  1. Kev, Tower3D! reads the xxxx.schedule.txt file and, using your example above, it would be something akin to: VIE, BCN, 320, OE, 322, 12:00, 08:45, 1, OE (The schedule must be written using 2-letter IATA airline codes.) Then Tower3D! reads the xxxx_airlines.txt file which converts the 2-letter IATA code into the 3-letter ICAO airline code: LDM, OE, LAUDA MOTION, Laudamotion, Austria So OE 322 from the schedule becomes LDM 322 which is then seen on the flight strips and command window. The single flight number is the one from the schedule file so, in your example, either 322 or 77. You can add a letter (in this case U) in the schedule file and it will appear on the flight strips and in the command window but TTS and voice recognition ignores it. In a similar manner the 3-letter IATA airport codes used in the schedule are converted into 4-letter ICAO aiport codes, to be displayed within the game, by the xxxx_airports.txt file, for example: BCN BARCELONA_SPAIN 41.18 N 2.05 E LEBL Why this mix and necessary conversion from IATA to ICAO codes? Only the developers can answer. Why each airport folder needs its own airlines & airports file instead of single lookup files for all airports defeats me. More items for the next version? Wayne
  2. No problem, it's buried within the 1,000s of posts on this forum. @nyergesdesign could you fix the Falcon aircraft within RT so it takes-off please?
  3. It's not an issue with runway 20. The problem is within Real Traffic and with that particular aircraft that never gets airborne; if on approach and told to go around it plummets to the ground. This particular aircraft fault has been reported many times but clearly is still not fixed.
  4. Despite all of the positive comments, including from the developers, it turns out that this thread was a waste of time.
  5. @Tandy Allen My advice, for what it's worth, is to make sure that RT & KSFO are installed into your main Tower 3D folder. This sounds obvious but the installers (particularly add on airports) do not always come up with the correct installation path.
  6. Agreed Ben. @huskytech can you pad out your question with a few more details please?
  7. If the runway is too short the aircraft replies with "Negative, the runway is too short"; and if the wind is out of limits the aircraft replies with "Negative, the crosswind is too high" (even if it is the tailwind component that is out of limits but the crosswind component is not).
  8. @nyergesdesign You haven't forgotten this have you Gabor?
  9. As the originator of the thread "Real Color - A New Concept", and as FeelThere and Gabor both responded positively to my idea of looking ahead to the next RC package I am expecting the following to happen: Gabor will post his list of RC content for the next airport to be released (EGKK or LEBL?) and invite this community, especially those fine members that write custom schedules, to request additions before the RC packages are released for sale. Will that happen? Only time will tell.
  10. So there appears not to be a rule that all heavies use the northern runway, and as 1.2.2 of the link provided by scoobflight states: The use of RWY 25R is restricted to those ACFT that can justify the need for a RWY length longer than on RWY 25L, being mandatory to carry out a conventional departure procedure. The justification must be submitted to APT Operations within a period of 7 calendar days from the date of operation. The use of RWY 07L for take-off is restricted to those ACFT that can justify the need for a RWY length longer than RWY 07R being mandatory to carry out a conventional departure procedure. The justification must be submitted to APT Operations within a period of 7 calendar days from the date of operation. So in the two examples I posted earlier the AAL B777-223(ER) has a 10 hour flight ahead of it and the ETD A330-243 has only a 6 hour flight. Take-off masses are probably somewhat different not least because of the individual fuel load requirements, a parameter that is not taken into account by T3D.
  11. This morning Barcelona is using its preferential daytime configuration, i.e. parallel westerly runways. 25L is being used for the majority of take-offs but have a look at the screenshot below for a heavy.
  12. I think the T3D product has fantastic potential, but the most recent release of EDDS was very disappointing and if there was any assessment of the product before release it was poor, shoddy & wrong. No jetways, the runways markings completely incorrect, no hold short markings, plus other faults. How the heck did that airport pass QC/QA release? It does not inspire confidence in any new releases.
  13. Awesome! Enjoy the game buddy! Wayne
  14. Lee, The first thing to try is to run the tower3d.exe file as an administrator so to do that right click on the icon and select 'Run as administrator'. That may fix a lot of your problems. See how that goes and we can take it from there. (By 'we' I mean the helpful members of this forum!). Wayne
  15. Vic, Is there an SP for EDDS in the pipeline? Wayne
  16. Here are my requests: RC_KJFK_Livery_Requests_winsaudi.xlsx
  17. @Braf123456 is correct. If FT keep publishing airports with the same faults then customers are going to walk away from this product (as is evident in other threads). I personally think that the latest airport, EDDS, is the worst release yet. @FeelThere @FeelThere Ariel Is it really your business plan to keep dumping airports for T3D onto the market with so many acknowledged problems? Saying that such game engine deficiencies will not be fixed until the next version of Tower yet still releasing airports is disrespecting your customers. Is that a great plan for sales growth and an expanding customer base? I think not. Wayne
  18. Many thanks for being so helpful Gabor!
  19. Hello all, I would like to propose a new way of running up to an airport release. As well as asking for RC released packages to be updated, KJFK is the current package under review, why don't we look ahead? When FeelThere announce which airport will be released next, those community spirited members that write custom schedules could look ahead and ask Nyerges Design to include a list of their required aircraft/livery combinations before the RC package is released. If Nyerges Design is willing to work this way, think of the benefits for all of us. No more white aircraft or changed aircraft in custom schedules. Thoughts anyone? Especially from Gabor at ND who would have to produce an expanded RC pack to include the custom requests. Wayne
  20. Gabor, I gave a DF9 a go around instruction at 300 ft and it climbed to circa 1000 ft then slowly sank to the ground. There is definitely something wrong in the DF9 characteristics.
  21. Craig, I apologise for my poor terminology, they did not spawn and the log recorded "no free terminal".
