[KFJK Problems]

I disagree with a standard approach. If the Cessnas of our simulated world had the same performance as our 777s that would be ridiculous.  I prefer to let Gabor adjust things for us, if an aircraft does something strange if we tell him I'm sure he will fix it with the next patch, we are on SP6 already so he does work hard to make things better for us 3D fans.

[ANNOUNCING KSAN FOR TOWER!3D AND REAL COLOR FOR KSAN]

The tower in 3D is just across the road from the front doors of terminal 2 east not north of the runway between the north ramp and the air cargo ramp as at the actual airport. Unless there is a new tower since I was last at KSAN, it seems Vic has moved it for a reason as yet unexplained. It doesn't stop the fun though!

[KSAN downloaded]

Now waiting for RC for KSAN. 

[christmas list done]

Vic!  Awesome news, I hope the "major,major release" is Tower!3DProPlus with triple monitor support and thought control.  I can't wait!  

[KSMF - nearly a huuuuge mistake]

You make a very good point Craig.  I hope Pro is a giant leap forward from 'normal' 3D, it certainly has the potential to be brilliant with the features you mention.

[KSMF - nearly a huuuuge mistake]

Earlier today I saw on the FeelThere website that KSMF was available plus the RC add on. With great excitement I thought they were Vic's & Gabor's latest pieces of genius .... then I realised it was for the people that still think the world is flat (Tower 2011). How our knowledge of the world expands!

OMG! Vic & the team have made my day. Maybe even my week!

[KJFK for Tower3D v3.0 is available]

Vic,

Can we just click & install over the top of v2? Or should we uninstall v2 first? Can we leave RC & RT alone or do we need to do anything with those add ons? 

I am still looking forward very much to Pro!

Thanks for the excellent work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Real Color KJFK for Tower! 3D]

I received the promised email from those lovely people at Nyerges Design on Sunday afternoon. Downloaded, installed, tested, looks good!

[Real Color KJFK for Tower! 3D]

I'm looking forward to it. Thanks Nyerges!

[Real Color KJFK for Tower! 3D]

Thanks for the post, but how do those of us that downloaded the first 3 Real Color packs before the bundle was released get the free link as you promised?

[RT SP 4 is available !]

Thanks for listening (reading?) Vic.

[RT SP 4 is available !]

Vic & co + nyergesdesign,

What do you guys think?  A list somewhere with the latest versions?  It may be too expensive/difficult but we have all opened something on our computers / consoles / tablets / phones and have seen a message similar to "A newer version is available. Do you want to download?"  Is that possible?  

[RT SP 4 is available !]

Harvester,

That might work but I really don't think we should be downloading updates almost by accident/luck/random, or whatever we might call it.

[RT SP 4 is available !]

mc16v,

 

You are a funny guy!  (Or woman, I'm not The Donald!)

[RT SP 4 is available !]

I found that SP 4 to RT fixes the landing lights problem and is available for download from a nyergesdesign post buried in a thread titled "Tower 3d LAX schedule issue". Why oh why do nyergesdesign & feelthere not announce updates more clearly? What about the poor sops who don't belong to this forum? How would they know there is an update?

FT & ND, you make great products and update them often. Why keep it a secret?

[Tower: Schedule Creator 24 V1 Released (Includes CYYZ)]

Many thanks for a quick response dickparker, everything is a lot clearer to me now. That terminal file will be in my folder within seconds!!

[Tower: Schedule Creator 24 V1 Released (Includes CYYZ)]

I only joined this party at T!3D, I have never seen T2011 and I am slowly learning the ropes. I have a number of questions about schedules if anyone would be kind enough to answer them:

1. Taking one line from an earlier post on this page as an example -   "JFK, RDU, CR7, G7, 4254, 12:00, 13:36, 1, G7" - Why are there 2 time blocks? Why is the first time block always 12:00? What is the importance of the digit "1"? Why is the airline code repeated at the end of the data line?

2. In the klax_terminal file there are no airline codes against TBIT.  Does this mean that any airline not listed against another terminal is automatically asigned to TBIT?

(I have T!3D SP2a/ RC SP2 / RT SP3 and have not amended any of the files. Yet!)

Thanks!

[Uninstal.exe conflict for RT_Tower3D and KJFK_for Tower3D]

futureboy,

I'm also old and so reading you email filled me with dread. However, I had uninstalled KJFK and reinstalled the new version successfully - perhaps by accident? I went through my aviation career with the mantra "I'd rather be lucky than good". Clearly it still applies to this day!

Best,

 

[KJFK SP HAS BEEN RELEASED]

Vic & co,

Thank you for an extremely informative post. The title gives a clear indication that an SP is available and I for one think that is brilliant. The instructions on how to download & install are very helpful to a newbie like me. The explanation of the root cause is very honest & enlightening. I have seen spinners at LAX so I hope all spinners will be illuminated in the future with your code change. I delete the very small number of spinning aircraft that I find but what would happen if I did not? Would they spin for ever or would they pushback correctly when departure time arrives?

Keep up the good work.

[Tower 3d LAX schedule issue.]

There's an SP3 for T3D?  When did that come out? What does it fix? Or are you living up to your name futureboy?

[Problem With Real Color at KPHL]

Hi to all at nyergesdesign & feelthere,

Great products but I have a suggestion. When an SP is available is there any chance you could start a new thread with a title such as "SP2 now available for KPHL". Or it could be made clear on the feelthere website if you two developers coordinated better.  It would be a quick notification that an improved product is available without us have read every message in every thread and finding improvements are available almost by accident. Both ND & FT should be proud of their products and should shout out the improvements to those of us locked in dark rooms trying to keep an airport running smoothly in a thunderstorm!

[T3D LAX Runway Configuration]

Hi  Alcahuete,

I am new to this simulation and there are plenty on this forum with more expertise but I think I have the answers to your questions.

There are 2 methods. Firstly, om the Main Menu screen you can set the arrival runways by clicking on the blue circles on the overhead image of the airport. So at LAX you could select 24R and 25L with white circles making sure all other circles for the other runways are blue.  All traffic should then wish to arrive on the 2 selected runways. In game you can send an arriving aircraft to a different runway by instructing it to "Enter Final" then click on the desired runway.

I hope that helps. Now the experts can correct my advice!

[Spinning plane at LAX Tbit]

I have seen something similar with DLH 456 an A388 which taxied to TBIT as normal, seemed to park correctly at the gate, then began a slow 360 degree rotation on the spot with the aircraft magically going through the terminal building. I would have taken a screenshot or video clip but it was raining heavily at LAX so it would not have made a clear image.

[Tower3D+Real Traffic+Real Color=SWEET!!]

I completely agree. T3D + RT + RC is what I have been waiting for. I am now going to spend far too long at each of the 4 airports in rotation. More airports are eagerly anticipated but not as much as Pro, I hope we don't have to wait too long. If the little niggles in this simulation can be fixed it is going to be awesome!
