrival time, departure time, stand availability At no point am I using the flight number, it is only used in the schedule and for identification The other two flights and aircraft are A330 and A343, and these are created correctly It is only the B789 that has the issue The second later arrival is correct (it makes little difference as both departures are after 19:00)

Official Virgin Atlantic Airways Summer 2019 diagram : VIR23 15:25 LHR - LAX VIR24 LAX - LHR 15:15 -> Forms VIR449 20:05 LHR - JNB VIR251 PVG - LHR 16:45 -> Forms VIR25 20:15 LHR - JFK VIR461 22:30 LHR - JNB Log file : Restarter airplanes / parent incoming: VIR24 - 14:55:00 outgoing: VIR23 - 15:25:00 Restarter airplanes / parent incoming: VIR251 - 16:25:00 outgoing: VIR449 - 20:05:00 CREATE SERVER AIRPLANE: VIR461 I have tested again and VIR24 arrives at the stand at about 15:10 The B787 that is already in place is VIR461, but this should actually be VIR23 It looks like my 20 minute adjustment from entering airspace on DBRITE to arriving at stand has upset this aircraft / flight I have noticed a few other flights that seem to turnaround very quickly, but this one was very obvious as the stands are directly under the tower Reducing this to less than 20 minutes should correct this I have also noticed the opposite occurs, where adding the 20 minutes should have resolved issues There was a flight arriving into Terminal 4, and then one minute later was requesting pushback! Again, there is a gap of 30 minutes, but it takes so long for the aircraft to transit across the airport

I have noticed this a few times and have confirmed the flights this has occured with VS24 B789 LAX - LHR 15:15 VS23 B789 LHR - LAX 15:25 As you can see this is a turnaround of just 10 minutes There is a second B789 which the program creates at commencement, and this forms VS449 B789 LHR - JNB 20:05 The incoming VS24 should then form VS449 The existing VS449 aircraft should be forming VS23 instead Any ideas on how to correct this? Would changing the optimised file resolve this?

Personally, this should be an on / off option, or graded, just like the weather option in Tower 3D As much as I like the weather in Tower 3D, the view becomes distorted when there is rain

As mentioned previously, I use flightera.net If you have the flight numbers, then you can search by month This will show you the aircraft, terminal and stand number As Tower 3D does not perform local movements; add / remove aircraft between Terminals, stands, remote stands, maintenance and so on Creating a spreadsheet with each stand and then each flight, avoids overlap Equally, you may find you are unable to add certain flights I had this with EGLL, so removed two British Airways destinations from Terminal 3 There was a similar issue with Terminal 2 and Terminal 4, as many of the international flights have a long layover time, so block stands either after arrival or before departure

Several sources are available for this I use flightera

When the Real Traffic file was created there were no flights due to Covid restrictions You may want to use the history from 2018 or 2019, or the former airport ISL in 2017

Disable Norton Download Disconnect from internet Install Shutdown / Restart then continue.. One of the reasons I stopped using Norton

Logan Air did not operate in Summer 2018, but two others were missing I can add the Malaysian A380 now, from another Real Colour airport Not sure what the other is as my main computer has the spreadsheet that I use, but from memory it is another airline serving Terminal 4 at EGLL where the real colour is missing although the aircraft "white colour" is created

Agreed, but be realisitic about the timescale Start with major orders I did the same when I recreated the real-time schedules for OMDB and EGLL, each took me a few days Quite easily done for Airbus, Embraer, Boeing, and a few others Those gaps can then be easily seen I could probably work on a basic spreadsheet in December, you can then see what the missing liveries are

Looks like you missed the point List all the possibilities with the existing "white planes" Where there is a real colour, then it is YES Everything else is NO You can then determine if it is worth planning a real colour to convert NO to YES I use this same principle for missing liveries in order to fill gaps, by purchasing just those airports For example B737-800 in airline A livery would be a NO, introduced 2019 However in Tower 3D it already has B737-700, so shows as a YES (but for an older airport pack) Another in the XLS spreadsheet is LoganAir This has gone from NO to YES
