Hi guys, Could you kindly give an update on the progress of the KJFK SP for Pro? Thanks!

?????

Vic, In a perfect world I would love to meet up with the FeelThere team and the other members of this forum. I am sure it would be a really enjoyable & interesting event. Sadly, I think real world logistics would significantly reduce attendance pssibilities. If the 'locations' of members of this forum are correct you seem to have customers from all over the world so travel, even for such a potentially great meeting of FT friends, might be too difficult. My family home is thousands of miles from where I work so a trip to chat with my T3D sim buddies instead of going home would not go down well at home. May I propose the first meeting is at KATL? (How about that for an idea Avwriter?!?! ?)

Mikem, Don't worry, the Real Color packs work for Pro and original flavour T3D. They have not been updated for Pro because the original RC ad-ons still work. Edit: it looks like I was typing at the same time of Avwriter! Oh well, 2 replies are better than none.

I have just downloaded KSAN again, and I see the same as KI408 - i.e. no obvious Pro file. If I assume that the SP2 file dated yesterday is for Pro then it is disappointing that when going for the install the default directory is "FeelThere/Tower 3D" not "FeelThere/Tower!3D Pro". Incorrect default install folders are the cause of a significant number of pleas for help on this forum. I feel for those customers who do not know that this forum exists. Vic & team, I stand with KI408 in requesting clarification and I ask for better default install routing in future upgrades & add-ons. (It's still a great sim though!!!!!) ?

"Go around" works for me, I then hand them to Departures and off they just like a T after take-off, once they disappear of the side of the DBRITE they reappear for another approach. I don't use the "change" command but if I want them to land on a different runway I tell them to "Enter final runway xx".

Well said. One step at a time to make a great simulation perfect.

Yes, yes, yes please! I could not agree more. Gabor, if you read this please tell us a 2017 version of RT & RC is on the way.

I echo HarryCYUL's comments. It is a brilliant piece of software which will never get boring. Great job FeelThere! (Just wish Nyerges Design would bring RT up to date).

Sweet! I wonder if Vic noticed?

No I don't believe im miracles. But in this case crbascott I'm willing to suspend belief! Good job!

Ahh, Avwriter ... I'd forgotten you are a KATL enthusiast!

Perhaps slightly off topic, but at KATL taxiway "D" is called "Dixie" because of the vast number of Delta Airlines traffic. What can we expect in the KATL add-on? Delta or Dixie?

I did 48 starts at KSAN, two for each selectable hour, and not once did I have a wind with a westerly component. I think that there is a line of code that needs rewriting.

Yes. I only use random weather and I have only ever seen winds with an easterly component never a westerly.

This has been suggested several times over the past year in this forum. I hope it will eventually come to fruition.

Vic, I don't know why but I have an approx 50% success rate with the automatic launch of speech recognition. When it fails to launch I hear the clicks when I press and release left shift but no words appear in the window and it is obvious that the program does not hear me. When I launch speech recognition manually I have a 100% success rate. My system is Windows 10 Pro, version 1607, OS build 14393.693, 64 bit. I guess having a 50% hit rate is going to make an investigation almost impossible. W

Mike, I'm glad my suggestion helped you to enjoy Vic's brilliant piece of software. w

Mike, I only joined the party at T3D so I don't know anything about T2011 speech recognition, but for Pro it works well for me when I start my Windows 10 speech recognition from the control panel before I start Pro. Have you tried that?

watsonjd, i do not know what nolli1962's mistake was but when I had the same problem last week the advice given in this forum was to run the tower3d.exe file as an administrator and that fixed it for me.

Real Traffic desperately needs updating, but as far as I'm aware Nyerges Design doesn't have a forum such as this where we can express our views. I hope Gabor reads this and can give us his thoughts on updating RT airlines & schedules. In RT there are nearly 200 US Air flights at KPHL but the only person using that livery and the Cactus callsign is Tom Hanks!

You can tweak the schedules in RT you simply edit the schedule.txt file in the extensions/airfields folder for the airport using Notepad or WordPad. It is really easy. I also edit the terminal.txt files in the same way.

Make sure RT installs to your 3D Pro folder not the legacy 3D folder.

RickyJ, You are correct with your assumptions of the handover of aircraft between Ground & Tower controllers. But there are a few wrinkles around the world. 1. If an aircraft taxiing with Ground has to cross the active runway it should switch to Tower to request clearance to cross, then report runway vacated and switch back to Ground. 2. At some airports this frequency switch is negated by the aircraft staying on Ground, requesting clearance to cross, then Ground coordinates with Tower, approves the crossing, aircraft reports vacated, Ground informs Tower. 3. At a smaller number of airports permission is also required to cross inactive runways. It has been a long time since I went to KSAN so I don't know if they use option 1 or option 2 for north side traffic.

I like the addition of the wind indicator in Pro but the arrow is 180 degrees out. The arrow should point into wind not point downwind. So if the needle is pointing at, say, 270 then a runway closest to 27 should be in use. But in Pro if the needle points at 270 then runway 09 should be in use which is counter intuitive.
