    Hope this gets fixed on way or the other 😞

    The one way or another will have to be something done on your end. FeelThere's decision to only support the T!3DP game engine for about a year after release is a risky proposition when it comes to long term enjoyment of the game. This business strategy is very concerning to me and will definitely be part of my evaluation criteria in whether I'll be purchasing the next version.

    If this information is not included in the RC pack, wouldn't a buyer who doesn't know about this thread just have a useless livery pack on the PC?

    Obviously, the target audience for this and the retro pack is limited and not for the casual player. Not everyone understands the file structures and can build or even use custom schedules. However, if a buyer picks up the pack and feels that they have useless liveries I would hope they would quickly find their way to the support forum for help regarding using RC packs that require custom schedules.

    I do agree an “UPDATE” folder would have been nice - a logical solution since RT was being updated anyway. But this isn’t the first time I’ve scratched my head regarding business decisions related to T!3DP.

  3. My understanding that updating RT text files was out of scope of this project (despite new plane models being added). Based on @Pedantic G providing an airlines file, I'm guessing you may have to update the airplanes file yourself. Based on G's Excel master file, you would need to add something like the following two entries to the appropriate airplanes files in order to use the A319NEO and B727 freighter:

    A19N-19N-AIRBUS INDUSTRIE A319 (NEO)              -NARROW BODY JET
    B72F-72F-BOEING 727 FREIGHTER              -NARROW BODY JET                                         

                                            
    FYI - I downloaded sp6v31 and it had the new models in the manifest file. Based on this, I would assume it is the current version.

    I'm using Airspace Editor to build a sector for an airport that gets a wide variety of traffic (jets & props). Is there coding that would allow me to filter it so that props use a different arrival than the jets? 

    Thank you

    No.

    The only thing I can think of is creating jet/prop specific STARs and then including those in the sidstar_cfg.txt file. However, this will only work if the originating airports are unique between jets and props. Not a good solution, but the only one I can come up with off the top of my head. 

    Maybe we can add jet/prop specific SIDs/STARs to the TRACON!2022 wishlist. 😉

    Craig, this is pretty usual for busy airports to hand off the the planes to Departure asap. So if you want to be a better controller I think you can simulate this separation already by considering the destination and instructing the planes to take off from the runways "closer" to their destination airport. 

     

    Vic

    Yes, I totally agree. I built several challenges on the Discord where using actual runways runways were a requirement.

    I guess my main point was that after we hand planes off to departure there are no repercussions for our actions. For example, if in real life the tower controller(s) let the scenario above happen there would more than likely be severe consequences. I just get tired of seeing the YouTubers, Twitchers, and others brag about their skills and how they can handle so many departures when in reality they’ve driven their departure controllers (and more than likely passengers) into an early grave.

    Runway 25L / 24R operations
    Have I got the following right, and what needs to change?

    Runways 24L / 24R -
    SouthWest flights line up at 24L, taxi via D9 (otherwise they cut in front of already queued aircraft)
    Delta, AeroMexica also line up at 24L

    As an aircraft arrives on 24R the aircraft lined up for departure on 24L is given clearance to depart
    My main concern (in reality) is the aircraft has to abort the landing, as the aircraft are very close together (we really do not have anything like this in the UK)

    Runway 25L / 25R -
    American and United flights line up on 25R (I use taxiway B)
    Cargo flights line up on 25L
    There is then about a gap of about 90 seconds, and the process repeats on the runways 25L / 25R

    If you are truly looking for realism, parking location is not the sole determining factor for departure runways. Runway use is quite often determined by the departure direction (north or south of the airport) - especially during times of normal to peak volume.

    Published missed approach procedures and ATC professionalism are in place to address your concerns of 24R aborted landings.

    There is obviously no issue between 25R departure / 24L departure and 25L departure / 24R arrival, due to the larger seperation

    In real life this is a major concern. For example, lets say you have a simultaneous departure of a Southwest flight to KHOU heading south off 24L and an United flight to KSEA heading north from 25R. Without proper traffic management control, these two departures could easily have a head on collision as their paths cross. To use the runways as above, one of the flights would need to be delayed until it's flight path was clear. Obviously, if the Southwest flight took off from 25L and the United flight from 24R there would not be a need for a delay or concern of a conflict.     

    From a game play perspective, unfortunately, we typically handoff the plane to departure as soon as possible without any concerns or consequences of our actions. Again, hopefully the next version will attempt to make us be better controllers and not just video game-like tin pushers.

    The correct waypoint is DLREY. DLRAY is 200+ miles north of KLAX, it is the IF on the 28L ILS for KMOD.

    Finally, when ATC give an aircraft clearance to takeoff from 24L / 25R, what is DELRAY?

    DLREY is the first waypoint in RNAV departures from 24L. The first waypoint for 25R RNAV departures is DOCKR. For a flight that has filed a RNAV departure (LADJ4 for example), the typical takeoff clearance issued by the tower controller would be something like "American 123, RNAV to DLREY, Runway 24L, Cleared for takeoff”. Hopefully, additionally realistic takeoff clearances will be available in the next version.

    Why would a software publisher/developer provide support for a third-party unofficial patch?

    The question was would there be publicly available support topics (instead a hiding behind the curtains in the private message world) not if there would actually be FeelThere support. To be honest, in the flight sim world I’ve seen very solid and professional-like support for free software/patches. But you do your thing Wildcard, it’s obvious that is your modus operandi.

    I posted in the other thread on this topic as well but, have the same problem where the game (T3DP/Steam, Windows10) will not load if my Ethernet network adapter is enabled. The only way to load the game is to actually disable the network connection via Network & Internet Settings. My motherboard uses an Intel I-V225 chip. This on the surface doesn't appear to make much sense as the Intel driver for this chip hasn't changed in over a year as to why it is now not working. 

    Turning off wi-fi or disabling just Wi-Fi makes no difference game will not load if Ethernet is enabled. 

    There aren't any error messages in the logfile but, game simply won't start.. While you can work around it, having to turn off the internet is assuredly annoying every time you want to launch it. I've reinstalled drivers, reset the application, deleted and reinstalled the game both vanilla and with RT/RC mods again and has not made any difference so out of ideas other than turn stuff off. 

     

     

    Since a fix from FeelThere will not be happening, unfortunately, turning off WiFi/Ethernet is the only solution despite customers finding this workaround annoying.

  10. Apparently the oft-discussed and not so secret mods made by @WildCardare now publicly available. From what I gather, all one has to do is private message @WildCard on this very support forum. Based on this, I would have to assume that @FeelThere_Vic fully supports the mods and distribution channel/mechanism.   

    Not sure if there will be support topics for bug reports, enhancements, new features documentation, etc. We'll see. Exciting times!

    We already have this with some of the duplicate cargo airlines, where the IATA / ICAO code does not exist and is not currently in use
    So it does raise the question who decides which code to use?

    You're not understanding my point - if the use of spoof codes becomes standard with the release of these packs, then someone will need to manage/maintain/share a common airlines master. 

    Since the IATA code is used in the livery filename, then ultimately Nyerges Design will need to decide on the code value or depend on a collaborator. Sounds like a job for @Pedantic G to me.  🙂
