    We are not (and not planning in the future either) simulating emergencies in Tower! franchise for moral and legal reasons.

    1. I do not believe he was talking about crashes or explosions.  Just an occasional aircraft with low fuel or a medical emergency that requires priority over the other aircraft in the area.  Perhaps I am missing something, but I don't see what kind of moral or legal issues that could raise; certainly no more so that two aircraft that receive a collision alert.  I do not mean to be flippant here, but it would create an interesting challenge, and would be worth considering at some point.

    2. With dynamic weather, will the wind ever change, requiring a pattern shift?

  2. There is a tendency for arrival direction to take precedence, especially during times of heavy arrival traffic.  However, when the traffic flow is lighter, gate location will often receive more priority.  Keep in mind though that this is a generality, and that every airport develops its own distinct nuances.  Runway and taxiway layout obviously can make a huge difference in what makes more sense at a given field.

    I was able to find Real Traffic for Tower!2011 on another site:  https://www.fspilotshop.com.  It is for the same price as on the feelthere.com store.  It actually worked!  It downloaded to the Tower 2011! directory and changed the airlines to the real world airlines.  Thanks to all the users who helped me: Salad, mc16v, Scoobflight.  I appreciate your assistance!  I knew something had to be wrong...still don't know if it was me or the program, but at least the issue is fixed.  Thanks again!

     

    Was the version number the same, SP2_16?

    I don't think it is possible to tell an aircraft which exit to take, nor right or left. 

    I do not mean in the game.  I mean in the editor.  There must be some way that this is designated when designing an airport.  I just do not understand what it is, or what criteria may be used to determine it?

  5. I am having the same problem after reinstalling with newly downloaded files.  I understand that this is a newly updated version of Real Traffic.  Is it possible that something is wrong with either the installer or with the file that they uploaded to the server?  I tried redownloading it,and still get the same thing - no Real Traffic.  Could someone check with Nyerges Design?

    Folks,

    We have a source for the satellite images and as fresh it is the fresh we can make the airports.

    ps.: why does Thursday called as "announcement Thursday" I wonder.. :) :)

    Not to belabor the point, but this still does not explain why your picture shows a terminal at KJFK that has not existed since October of 2011. Here is a pic of its imprint after demolition: jfk_sundrome_satellite_nov2014_002.jpg?r       See also  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundrome.

  7. Is anyone else perplexed/conflicted by the recent release of so many new add-on airports for Tower!2011?  I do envision continuing to use T2011 for some time, while I wait for T!3D to be fortified with a reasonable number of add-on airports, but am unsure about purchasing any new ones.  I honestly feel very tempted by a couple of them (especially since they are included in the Memorial Day sale), but am having a hard time justifying the purchase with the new platform being right around the corner.   Does anyone else feel the same way? 

    I want to make it clear that I am NOT making light of the effort that went into developing these new airports.  Indeed, it makes me feel a little sad.  If they had been released a year ago, I would have snapped most of them up instantly.  Please share your thoughts on this.

  8. Makes sense.  Of course, if there was a way to see what gate/ramp a particular flight was destined for, then it would be simple matter for reassigning the runway prior to landing.  Will T!3D or T!3DPro allow the user to see the destination gates of arrivals while still in the air?

  9. Strongly agreed.  I find this particularly annoying at KATL, when cargo planes land on the south runway, but need to travel to the North Cargo ramp, it is so far away that there is no routing that they will accept in spite of the fact that there are numerous viable ways to get there. It leavse the arriving aircraft permanently stuck on the exit from the runway, and all I ever hear is , "We request a more logical route..."   I request some more logical pilots!

  10. Gate assignments are made by airline, and can be viewed or altered by going to the "Airfields" folder in the Tower!2011 directory, and searching for the file: Newark_Airport_terminal.txt.  More information can be found on how best to modify this file in the Sticky post by David Parker at the top of this forum, and specifically in the file below:
