Has anyone tried it yet? Very curious about first impressions? Andrew

All that you say is true (faster updates and more flexibility), but the best reason to purchase directly from FeelThere is that the developers will benefit more from your purchase than if you do so via a middleman, thereby helping them to create more content. Moreover there is not downside to purchasing from them. Best regards, Andrew

Very nice. I've been enjoying these. Would be cool If you added some evening schedules too. Best regards, Andrew

I fully plan to, but out of principle (or perhaps just pure unadulterated stubbornness) I'm holding out until they deliver the long promised fix for KATL ;-) Andrew

While I appreciate the desire to inform your customers about new add-ons, I find it annoying that the game always defaults to one of these adds, instead of the most recent airport played. This is particularly annoying when exiting a session. Recently I exited a session with the intent of restarting it to try again, but was instead hit with an add for KLAS, and had to manually reelect the airport I had been playing. Is there some way to make these adds a bit less aggressive? Andrew

Unlikely, since KDCA was never made for Tower 2011. So far, all Tower3D addon have been airports that were done for Tower2011, as this lets them use the data and some of the imagery that they have already developed. Thus, I doubt we will see many completely new titles until they have exhausted the supply of Tower2011 airports, or unless a 3rd party decides to take one on. Andrew

Any news on patching the above problems in KATL? I know you guys are busy, but it has been many months (and two new add-on releases) since the problems were identified. Leave it like this for so long. Thanks, Andrew

The voices are off the OS. Win 7 only has Anna, so that's all you get. I do not know if it is possible to add more voices to Win 7, though if you search the forums, there has been some discussion of this in the past. If you are using Win10, which has more voices built in, then the game will let you use them. It is a great game, with quite a bit of user modifications of schedules, but it does have its quirks, and typically requires a willingness to read the forums a lot, and to tinker, in order to get it to do what you want it to do. Andrew

That's right. Play nice boys! Otherwise there will be no new add-ons for a year ;-) Andrew

For what its worth, Sim Smith just said that they are hoping for an October release for the 3D version of KLGA. Andrew

I'm jealous, KATL did not get a fancy promo video like that :-) IN all seriousness, KLAS looks great, and I will definitely pick it up, but not until terminal F at KATL is fixed ;-) Andrew

Very much agreed. I have deliberately not brought it up for a while (I feel I did enough nagging prior to release), when Vic last commented on it here, he said it was next up after 2011SE. That was a few months ago, and now they are getting ready to release a new product, when the problems with the old one have still not been addressed. Would be nice to know whether the problems with KATL were just forgotten about, or if they presented a greater challenge than anticipated? Its a bit disappointing. Andrew

I have not tried this yet but, see if it works: Go to you main Tower3D directory and open the file Twer3D.rec. Copy paste the following command at the end of the file, and then save it: #airplane1; ENTER FINAL RUNWAY ;#runway1; CLEARED TO LAND Theoretically this should work, as similar combos have been made by other users. If it does not work, or causes conflicts, then delete it. Andrew

Well, I noticed that in the new KATL they broke each terminal into north and south sections, so that creates a little more user control, but I do not think the game mechanics allow for changing things around at the gate level. Andrew

Cool! Have fun. We won't get the totality over here,either, but it should certainly be close enough to be pretty noticeable, unless of course the weather refuses to cooperate. Actually thought about making a quick trip over to Greenville, SC myself, but its a school day for my kid, and eclipse or not, it would not be an approved absence. In my book they should declare it an official holiday, considering how rare it is. I miss the good old days when school did not start until after Labor Day... Andrew

Hey, we have to keep ourselves entertained somehow. :-) Andrew

Nice. I heard a rumor that all aircraft will be flown exclusively by volunteer flight simmers. That way, they do not have to pay for pilots. Apparently, they have been in extended negotiations with the Trump administration, which has agreed to lift the "ridiculous and bureaucratic" requirement that pilot's be licensed. This will be done in conjunction with the privatization of the air traffic control system, which will also be operated by FeelThere customers working from home and using Tower3D Pro (see the "Pro" really does mean something) as the central user interface for controlling. Thus, FeelThere is really going to have get cracking on creating more add-on airports. Sign me up. It's going to be a wild ride! Andrew

Cool. I am guessing that FeelThere has developed its own global flightsim platform that fully integrates with Tower3D, Tracon, and Tower2011. The only downside is that the city of Atlanta is not modeled in 3D, while all other cities are ;-) Sorry, I just could not resist. Andrew

That's funny. I never even noticed it, since I always use voice now. Andrew

No comment with hot sauce. FeelThere is stepping up its game :-) Andrew

Thanks, Andrew

I really wish we could get this bug taken care of, Vic. In my view it is that largest problem with the KATL add-on. Any insight you could share would be helpful. Andrew

Vic has stated in the past that KSFO is on the list of upcoming add-ons. However, KLAS and KBOS are slated to be next. Andrew

Technically, it should be possible, but Frontier Flight is the airline's actual radio callsign, presumably to prevent it from being confused with other callsigns during radio transmisions. I would imagine that similar complications might arise over VR as well. Have you tried using Frontier Flight, or was that what was causing the problem in the first place? Andrew

Odd. Never had a problem with that one. Just too be sure we are on the same page, you are saying "Frontier Flight" and not "Frontier"? Andrew
