At the moment, it definitely appears to be having issues.

Pro and Tracon do not interact, but it is on my wish list. 🙂 @DeltaVII - what do mean by the "moment for the handover to Tracon"?

Wayne is correct ... this has nothing do with custom made liveries.

Yes, but for me and what I have seen it just a slight momentary freeze. Personally, I haven't seen it to be a big enough issue to pursue. Nevertheless, hopefully the next version will also take the the sim to the next level graphically.

KMEM does "zoom in" on departures although they may not be Brad Pitt worthy closeups. 🙂 As I mentioned before, the view is a little higher than most airports resulting in not quite as much zoom. And it does appear closeups in the terminal/ramp area may not happen at all. Below area a few "closeup" pics at KMEM from the first commercial departure flight that called in. The official description of the action camera button is as follows: "By clicking on it Tower!3D will direct the view for you showing close ups of aircraft actions." Are these closeups? I would say yes since it is different view than the tower view. Are they closeup enough? Debatable. SP worthy? 🤐

If you knew the whole story you might not have posted this. PM me if you are interested. Yes, I do feel left out as do all the other schedule authors. I've been working with @nyergesdesign (Gabor) behind the scenes now for close to a year to help improve his products for the benefit of the community. As a result, I must honestly say I was disappointed to find out that this was going on without my knowledge since Gabor has asked me test to all his new releases and SPs. Why the silence? Why not get he community involved? That's the reason I talked to Gabor. And based on Gabor's feedback I created the post you reference. We'll see where it goes - Joe's response will be key.

Actually the more I think about it, the log file won't indicate a pause/freeze. A video would more appropriate. However, the developers have indicated that the base game is locked (i.e., no more SPs). I'm sure if a major bug popped up they'd fix it, but I don't think this qualifies (especially since it has been mentioned before). I don't want to stop you from doing anything, but just thought I'd help set your expectations.

I've seen posts about the freeze/pause, but nothing before on the departures. How can you see still see a plane at 8000 feet from the tower in this sim? FYI - If you seriously want this looked at by the developers you'll need to provide logs and screenshots.

In light of the new liveries/models that will be added to RC for KLAX I asked @nyergesdesign if other custom schedule makers in the community could get in on the action. He responded very positively to the idea and stressed that we should "work this out and continue making the game better". His key point being we'd all need to work together. I definitely appreciate Joe for opening the door to this opportunity. Obviously Joe's input is important but I would also like to hear from all the current schedule makers' thoughts on this concept. This is only the first step, we can work out the details of how later if there is unified buy-in. Using Pete's list, I am including the known custom schedule authors. Again, I''d like to hear your thoughts and obviously the community is welcome to chime in as well. Thanks! @ATControl -- Joe @hexzed @jonas243 @bcooley66 @Controller- Rogue @crbascott

@ATControl -- Joe, since you won't answer my previous question, here's another one. Ironically a year ago today you made the comment "a good controller doesn't need to see liveries". Have you sacrificed being a "good controller" for YouTube views? 🤑

How about posting some comparison pictures? Some from KMEM and then some from another airport that does the close-up you speak of. Also, I'd recommend using daylights hours. Your pictures above aren't very helpful to your cause. One last thing. What are your expectations? Your original post is only a week old.

@CL30, why isn't @Roger_H the man? He provided the first correct answer. 😢

ND just released KMEM and now FT is having a sale on existing airports. I suspect they are waiting for the right time - which is obviously different than your right time.

https://forum.simflight.com/topic/85853-custom-real-traffic-12-boston-v20-summer-2018/ @ATControl -- Joe, In your comments for the last couple of schedules you have been touting "***I create QUALITY schedules -- not QUANTITIES of schedules***". Would you care to elaborate on what you mean by this?

@707FANPossibly a plane type that is invalid or just a formatting issue.

Not to be a negative ninny, the new liveries are nice but isn't it still the same old airport? Especially related to the cargo airplanes, without a true cargo area where are all these pretty airplanes going to park1? Craig 1 The GA area we currently use has nowhere near enough gates to handle realistic LAX cargo traffic included in our custom schedules.

@Michi10 You are missing eddm_airplanes.txt in your EDDM folder. You can re-install or copy kjfk_airplanes.txt to your EDDM folder and rename it to eddm_airplanes.txt.

The action camera feature doesn't guarantee that you will zoom in on arrivals/departures at any airport. Very few airports show arrivals at all with the action camera. Personally, I find the action camera at KMEM pretty cool - it seems a little higher than most airports providing interesting views and angles. I have definitely seen it focus on both arrivals and departures. From what I have observed, KJFK is the only airport where you can actually see an arrival touch down. KMEM seems similar to KLAS to me where you might see some post-landing taxiing. To be clear the action camera is controlled by the sim and not the user. If you are expecting to click on a plane and then the camera to zoom in, it just doesn't work that way at any airport. For best results and variety, there should be no plane selected at all (no callsign in the command box).

Thanks for the schedule, plug, and support. It's good to see KMEM get a little ❤️.

Thanks Andrew. It's tough to be a good schedule maker, handsome, and humble but I do the best I can. 🤣

I was able to see the images. RC looks to be installed fine. The screenshot for KMCO is showing the fake airlines. I think the issue is that you need to update your Real Traffic to get the schedules, etc. for KMCO. The current version of RT is sp6v9a.

You need to quadruple check your install folders - because that is the one and only reason why the RC packages don't work. If you can provide screenshots of your folders and contents it will help pinpoint the issue.

All of them.

For various reasons, I like it a lot. I've flown through there quite often so the familiarity makes it fun for me. The design is solid and allows for controlling using realistic operations (runway, taxiways). There are some busy time periods in my schedules that are challenging for SP and MP as well, so that doesn't hurt. 🙂 Of all the airports released so far, I'd rank KPHX in the upper half (probably above 3 of the 4 you mentioned above). It is predominantly American and Southwest, but a few other airlines show up on occasion. To that point, if you have a few other airports Real Color for KPHX may not be necessary.
