Yes, this is a Steam only release for now. We'll see if we release it on ATCSuite in the future, but it was meant to be released on Steam.
Oh OK.
Looking at it now, I realize that SE may mean Steam Edition. At first I took it to mean Second Edition. :-)

Hi
I've been away for a while so my apologies if this is answered some where obvious. If it is I'm just not seeing it.
Will this be a Steam only release?
I looked on ATCSuite and didn't see it.
BTW, congrats on the new release. :-)
Thanks

Thanks for the reply futureboy.
Yes I've double checked my mouse software (razer) and it is set to default action.
Here's the odd thing: If I hold the middle mouse button down and move the mouse around, the view moves a little every now and then. It's as if the game is only seeing the mouse's middle button being pushed down only 1/50 of the time.
I'll keep messing with it when I have time.
BTW, The middle mouse button is registering fine in other games. I have another game which uses the same control scheme to scroll as tower3d and it's working fine.

Harvester, exactly my frustration. I have no interest in staring at the horizon and manually moving the mouse back to the takeoff end of the runway takes valuable time. In my opinion we need a view setting that does not move at all automatically only by mouse input.
Mike
I may have it worse than you Mike .... I can't pan away from any plane until I try issuing a command to another plane. :-)
Sometimes I can but it's doesn't happen very often.

Even thought the airplane is no longer under your command the camera will follow it until you use your middle-drag to change the camera's point of view. Sort of nudge out the camera from follow mode. Once you get a hang of it, please believe me you will like it, please give it a try.
Vic
The problem is that I can't pan away. Middle-Drag doesn't move the cam. It stays stuck on the last plane until I try to issue an order to another plane.
Sometimes out of the blue I'm suddenly able to pan the cam but it is with no rhyme or reason.
-
That's what I thought.
The problem is that even after clearing the aircraft, by backspace or shift, the camera is still focused on the last plane.
The only time I'm able to freely pan the cam is after releasing a departing aircraft to departure. But even that is iffy .... sometimes I'm stuck with the cam staring at the horizon until the next plane asks for pushback/landing clearance.

I just reinstalled with the same results.
I was careful to point rc to the airplanes directory.
For now RC is uninstalled. I'll try again next sp release.
I'm beginning to think Tower3d Pro doesn't like me. :-(
-
I'm not sure why but RC is really screwed up for me. I thought it just needed to be updated.
I've redownloaded just to make sure I have the latest version.
On some planes only one side is colored with the other half looking like it's bare aluminum. Most planes have some type of color glitch ....
I guess I'll try reinstalling everything and see if that helps. :-)

Harvester, I dont know if there is something wrong with my install then because as you say when the camera is lit it moves close to the action but even when not lit the camera moves slowly to the latest activity even though it does not change view position from tower. Please have a camera that does not follow anything automatically.
as for the blurry, did you change any graphics setting outside of Tower 3D in your graphics settings to get rid of the blurry. You mention Antialiasing, but thats (from the top of my head now since I am at work) not a setting within Tower3D? In any case, I already have max settings in Tower3D and still blurry.
mike
Sry Mike I misunderstood. You are correct in that the camera is always centered on the selected/last aircraft. It doesn't zoom in for action shots like it does when the cam icon is lit, but it does pan the Tower view as the aircraft moves.
I could have sworn that there was a way of escaping out of this into a 'free cam', but I took some time off from playing Tower3d so I'm really not sure if I'm remembering correctly. Maybe someone else can help out.
As far as Antialiasing .... The setting is in the advanced settings. To my eye some of the newer ones really make everything blurry. I usually just turn it off. :-)
Good Luck with it.
-
If the little camera icon is lit then you will get close ups of the action.
Make sure the camera icon is dimmed if you do not want this.
As far as the blurry ... Try the different Antialiasing options. The default one was very blurry to my eyes as well.
Also, If you have an Nvidia card you can easily use dsr. (with 0% smoothing) I run the game at 3840x2160 on a 1080 monitor, then just turn off all Antialiiasing.
-
Well hurry up and release it so I can buy it. :-)
-
I'm going by memory here ... sry if this isn't correct ...
But I think the Real Color installer is looking for the airplane folder as opposed to the tower3d folder like the other installers.
So if you are not installing into the default directory make sure you are pointing the real color installer to the right directory. (airplanes)
-
Nice!
Release it already so I can buy it. :-)

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.
It's all we got. :-)
-
Do what I do:
Every once in a while click the download link for each product you've purchased. Before hand look to see what version you already have downloaded and compare it to the file that begins to download. If it's the same version that you already have just cancel the download. :-)

With Tower!3d issuing service packs and Real Traffic Tower!3D issuing service packs and I am sure Real Color Tower!3D and the airports will have service packs you may need to be more specific of which addon the service pack is associated with.
The change sequence that I am familiar with is:
Tower!3D Real Traffic Tower!3D
Hot Fix SP2
SP1 SP3
SP2
SP2aWould a sticky with the evolution of Tower!3D be helpfull?
Maybe it was SP2a for Tower!3D that the landing lights went missing.
I'm sure the developers will be able to shed some "light" on the topic.

It's sp3 of Real Traffic which makes the landing lights go away.
I still have the sp2 installer and installing that version does not make the landing lights inoperable.
Installing sp3 makes it go away every time.
I'm not sure if it's something with my system or Real Traffic ... but there's def something wrong. :-)

Yea not real sure what's causing it. I have never installed the SP3 version and I still lost the landing lights at some point. I don't think the sp3 was up until yesterday and I was messing with it on Sunday so I didn't have access to the SP3 version.
Well that's strange. :-)
I can install the sp2 version and still have landing lights but as soon as I install the sp3 version the landing lights are gone.
I'll just stick with sp2 since that's the only way I can keep landing lights. :-)
BTW, I just checked and I downloaded sp3 this last Friday.
-
I think it's a problem with the new (sp3) version of Real Traffic.
I can install the older (sp2) version and still have landing lights ... installing the newer sp3 results in no landing lights.

Also not sure what causes it but when I was messing around with this issue I tried to install real traffic over the top of the current install. Worked but the lights on the front of the plan don't show at all in the sim once I installed real traffic over the current install. The only way I could get them to show again was to uninstall everything and then install SP2a/Real Traffic/Real Color. I had them not work this weekend and spent a couple of hours trying to figure out what was causing them to not show up.
I also do not have any landing lights at night.
After reading your post I uninstalled everything and reinstalled in the order you gave ... still no landing lights.
When I have a little more time I will mess with it and see if I can get my landing lights back. :-)
-
Thanks for the package deal. I've only played TIST but everything looks great.
I think it should also be said that while I was trying to get everything installed correctly I noticed that a new version of Real Traffic was available. (SP3).
I don't remember it being mentioned before. (sry if it has)
-
Same here. I'll buy it the second I see that it's released.
Can't wait. :-)
-
Steve you should be able to double-click on tower3d.exe to run the game instead of that bat file.
What the bat file does is force the game to generate a log file (placed in that same directory called game.log) which is used to help the dev team trouble shoot problems ... the exe should be the same but without the generation of the log file.
Good Luck with it. :-)
-
Thanks for the free update.
I think some really nice features were added. I really like the additional quality settings. It's nice to set things up the way I like (custom) rather than having to live with the presets. I think I also got a performance increase.
Can't wait for add on's. :-)
I'm also hoping we soon get some Real Color for all the nice planes Real Traffic added. :-)

Perhaps that is not compatible. Folks, if only one sound works it will not be considered bug so please stop reporting it. We even implemented a popup within the game to let you know it works ONLY with compatible sounds.
That's true. There is a pop up but it isn't clear what is compatible.
It looks like that at this time the only compatible voices are the default microsoft voices regardless if the add on voices are sapi voices or not which is fine since the variable pitch/tempo makes for a great variety of voices even when just using the microsoft ones. :-)
Ready for Departure?

Just a quick note that we wondered about the use of other voices such as the ones provided by Ivona and what was found was that it is a Windows limitation. You can see for yourself by trying to change the Windows TexttoSpeech voice .... the option just isn't there to pick anything other than official Windows voices.
BTW, I made a post about this a while back and I think I included the email I received back from Ivona explaining the limitation.
BTW #2, The ATC programs that I'm aware of which are able to use Ivona voices are using their own voice engine. (atcpro)
