  1. FeelThere/NyergesDesign,

    The following fault has occurred twice today I have attached the game.log for the second occurrence.

    At 14:27:35 I cleared DHMCR for takeoff with an embedded contact departure instruction.

    At 14:27:37 the 'pilot' responded to my instruction with "Runway 7 cleared for takeoff upon reaching altitude 1000 contact departure DHMCR"

    DHMCR then took off, disappeared from the DBRITE but never appeared on the ADIRS, it simply vanished.

    Then at 14:35:14 "You forgot to send the DHMCR to departure -100 pts".

    It's not my fault it turned on its Klingon Cloaking Device!

  2. Yesterday I played EDDS in 4 segments covering 0600 to 1000.  My initial thoughts of poor RT schedules were confirmed by the following:

    From the schedule file only 75% of flights spawned, so 25% failed to appear. From the GA & local file only 46% of flights spawned so a 56% failure rate.

    There are other schedule errors such as:

    In RL the TUI flights are operated by TUI fly Deutschland not the UK arm so the codes & callsigns are incorrect; in RL the KLM flights are operated by KLM Cityhopper not KLM main; there are no cargo flights in the schedule; many airlines are missing and a quick look at the Stuttgart Airport website for flights today show Tarom, Corendon Airlines, Finnair, Condor, Fly Egypt, Flybmi, Orange2fly, Laudamotion, TAP Air Portugal, Freebird, Air Serbia, Twin Jet, Iberia Express - none of which is in the "Real Traffic" for EDDS.

    There are other errors but I think I've made my point.

  3. Hi FeelThere,

    My early forays into EDDS, plus those of my international friends, suggest 8 reasons for an SP:

    1. Runway 07 appears Out Of The Window (OOTW) as 17R.

    2. Runway 25 appears OOTW as 34R.

    3. OOTW all runway hold short line markings are missing.

    4. All jetways are missing as reported by @AirJamaica

    5. There may be a problem with the cargo terminal as reported by @jonas243

    6. Plus I'll add the incorrect colour of the parking bay markings which in T3D are red but Google Earth/Maps show in white (see the picture below for the incorrect red lines).

    7. The 07 threshold is not displaced as in RL as reported by @DeltaVII

    8. The lack of acceptability for heavy aircraft as reported by @hexzed (which I accept may be a problem with RT).

    Throw in the very poor Real Traffic add-on plus the initial incorrect links (to RC KMEM) on the FeelThere website and, to say the least, I am somewhat disappointed in the product given how long this airport has been in the pipeline.

    Sorry, but for me EDDS is 'a swing and a miss'.

  4. Can someone check the following please?  Just to make sure I haven't got a corrupt installation of EDDS.

    1. Runway 07 is marked as 17R, see photo below.  Runway 25 is marked as 34R.

    2. There are no runway hold short markings anywhere on the airport, but aircraft do stop before entering the runway.

    Thanks.

    EDDS Errors 07-min.png

  5. Right, this is what has annoyed me.  I see it as lazy, unprofessional and unbecoming in a commercially sold product.  There are quite a few errors in "Real Traffic" but this one gets under my skin.

    There are multiple uses of the same aircraft registration in the edds_gaandlocaltraffic file.  That would be OK to reflect, for example, an arrival of an aircraft and its departure; however, this is not the case for many lines in the "Real Traffic" addon for EDDS. Using just one example of many, have a look at the following 6 lines:

    EDDS, EDSB, 06:15, PL2, DHHSA, 0, 1, 0, DHHSA, DELTA HOTEL HOTEL SIERRA ALPHA
    EDSB, EDDS, 06:16, CJ5, DHHSA, 0, 0, 0, DHHSA, DELTA HOTEL HOTEL SIERRA ALPHA
    EDDS, EDDM, 07:05, H25, DHHSA, 0, 0, 0, DHHSA, DELTA HOTEL HOTEL SIERRA ALPHA
    EDDS, EDZF, 08:59, BEC, DHHSA, 0, 0, 0, DHHSA, DELTA HOTEL HOTEL SIERRA ALPHA
    EDSB, EDDS, 13:47, SR2, DHHSA, 0, 0, 0, DHHSA, DELTA HOTEL HOTEL SIERRA ALPHA
    EDDM, EDDS, 15:08, DF9, DHHSA, 0, 0, 0, DHHSA, DELTA HOTEL HOTEL SIERRA ALPHA

    1. So "Real Traffic" uses of the registration D-HHSA for 6 different aircraft types!  A quick search on the web shows that D-HHSA is actually a Robinson R22 Beta II helicopter.

    2. The timings conflict, the first line has PL2 D-HHSA off chocks at Stuttgart at 0615 but then it also calls up for arrival just 1 minute later as a CJ5.

    3. It is not even dep/arr/dep/arr/dep/arr; it is dep/arr/dep/dep/arr/arr so it departs twice before arriving twice.

    I'm sure these problems will result in some aircraft 'no shows' as will the other multiple-use of aircraft registrations.  Very disappointing. Laziness? Amateurish? But not "Real Traffic".

    BTW, the first "Delta" in the callsign can be dropped just like the "November" for US registered GA.  I have modified my callsigns but have used snips from the original "Real Traffic" file above.

    @hexzed  Ben, I'm looking forward to your custom schedule!

  6. The B733_ag ahows up in ASL Airliines livery.  But why the skin is in the texpack but not the schedule only Gabor can say.  While examining the files I did notice something that annoyed me, I'll post it separately below.

  7. No problems VG, your information is normally first class.

    Changing the subject slightly, I am a little perplexed by the inclusion in RC EDDS of the B733_ag.  There are no AG flights in edds_schedule and in edds_airlines it links to ASL Airlines Ireland (ABR), but according to the IATA website the AG code is allocated to Aruba Airlines (ARU).  I'll add a few AG flights to the schedule and see what turns up.

    VenturaGuy101,

    Your list is mainly correct but the A5 E170 is HOP (HOP! Air France) not RLA Airlinair.

    Also included in Texpack 15 (and not in your list) are: A319_he.jpg / A320_he.jpg / DH8D_he.jpg / A321_8q.jpg / B733_ag.jpg
     

  9. Gabor,

    I don't think the following flights in kmem_schedule.txt can appear either:

    EWR, MEM, ER4, C5, 4917, 21:57, 12:00, 1, C5

    EWR, MEM, ER4, C5, 4916, 16:49, 12:00, 1, C5

    MEM, EWR, ER4, C5, 4913, 12:00, 17:50, 1, C5

    MEM, EWR, ER4, C5, 4932, 12:00, 16:09, 1, C5

    This is because there is no corresponding UCA in kmem_terminal.txt

     

  10. Gabor,

    I don't think the following flights in kmem_schedule.txt can appear:

    BFM, MEM, AB6, FX,  860, 09:58, 12:00, 1, FX

    BFM, MEM, AB6, FX, 1350, 22:16, 12:00, 1, FX

    MEM, BFM, AB6, FX,  746, 12:00, 16:16, 1, FX

    MEM, BFM, AB6, FX, 1526, 12:00, 03:48, 1, FX

    This is because there is no BFM airport in kmem_airports.txt as there seems to be an error with this line:

    BMF MOBILE_AL_USA                             30.37 N  88.04 W KBFM

    I think it all should be fixed by changing that line to: 

    BFM MOBILE_AL_USA                             30.37 N  88.04 W KBFM

  11. Kev M,

    You are not wrong mate and Craig is also spot on.  IMHO far too many of the threads on this forum are because of:

    1. Installation problems; smart installers from the software developers are a must.

    2. Voice recognition/sound problems; what guidance on this matter comes with the email confirming your purchase of T3D? Nil?  I couldn't get it to work until this forum got me through the setup stages.

    3. How to get any updates; where in the purchase process does it tell the buyer to keep the original download links to get any future upgrades?

    These are 3 key areas where I think FT & ND are letting customers down; great products not so well supported.  How many people have bought T3D and have had one of these 3 problems but are unaware of this forum with its cluster of knowledgeable & helpful members?  I shudder to think.

    A bit more support/information with the original purchase would go a long way with more happy customers, fewer pleas for help, and a boost to the customer satisfaction levels with FT & ND.

    Vic/Ariel/Gabor:

    This post is a bit of tough love and meant with the best of intentions.  But what about a 'Welcome to T3D email' for new purchasers with clear advice on installations, voice recognition setups, etc?  But don't worry, I'll keep buying your products as they give me days of fun getting them to work!! 🙂

    Wayne, this is not a BMT Micro issue.

    If you look at your Pro and airport receipts, you'll notice there is not an expiration date. FeelThere has wisely chosen not to implement an expiration date. However, the same cannot be said for Nyerges Design as they've decided to implement an expiration date on their RT and RC products. A very baffling decision since RT is constantly updated which ultimately requires every customer to contact BMT Micro as some point tin time. 

    Craig,

    Many thanks for your explanation.

    Gabor,

    Can you have a look at changing the Nyerges Design process with BMT Micro?  These expiring links are annoying especially with time zone differences and weekend differences that add further delays to getting the latest versions of the addons.

    Thanks, Wayne

  13. If @AirJamaica is correct the "Current Versions Sheet" has yet to be updated as well, and what about Real Traffic? Has that been updated?

    I cannot verify that either RC KLAX or RT has been updated as I am waiting for BMT Micro to refresh my links, once again. Surely there has to be a more user friendly way than having links that constantly expire? Come on BMT Micro, think of a better way!
