  1. Please post a log file.
  2. Actually, it is realistic under FAA rules. It is covered in FAA JO Order 7110.65 under section 3-10-6, Anticipating Separation. Landing clearance to succeeding aircraft in a landing sequence need not be withheld if you observe the positions of the aircraft and determine that prescribed runway separation will exist when the aircraft crosses the landing threshold.
  3. Or sadly, delete airplanes. Philadelphia is a good example where arrival logic along with a 20 mile final needs addressing in the next version.
  4. Another reason why in the next version FT/ND should not intermingle the use of ICAO codes and IATA codes. In the case of the Boeing 787-10, the IATA code should have actually been 78J and not 781. But Real Traffic has never been perfect.
  5. Yes, but as @scoobflight has indicated the links need updating.
  6. Why are the links to the airport proceeded with a leaving Facebook warning?
  7. My review/thoughts based on @Nasder's youtube video: With LFPG, it appears there is less reliance on satellite images either by design or by necessity (due to cost/availability). There are some pros/cons to this, as there are no satellite/graphic overlay inconsistencies. However, the airport looks less real making it more game-like than simulation-like. The ground/land features appear to be very sanitized/bland especially the area surrounding the airport. Gabor excelled in this area at KPHX but LFPG is lacking. The buildings and terminals suffer from this same sanitized look - lacking texture which I've seen mentioned in posts on other forums. And, finally, the gameplay appears to be typical Tower!3D Pro fare ... bugs that bother some (like me) won't bother others. I've been flight siming lately and my bar for graphics is along those the lines of the default and freeware airports. Not sure if this game engine is capable of that yet, so I will continue to "patiently" wait for the next version.
  8. Gabor said "is being released". He didn't say has been released. πŸ™‚
  9. Are you suggesting that Gabor has gone back and updated all the Real Traffic schedules? πŸ˜‰ PS - I already know the answer to this question.
  10. Based on the video it’s the typical taxi and pushback issues that are ever-present in this version and most airports. Joe, are you representing Gabor in this thread?
  11. Some of the add-ons are from Nyerges Design (the developer of Real Traffic and Real Color), but FeelThere is definitely releasing add-ons also. Of course, regardless of the add-on developer the base engine is the same.
  12. Sure, you can use them. All you have to do is delete Real Traffic. They are the default/dummy airlines. If you look close at the startup screens at most (if not all) all the airports, they include the default airlines. ☺️
  13. In addition to American, Compass also operates as Delta and Skywest also operates as Delta, United and Alaska. The current limitation is one livery per airplane type and airline (IATA). There’s also an issue if one regional carrier operates for more than one major airline at the same airport - Compass at LAX is a good example. You can only assign them to one terminal. Hopefully, the next version if/when it happens will address the regional carriers.
  14. Providing a credit card number isn’t needed via email.
  15. You can also email cservice@bmtmicro.com.
  16. It's more than just colors Crystal, the SE version uses a different voice/speech engine. Not sure what to tell you about Radar Contact, either the command is not being recognized or your timing is off. I have both versions and I find the voice recognition engine of the SE version to be very finicky and not nearly as good as Tower!3D (although they are supposed to be the same).
  17. I believe gate/terminal issues are a know bug with Gatwick. Theoretically, an SP for EGKK is in the works. What do you mean by "assigning an extra parking lot"? Nevertheless, I doubt this is the cause of your white planes. More than likely, it's a airline/plane type combination in your schedule that doesn't have a livery created for it. With this being a recent release, I would have thought that the "Nyerges Design team" would have delivered an accurate terminal file.That's unfortunate if that's not the case. For my custom schedules I always relied on the Airport's website and verified things through FlightAware as much as possible.
  18. 2. Read page 43 of the manual regarding RADAR CONTACT. The pilot will indicate he/she is "with you" and then you can respond with the command. If successful, you should see a message in the history of your command panel. The pilot will not respond back to the successful RADAR CONTACT command. You must have a successful RADAR CONTACT command before the pilot will recognize subsequent commands. 3. See page 7 of the manual for the ICAO phonetic alphabet pronunciation. This is the way you communicate with GA traffic in the game. The phonetic callsign for N456PC would be November Four Five Six Papa Charlie. 5. Was the video you watched of the SE version? From what I have experienced, clicking the PTT on the SE version does not make a sound. Not sure what you mean by radio noise. The SE game engine uses Windows speech so it's not going to sound radio-like.
  19. What are you calling "original traffic"? All GA flights, whether you have Real Traffic or not, are automatically generated. If you don't want GA flights, you'll need to go into the Tracon airspace editor and make modifications. I agree that the red line "should be the flight plan", but as I said before the game has shortcomings (bugs) and the plane doesn't always follow the red (departures) or green (arrivals) line for the reasons I already explained.
  20. Tracon randomly generates GA traffic depending on what airports/runways you select as active. So, if in fact a callsign of N975AN appeared, it is just a coincidence and not meant to emulate an American Airlines plane (despite the information shared by scoobflight). I'm pretty sure the plane you saw was not a B738. So to directly answer your questions: Odds are things are working as designed. SIDs and STARs have transitions and Tracon can only show one of the paths/transitions at a time. As a result, the red line (or green line for arrivals) doesn't always match the plane's path. But, bottom line, as a controller you can make the plane go where you want it to go. If you look at the charts you'll see the possible paths. LAS3 is obsolete now, but hopefully things haven't changed too much and LAS5 will show you want you want to see. Make sure to unselect all the runways for KLAS and other airports if you just want to control a single airport like KHND.
  21. Too late - the hijacking happened with your first post. πŸ˜€ The terminal workarounds are related to the DLC and not the custom schedule. i still think the issue is related to the engine because the lack of heavy gates is prevalent at EVERY airport and even with SPs they don't seem to get fixed. To bring things back on topic - nice work @battlehawk77. πŸ‘πŸ˜€
  22. Already having to develop workarounds? Yep, we definitely need more DLCs with this game engine. πŸ™„
  23. I'd recommend patiently waiting until it is available. @Pedantic G voluntarily does this out of the goodness of his heart and in his spare time. Three posts in five hours on the day a new airport was just released is a bit overboard and disrespectful.
  24. Braf, that email you received and posted in another thread invited customers to post comment, reviews, etc. Why are you telling people to shut up when FeelThere asked for the opposite? And remember, at one time you even posted you were ready for the next version. And that pole (it'a actually poll) you mention, was only about what airports people wanted to see and nothing more. Not everyone is willing to compromise their standards for software. As a former software (non-gaming) developer, my standards apparently are a little higher. Unrealistic workarounds, deleting planes, and overlooking bugs are not the answer for everyone.
  25. You can add/delete all the airlines you want in the ...\Tracon! 2012\Databases\airlines.txt file. Of course for "new" airlines to show up, you'll need to add flights to the schedule file.
