I dusted off the cobwebs of my T!2011 and ran a few tests at KDFW (runway 18R) changing the landing distance of the 388. Here are my results: Test 1 - Landing distance = 6595 > QFA7 exited at E4 Test 2 - Landing distance = 4595 > QFA7 exited at E3 Test 3 - Landing distance = 8595 > QFA7 exited at E7. In my tests, changing the landing distance definitely had an impact where the plane exited. In all three tests, I only changed the landing distance in the plane editor. I've attached a screenshot of my 388 profile. It is very similar to yours. My Tracon and Cruise parameters are all blank (except for a cruising speed of 89). Again, I would make sure you are editing the correct file and saving it in the correct location. If your 388.apx file is still dated 2011, then you are obviously doing something wrong.

@MJKERR Your post above mentioned you updated a388.apx which is why I questioned if you were updating the correct file. Based on the airplanes.txt file the correct file name is 388.apx. You indicate you only have the 388 in your schedule. If that's the case, why show a screenshot of the 380? PS - I don't have Heathrow so I can't test out your specific issue. However, I have to think you are not updating something correctly. Updating the landing length should definitely have an impact. In the past I did this for several planes to improve realism and accuracy and it worked 100% of the time.

To avoid confusion, you should have used "exiting runway 09L". What are the entries for the A380 and A388 in your airplanes.txt file? Mine are as follows: 380 -380-AIRBUS INDUSTRIE A380 -WIDE BODY JET 388 -388-AIRBUS INDUSTRIE A380-800 -WIDE BODY JET As a result, for me the apx files of consequence are 380.apx and 388.apx. In both cases I have a landing distance of 6595 feet. Is it possible you are not editing the correct files?

The versions have nothing to do with your issue. The game engine hasn't been updated in over 2 years and you both have the "current" version (3.3c). Your issue is related to your traffic files - for multiplayer both players must have the same traffic files for the airport you are trying to play.

I think this would be much more immersive in a flight sim as a pilot versus an ATC. Not sure how this is related to progressive taxi, but hey if you can sell the concept to FeelThere since it’s just a “small extra step” more power to you.

Exhibiting patience would be a more prudent and respectful response to @EliGrim’s fine work. I think you are under appreciating the amount of work involved. It’s much more than just adding an airport to the list.

It’s very cool, but I do not recall seeing this on the wishlist or ever being discussed. Again, with limited screen real estate I’m not sure how this could be implemented as it is a separate system in itself.

I assume you meant KEWR folder as there is not a Real Traffic folder.

That's an oversimplification and doesn't really provide any insight to the problem at hand. If someone is still getting fake airlines then it is without a doubt tied to their Real Traffic installation. It either needs updating or is not installed correctly. Real Traffic gives you the "real" airlines and plane models along with the schedule related files. Real Color provides the liveries.

The controllers may be offline but the website is up - nyartcc.org.

Did you try looking at that same Vatsim site that was suggested to you for KLGA?

Make sure to run T!3DP as administrator.

Not having Real Color for the airport you are playing doesn't cause weird liveries - it only causes white liveries. More than likely either Real Traffic or one or more Real Color packs is not installed in the correct location. The contents of your ...\Tower!3D Pro\Extensions\Airplanes folder and subfolders will help pinpoint the issue.

I was hopeful @FeelThere might have snuck in an update in for us. But, alas, the mystery of the log entries has been solved. Looks like @WildCard has shared his modded version with more people than just @TP Gaming. From the log: BUILD VERSION: v1.3.0.6 ¤WildCard¤ Quite interesting!

Somewhere is the current answer. But where is the bigger question because that plane type is not in either of the attached schedule files.

I'm not sure what your point is here - I thought we were talking about two planes lined up on the runway at the same time. The second video shows the BAW A380 waiting to line up until after the Korean Air A380 departs. The BAW plane doesn't begin to taxi onto the runway until after the KAL A380 has been cleared for takeoff and visually passes by their intersection.

@MJKERR is apparently talking about T!2011. The rest of us have moved on to T!3D. It appears being able to change arrival runways mid-game is an improvement we got moving from T!2011 to T!3D.

I doubt the video depicted a LUAW at the same intersection unless the first plane was told to move forward (which might require a takeoff reconfiguration). Issuing simultaneous LUAW at the same intersection and not clearing the first plane for takeoff will definitely result in a crash. Nothing really to test.

I believe @winsaudi is responding to your statement that 09L/27R was used exclusively for departures. What specifically is not possible?

Obviously not a FAA managed airport. Cool video, thanks for sharing.

Interesting, this is not allowed by the FAA. From the same policy that @Ron C quoted above: 3-9-4-f-4. Only one aircraft at a time is permitted to line up and wait on the same runway.

Are you saying you somehow issue LUAW when there are two or more aircraft in front? I'm confused by the scenario you are describing.

Only if you are looking to play realistically at FAA managed airports. This command is ICAO approved and used in real life outside the U.S. This was discussed in the 3 year old thread that I linked above along with the same excerpt from the FAA policy.

No. The game was released in 2017 (Pro version) and FeelThere stopped providing game engine updates in early 2018. Bottom line, you'll have to change because the game won't. Although this is irrelevant, in reality in east flow 9L would only be used for departures and 9R for arrivals.
