Vic, I also see this 'feature' of Tower 3D Pro. My specs are: Intel i7-7820HK, 32GB RAM, & NVidia GeForce GTX 1080; if they are not man enough for the job what is? Wayne

Have you installed the latest version of Real Traffic? Version sp6v6 is the only one with a RT schedule for EDDM.

Hi Ariel, Many thanks for "listening" to us all. I look forward to this listing as it will be very useful. Best, Wayne

Hi Craig, Yes I did, and several others (come on Nyerges Design, please update your packages!) but the game's recent cruel torture of the callsigns Dolomiti and Aegean forced me into print to stop human suffering! I can feel a Nobel Peace Prize in my future. Wayne :)

A couple more: I changed "Condor" to "Condoor" and it is pronounced correctly. I also changed "Tomson" to "Tui Fly" because Thomsonfly, as listed in the airlines file, ceased operations in 2008 and became Thomson Airways which in turn ceased in 2017 and is now re-branded as Tui Airways. Two hours of EDDM with new airlines and it's a pleasure not hearing the callsign "Southwest" every couple of minutes! ;)

Ariel, How do we the users know that we have "all the current and updated versions of the game and the DLCs"? There is no consolidated list, no sticky, no emails, nothing. Add to the mix that your updates and releases are let out stealthily and it means the only way I can ensure that all 23 of my T3D install files are "current and updated" is by blindly trying to download every single one of them on the off chance that one of them has been updated since I last downloaded. Then, of course, I run into the "Password Blocked" hassle with the BMT Micro links which adds to the inefficiency. I have mentioned this several times before on this forum but as the number of T3D versions/airports/RC/RT updates continue to grow PLEASE can we have an easily accessible listing of each and every install file? As a sticky on this forum, as a listing on the website, as a group email I don't mind but we need something that is updated as soon as there is a change. Go on! You know it makes sense. Best, Wayne

Thomson on the livery, callsign "Tomson". Oh well, at least the callsign is easy to correct.

I've only dipped in and out of EDDM since I installed it today but some callsigns are weird or wrong. 1. I regularly fly on Air Dolomiti into EDDM (BTW their business class breakfasts are fantastic!) and I do not recognize the callsign as spoken in T3D, so I had a little investigation and the closest I can get to the real pronunciation is by changing the callsign in the eddm_airlines file to DOLLOMEETI. Not perfect but very close. 2. Another callsign that the text-to-speech engine mutates into something horrible is 'Aegean', the closest I can get to the correct sound is "A JEEAN". 3. RT has the callsign for Turkish Airlines as "TURK AIR" but I have changed it to the correct "TURKISH". 4. In the real world Pegasus Airlines flights use the callsign "SUN TURK" but in RT it is "SUNTRUCK" which is highly amusing and possibly quite appropriate :)

All of those airlines are already in the RT KSFO schedule. 2xAFR, 2xANA, 4xCES, 2xCSN, 2xEIN & 2xVIR flights are included.

Ariel, Many thanks for the info! Have you considered release/patch notes for each update so the we, your loyal but demanding customers :) , are informed on what has been improved? Wayne

The BMT link worked for me last week, KSFO_Tower!3D_SP1.

Tom, Contact BMT Customer Service: cservice@bmtmicro.com They are very helpful. Wayne

Craig, Thank you. FeelThere, I hate these stealth releases, here again it seems that those that bought through a 3rd party (Steam in this case) get updates before those that buy from your website (the loyal ones that give you a bigger margin) who get to 'suck the hind one'. Also, my question above still stands, what else has the SP fixed apart from stormy weather loading? Wayne

Ariel, So when was this SP released for non-Steam customers?I Is the stormy weather issue the only improvement? If not, what else does this SP change? Wayne

Barton, That is weird. In my experience using the original links downloads the latest version which is exactly as crbascott states above 'Tower3DProSP33c_installer.exe'. But fear not, Seth & Barb at BMT Micro set the bar for customer service. Wayne

B.Ross, download again using your original links from BMT Micro and you will get version 33c.

Craig, It seems we'll have nothing to talk about over our beer (or another refreshing beverage for the younger controllers). Oh well. Wayne

Aren't all of the airports available so far 'international'. I guess you mean 'non-US' but Vic has hinted that some are in the pipeline. But I'm with you on this, I also look forward to the release of an airport that is not in the US. Variety is the spice of .... T3D Pro.

Craig, I'm lucky enough to have a powerful Alienware system but I have not tried stormy weather at the airports listed by Beardy. I just trusted him when he reported a more widespread issue but Vic's solution was for one airport. Mine was not an evidenced based comment I will concede. Maybe one day we can chat about this over a beer? For younger readers, other refreshing beverages are available. Wayne

KMCO, airside 4.

Hi Vic, Given Beardy's comment that this 72% hanging issue is more widespread than just the Bay Area, what are the plans to fix it at KJFK, KLAS & KSAN? Wayne

cwalfy1 is correct, with this program you must "run as administrator" to hear the pilots' voices.

On December 26, 2017 FeelThere_AJ posted: Actually, the game is optimized for 6 Hours gameplay. Then on January 12, 2018 FeelThere (Vic) posted: This issue came up after the last SP because we got many requests for extending the original 6 hours gameplay to 8 hours. So since an SP released between those 2 dates the optimized game play has been increased by 2 hours, from 6 to 8.

VG101, I forgot about that, thanks for bringing it up. It is perhaps more important than my 'visuals'. Wayne

G'day Kev M, I don't know if Nyerges Design (ND) is a one-man show by Gabor or if he is part of a bigger team, but either way a bit of cross checking of liveries & models versus the schedule before publishing would prevent the sorts of errors that you mention. For example, why include a BAW 77L in the KSFO schedule without that model being included in the texpack resulting in albino aircraft? A simple cross check would have revealed that discrepancy. Now on to your suggestion which does have some merit, however ........ (here it comes!) if there is a visual difference between variants of one aircraft type I for one would like it included in RT & RC add-ons. Continuing with the example above, if there is an external difference between the B77L (777-200LR) and the B772 (777-200/200ER) let's have it in RT/RC. One of the best things about Tower 3D is, well, the 3D. That's one of the features that places it well above other ATC simulations, so why not take advantage of it? However, if there are no external differences then ND could have copied the BAW 772 model and renamed it BAW 77L and we would probably not be having this discussion. I hope that didn't come out as a rant (I do have those on this forum occasionally!!) but rather as an appeal for realism and better quality control by ND. Cheers Kev! Wayne
