Tower - Can we have?

Hi,

 

Great sim and easy to edit the schedules and airfields too!

 

A couple of things I would like to be able to do...

1. Rearrange my departure strips into the correct order at the holding point (drag and drop?).  Aircraft calling later, but with a shorter taxi route will often end up at the runway first, but with the strip showing second in the queue.

2. Have stand numbers shown on arrival strips.  I don't need to be able to allocate or change, but it would be good to see this for taxiway route planning (to save right clicking on the ADIRS screen).

 

Thanks!

Steve

I like the order thing, gives you more to do planning routes to taxi so they all end up at the runway in the correct slot order, you should aim to depart them in the order they call up, so no one aircraft gets delayed behind a que of others, keeps things busy, and the airlines happy!!

 

 

it would also be helpful if the taxi route given, eg "taxi via A B" was displayed on the strip as well as any hold short instructions

 

 

It would just be splended if Feelthere could issue a language update aswell, so more instructions can be given in one transmission, quite oftern you here  instruction like "Taxi 25R via A B short C" for example, this cuts down the amount you have to say and combines two transmissions and readbacks into one saving a lot of time also.

If I did this at work, we'd have a queue of departures 50 aircraft long, with ones having a short taxi route sitting looking at the runway whilst waiting for another from the other side of the airfield to get there!  Sorry, don't agree with that idea at all!

Another request...

 

Can an arrival have its runway vacating taxiway specified, often for ground movement planning you may want one to continue to a specific point before vacating, but it seems that they will always come off where it's been predetermined, and can't be changed.

Not sure about that instruction, it would normally be given as "Taxi to holding point D via F A, give way to the 737 at C", or "Taxi to hold short of C" - in the UK anyway.  We don't use "Hold Short Of" for a runway in the UK, we always use a holding point.  I would like the conditional clearances of "give way", "follow" and "behind" though, both for ground and tower.
