Kev, Also the RT file really needs to be updated to ....... reflect 2017!! Vic, I know RT is not a FeelThere product but please please lean on Nyerges to update their key add-on that really drags down your great software by theirs being so very out of date. Wayne

Andrew, ? Wayne

Vic, This is your big chance to pay for that Gulfstream. KATL+Andrew+open wallet = ? + ? + ?+ ? (If those emojis don't show this email is rubbish). Wayne

What do you fly Sky King?

Seriously? Of course it is how it is programmed, how else could it be? And then someone thinks it is a good feature to be able to send commands while a pilot is still on the RT? Is this a wind up?

Russell, It is in the same folder as the Tower3D.exe application file.

This has been raised by flightsimpilot under the thread "KSAN B9 Exit". As I wrote in that thread, I can get it to work quite often but not a 100% success rate. I use "Bravo Niner".

Stephen, Glad to have helped a bit. If there was a latest versions sticky and the add-ons had the correct default folders there wouldn't be much to read on this forum! ? More seriously, I think the download email received after each purchase should have a 'keep these links so you can upgrade with future SPs' in big bold letters.

Stephen, I cannot tell for sure from your post if you have Tower3D or Tower3D Pro, but here is what I think are the latest versions of the software you mention: If Pro: Tower3DProSP1a / RT_Tower3D_PRO_sp2 / RC_Tower3D_KPHL_sp2 If not Pro: Tower3D_SP2a / RT_Tower3D_sp7 / RC_Tower3D_KPHL_sp2 If only there was a sticky listing all the latest versions ........

Are you running tower3d.exe as an admistrator? Running that way fixes most pilot voice issues. Can I suggest you look at the thread "Pro -no pilot voices"? That has lots of advice and is better than starting yet another thread for the same problem.

futureboy, are you OK? Your posts used to be a good source of information for Tower newbies and I learned a lot from you but recently your posts just seem to take pot shots at everyone else. Where is the real RickyJ and what have you done with him? Best, Wayne

Nick, Are you running tower3d.exe as an administrator? That fixes the vast majority of voice issues. Wayne

Yes, I have used that command successfully. However, I do not get a consistent first hit, sometimes it takes 2 or 3 goes to get the voice recognition to give me the correct response. I use 'niner'.

Cheer up RickyJ, life's too short & this forum is both enlightening & entertaining. Best, Wayne

I was yesterday and I will be today! I love my job and they pay me to do it! Wayne

Ricky, it is not a personal preference. As a military fast jet pilot I have spent many many half-days in ATC towers as a duty pilot or duty instructor and have seen the wind read out displays change with modernisation over the decades and I have never seen a display that shows where the wind is going to, it is always where it is coming from. The idea of it replicating a windsock is fallacious, those devices are for pilots about to take-off or land, they are not for ATC controllers who use a display unlike that depicted in Pro. My earlier posts (as is this one) were attempts to explain the standard that I have seen in towers during my flying career, not a personal preference. All the best, Wayne

If that is not KLGA my eyes are deceiving me.

Oh those photos are big! Sorry, I didn't realise how they would look until I posted them. It looks like I'm shouting but I can assure you that I am not. ?

Finally got around to this. I agree with 707FAN that in a cockpit the wind is often indicated by an arrow. A very small section of the display in my aircraft is below showing the direction arrow and a speed of 15kts. But if there is not a full arrowhead & tail the direction shown is where the wind is coming from, see other photo (from a ground display) with "286" digitally and the 286 visually with the red light on the compass rose. The wind indicator in Pro still is, for me, the wrong way around (or it needs a tail).

Thanks Gabor!

Kev, I simply put my mouse cursor on the edge of the window and left click/drag the window just like any Windows window. Wayne

Thanks for the tip!

Craig, Just like Andrew wrote above, I also prefer the 'stretched across 2 monitors' setup. Firstly because of the "more immersive" experience Andrew mentions and secondly because I gave up with the repeatedly closing windows (mainly the strip window) when they were on a separate monitor. When using the 'stretched' layout the information windows do not continually keep closing which for me made the '2 different monitor setup' almost unusable. I also now put the info windows on the outside edges of the displays as Craig mentioned. I wish that Pro would remember the last layout used so I don't have to set it up every time I go up into the tower. Wayne You wanted us to use first names. How's that Vic?

You are welcome. I would strongly recommend getting Pro, the original version is for kids!! ????

Good news about RT at last from Nyerges (via FeelThere).
