dickparker Posted November 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 First, did you run Schedule Creator as administrator? Second, be sure the name of the schedule file in Tower3D is "klax_schedule.txt" and that it is in the proper folder "...extensions/airfields/klax". The only problem I have ever had with the 70% loading error is when the file has the incorrect name or is in the incorrect folder. I use SC24 all the time to create new schedules of various sizes and times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Norgaard Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 No I downloaded a file that you have created in an earlier post and yes it is in the correct place. It works fine KPHL and before the service pack I had the same problem with KLAX, but the hours with the error was from 0:00 to 6:00 , so it makes me think it has to do with UTC and local time and not SC24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avwriter Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 For a future version of SC, it would be handy if it asked the user whether the schedule was for Tower2011 or Tower3D, and then saved it automatically with the correct name format. Note this is not a big problem at all, just a friendly suggestion for something that would make the experience smoother for users, since it is frequently used to generate schedules for both programs.

dickparker Posted February 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Thanks for the suggestion. I don't know when I will be revising Schedule Creator. You can already select the name of your schedule file but I guess I could make it "automatic." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biosuit Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Hello, Could anybody possibly share a challenging schedule for klax? At the moment the one shared by Dick or the standard one is not enough traffic. Or is there a place where these are shared? Looking forward to a reply, Marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like I will be happy to use it to create a sample one for you. How many flights per hour would you like? 100, 150, 200, 250? Realistic would be around 160-170/hour depending on time of day.

dickparker Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 It is not clear to me if you have tried Schedule Creator. And, how many flights do you want? You can generate up to 2880 flights over whatever time period you wish using SC. So, if you chose a 6-hour schedule, that would be 480 flights per hour. That seems pretty challenging to me! I don't know the exact number or the time distribution, but I think LAX handles about 1600 flights per day. You can use the schedule files for both Tower!2011 and Tower!3D.

Looking forward to a reply, Marco You should look at the schedule file ... it is very simple to create/modify your own schedule. This is the second time you've posted that the sim is not challenging enough for you. I, personally, cannot control the entire LAX airport at a peak time. I mean in reality, it's the job of a least four people. But if you can do it, more power to you. You should make a video, I'd love to see you in action. Also, I think with separation and available parking spaces there is an actual limit to the number of arrivals (and probably departures) the sim will have active at any point in time.

biosuit Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Sorry for the late reply. Been overwhelmed at work. Thank you for all your replies! Especially the tip of playing at 16x LOL. I'll have a look at creating my own file then if it's that easy. I know real life KLAX needs several people and not satin I can do that but the standard included schedule could do with a bit more flights. Thanks again and I'll let you know if I can't manage.

biosuit Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Ok. Just tried it. I feel really stupid now. Should have looked first, how easy was that. When I was reading I was assuming you had to take the format out of Flightradar24 and translate it to schedule creator. Thanks again everybody that replied! marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kl408 Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Absolutely Tommy2604.. You will have to make sure you place it in the correct folder with the correct name but you can definitely make a really challenging schudele for all versions of tower.. You could look here : to see how many flights a day to use approximately.. have fun, Willem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crbascott Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 If I recall correctly there were posts indicating the comments in Dick's schedule files might cause issues with 3D/Pro. Is that the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickparker Posted April 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 I have never had a problem with the comment lines in either Tower product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futureboy Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 I have created schedules for Tower!3D and Tower!3DPro and the comment lines have yet to cause a problem. On the other hand when I try to create 2880 arrivals and departures in one hour, it did create a bit of a problem :) RickyJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your interest. Based on my list of available Tower airports, SC does not include KSMF, KIND, KPDX, KMSY, PHNL, and KEYW. Making a new schedule does involve quite a bit of work and requires a copy of the terminal assignment file in order to make it as accurate as possible. I do not currently own copies of the listed airports. I may work on some of these during the winter of 2017 but really don't have time right now.

I think it was their first airport and was fairly easy to design...but not sure why it was included. Updating the schedule probably won't change things much. I don't even use it anymore.

Updating the schedule probably won't change things much. I don't even use it anymore. Updating the schedule to reflect, or at least mimic real world operations will at least live up to the goal of the simulation. TIST as it is now is like a secret military installation that has some people come and go in a restricted block of time and that is it. If the schedule would reflect non scheduled (random) GA ops and also include recent commercial ops schedules for the full 24 period, TIST could be very fun and rewarding. But to just simply abandon TIST because KLAX is available or that KATL will soon be available is not good business. TIST was one of 3 airports included in the base package, surly we should be expecting it to at least be close to real world ops. I possibly understand why TIST was included; its like a basic C172 (TIST) being included in a flight sim, we have to learn the basics before going on to the 747's (KJFK tower). But to make that C172 (TIST) into a kite (too easy/very boring) is not good for business. The Tower line of products are not doing very well on Steam, but if a little attention to this topic and keyboard shortcuts could be attended to, I'm certain positive reviews and sales will sharply increase for Tower 3D pro. The product has excellent potential. I know you don't work for FeelThere, and I very much appreciate all your hard work that has gone into all of these ATC programs, as well as the time you take on the forums. FeelThere will not listen to me, but they will likely listen to you. Please consider helping revive TIST from the dead. I realize Nyergens plays a part in this equation, but maybe if you can convince Vic, Vic in turn will convince Nyergens. If I can master a more realistic TIST at 100%, then I will be able to move up to say KSAN, and then KPHL etc., but as it is now I have little desire to bother...another potential life long supporter, with great zeal, will be lost unnecessarily. Thank you for any consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
