[AIRLINES LIST - one update]

John,

Real Traffic does include that cargo airline, it is in the airlines text files for KSFO and KPHX. 

KSFO has the B762 & B763 and KPHX has the B763, but a GTI B744F is not included.  If I remember correctly the B763 is in a bright yellow DHL livery, I haven't 'controlled' at  KSFO yet so I have yet to see the GTI B762.

[What new liveries are in RC KSFO?]

Craig,

I downloaded RT again, it is still sp6v5. I installed it again and the BAW 77L is still there at KSFO.  How can we have different schedules from the same download?

SFO, LHR, 77L, BA,  286, 12:00, 20:54, 1, BA

LHR, SFO, 77L, BA,  287, 18:31, 12:00, 1, BA

 

[What new liveries are in RC KSFO?]

I am using RT sp6v5, and that still has 77L in the schedule which is albino.  Am I missing something?

[What new liveries are in RC KSFO?]

Yes, the RT scheduled BAW 77L is albino.  If the schedule is amended to BAW 772 a livery appears.  See photos attached.

Nyerges Design please fix this error, thank you.

[What new liveries are in RC KSFO?]

There are 2 BAW aircraft in the texpack for RC KSFO: B744 & B772.  However, in the schedule are the 744 (OK) and the 77L (not OK, no texpack).

[BOS winds qustion]

Craig,

I agree to your disagreements.  However, I prefer to use random weather so I have to cope with whatever the sim gives me and I like to run one 24-hour cycle (in bite sized pieces) at one airport before moving on to another. However, the sim's random winds seem to be overly strong and do not reflect prevailing winds so the RL preferred runway configurations are often unworkable.  Shall we end this here to avoid boring the other forum members? :)

Wayne

[BOS winds qustion]

Craig,

Again I disagree with you (this is becoming a habit). Aircraft will not taxi to a runway with a strong tailwind factor "Take-off is delayed, the crosswind is too high" and on short finals after being cleared to land on a runway with a strong tailwind the aircraft do not land "Going around, the crosswind is too high".  So in this sim the wind does have an effect which is why it is so annoying that it seems to be modelled incorrectly.
Wayne

[BOS winds qustion]

Craig,

For once I disagree with you :)

When I ignore the annoyingly non-prevailing and overly strong winds that are all to common in T3DP when random weather is selected I often get pilots refusing to taxi because the “crosswind is too high” (that should be tailwind). Also aircraft go around from short finals for the same reason. It is a rather annoying ‘feature’ of the simulation that Is high on my ‘please fix list’.

They also said that the first euro airport would be world renowned so i take that as the busiest single runway airport in the world.  

A great leap of logic, but maybe you are correct. Time will tell.

Hi jonas243, 

Thanks for the edit, I understand your meaning now buddy :)

[Hold Short Lines JFK]

ml0130,

From the FT webpage about Real Traffic: "Real world schedule, airline and visual model for Tower! 3D. The Real Air Traffic add-on brings realistic worldwide schedule for Tower! 3D"

If that actually said truthfully "An add-on from at least 7 years ago (from Tower 2011) with a slightly updated package that is OK but has many errors" would you buy it?

I would not, but that's what we've got.

Imagine how quiet the forum would be if they did :-)

And if Nyerges updated RT as well .... silence. :) :)

jonas243,

I'm sorry but I understand the words you type but I haven't a clue what you mean (until you edited your post, that is).

Anyhoo, did you see this posted by Vic?

"Did anyone say EDDS?"

[international airport]

Not EDDS then? Which Vic gave very strong hints about. What led you to believe it was EGKK? Please share your evidence.

[KSFO Real Traffic]

aviator87,

You say you bought RT before KFSO came out so you must have an RT version without KSFO so you need to re-download RT with your original download link. The latest version of RT is RT_Tower3D_PRO_sp6v5 which has the RT files for KSFO.

[Tower 3D Pro - What dictates the Airlines.txt files ?]

Wouldn't it be better if Nyerges updated their RT airlines files? Now there's a radical idea :)

[SP for KJFK HAS BEEN RELEASED]

 and added GA to the airport.

 

However, the kjfk_gaandlocaltraffic file in RT_Tower3D_PRO_sp6v5 is empty of GA traffic.

Nyerges?  Do you have a plan?

[T3DPro KLAS Winds Incorrectly Modelled]

Many thanks Ariel!

[T3DPro KLAS Winds Incorrectly Modelled]

Ariel,

Which list have you added it to?  If it is Tower 3DX that is too far in the future and it should be fixed sooner so an SP for KLAX or an SP for the current T3D.  Your comments are ambiguous.

[T3DPro KLAS Winds Incorrectly Modelled]

Hi FT,

I have just played a 24-hour cycle at KLAS spread over a few sessions and I was hardly ever able to use the ATC preferred  runway configuration 1 which is arrival runways 19R & 25L with departures from 19L and 25R. The prevailing winds are depicted in the diagrams below taken from windhistory.com/station.html?KLAS and are clearly southwesterly which is why the preferred runway config 1 is the most commonly used:

 

So I did a quick test by starting KLAS 50 times (twice per selectable hour plus 2 more 00:00 starts to round the sample up to 50).  I noted the winds at game start and highlighted in yellow those winds that were southwesterly (generously from 180 to 270); there were exactly zero starts with southwesterly winds.  If I then took the reciprocal of the T3DP start winds and highlighted those that were now southwesterly in yellow there were 34, so 68%. See this table:

From the average speed 'rose' it seems the average windspeed at KLAS is just under 10kts but in my 50 T3DP starts the average was in excess of 18kts. (I do chuckle at the wind speed in T3DP being 3 digits (e.g. 015) as if a wind of 100+kts could be expected!)

When I try to select a preferred runway but the program wind is not compatible the 'pilots' say "The crosswind is too high" but the crosswind is not the problem, correctly it should be that the tailwind is too high. 

I have not looked for this at other airports, but when I have time I will.

Please add this onto the list of things to fix with a KLAS SP (or a T3DP SP if that is appropriate).

Thanks FT,

Wayne

[Tracon!2012:SE DXB Sector Manual]

Hi FeelThere,

I bought the Tracon!2012:SE bundle through Steam. When I click on the link for 'DXB Sector manual' it opens the ATL Sector manual instead, all the other links work correctly.  I have reported this to Steam and their response was "contact FeelThere".  

So, could someone please fix the link as the DXB sector is unusable without tower & center frequencies and a sector diagram.

Thanks, Wayne

EDIT: Just found the DXB sector manual within the program.  But the Steam link still needs fixing.

[Steam update 2/20]

And with great fanfare FT announce a new version of T3DPro is available.  Or maybe not.

Why don't they tell us this sort of info?  Why do we have to keep downloading just in case there has been an update? Surely there is a better way than this?

Come on FT, where is the sticky or email to all T3DP customers informing us of your good work? :)

Pleasure. :)

Northwest Airlines merged with Delta in 2008; the last Northwest flight was in January 2010.  KLM does not have an 'alliance' with Air France as the airlines merged in 2004 and are owned by Air France - KLM S.A.

Delta, Air France and KLM are all members of Sky Team. There's your alliance.

[two monitor issue]

Can I suggest that the detached windows may be on the original monitor behind the T3D window?  If that is happening, just drag them to the second monitor once and the system remembers for next time.  If that is not the issue I'm all out of ideas.
