  1. How do I determine what size of airplane can park at each gate at KLAX? I'm mainly concerned, which gates can accommodate the heavy aircraft?  ANy help on this would be greatly appreciate. Thanks!

  2. Can anyone tell me about the RC Pack 1 (textpack_RC Pack 1) and how to get it? I've searched the prior threads, and I'll I can find is that those who wanted it had to sign up for it by a certain date, in order to get it. Is it possible to still get it?

    The reason that you are experiencing white planes, is that the aircraft are present in the airplane.txt file, but you don't have a Real Color file to cover the exact aircraft. You can use the Real Color manifest file as listed above, to see what Real Color airports you need to purchase. Or simply change the aircraft to match what real color that you already have installed

    Hello,

    I am making my own fictitious schedule. How can I print out a list of what airline aircraft are available to me on the game? I have some jet traffic in my general aviation and I have a few white planes. How can I color these 707, 727 etc?

    I have three hours of a mix of many types of aircraft at TIST. When I am finished anyone can try it out. It's fast paced. But just for fun.

  6. I've been creating custom schedules for quite some time now, and have never encountered any errors that I couldn't figure out. I am including the part of the schedule that is giving me fits as well as the output log. I'm working on the Terminal 4 and 5 at KLAX, with American Eagle flights. When I load the game, it gets to 99% and spins there for a while before loading. When it does load, it's only allowing the inbound flights. When I look at the output log, the Departure flights are saying  NO FREE TERMINAL. I have looked this over and can't figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!output_log.txtoutput_log.txt

  7. I mainly use KLAX, but I have purchased almost all of the real color files. My question, is how do I force the new Southwest livery to appear on my schedules. I have the 737 and the 738 in my klax_scheule file, but the real color is not using the New Livery that is now available in the other Real Color files that I posses. Hopefully this makes some kind of sense? I would also like to utilize the new United liveries as well. 

  8. This is a real world schedule for KLAX that took place on February 20, 2020, according to Flightradar24 website. I have also added additional flights, in order to increase the fun and realism for the day.

    To use this schedule, I have attached the text files that you will need. You will need to be put these files in your main Extensions\Airfields\KLAX sub directory for Tower3d Pro. Before you insert these files and overwrite your existing files, it is highly recommended that you make a backup of your existing text files first, using the following example. klax_schedule.bak.txt. This way, you won't lose your original files, in case you want them back. Once you have renamed these files, you can just drag the attached files into your sub directory. I've also attached the Excel spreadsheet that I used in order to create the custom schedule for your enjoyment.

    Also, if you want all of the Real Color Airlines to show up and to not just have white airplanes, this custom schedule schedule uses aircraft from the following Real Color Add On's in the schedule. You may or may not have all of these purchased. You only need to purchase the Real Color Add On's and not the airports, for the aircraft to show up. TIST, KPHL, KLAX, KJFK, KSAN, KATL, KPHX, EDDM, KMCO, KMEM, LFPG, KRDU, RJTT. 

    I have done extensive testing for weeks on this schedule, making tweaks and adjustments where needed, and everything seems to be working as advertised.

    The attached schedule file covers the times from 12:00a until 23:59p. there are 894 Arrivals, and 891 Departures

    I just told you exactly how to figure it out for yourself. Open airplanes_texpack3.manifest in notepad. You'll see every airplane/airline combination with a livery at LAX. 

    FYI - If you turn Word Wrap on, it is much easier to work with.

    Thanks for the help!

    Please enlighten us bcooley66. Model/Design/Series?

    Anyway, I believe what you are looking for is contained in the manifest files in the Airplanes and Texturepacks folder. You can open these files in notepad to view the contents.

    airplanes_pack1.manifest is created/updated by Real Traffic and contains all the airplane prefabs that have been built.  For example, the E175 model has not been built yet. That is why when included in a schedule, the E175 looks and acts like a default Regional Jet. 

    airplanes_texpack?.manifest is created/updated by the airport specific Real Color. It contains all the liveries included with that airport. Example: B737_ua.jpg

    From a schedule creation perspective, the first requirement is the airplane model must exist in airplanes.txt fie. If a schedule includes a model that doesn't exist in the airplanes file, I don't thing Pro will load. Then, of course, it needs a prefab and then it needs liveries. With the roll out of the 737 Max we'll need it added (or add it ourselves) to the airplanes files (FlightAware is using 7M8) at some point.

    All I'm referring to is Real Color KLAX. There are liveries that do not exist, and the liveries that do exist, are specific for the various MDS's. For example, Allegiant Airlines: The only livery that exists, is for Boeing 757-200, and an MD-88. The 'Real' flight that are currently flying in and out of KLAX, are Airbus A-319's. If you put the A-319 (319) in the klax_schedule file, the Allegiant Airlines A319, shows up white. No livery! But if you put it back to 752, or M88,, the livery is there. That is what I'm talking about. Another example, would be Spirit Airlines. They fly A321's into and out of KLAX. If you put 321 into the klax_schedule, it will also show up as a white aircraft. Once you re-designate it to an 319, or 320, whalla, the livery comes back to life! Also, there is no livery for UPS. Vic had said that there was a new Real Traffic download as of Sep 9, but it has not seemed to fix the various liveries.

    So again, it would be nice to know exactly what livery with MDS's, exist in the Real Traffic for KLAX. That is why I was hoping that Vic would reply. If any others out there know of a way to see a list of current liveries, please share. Thanks!
