biggard Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Hey guys, I seem to be having an issue getting a custom airport to load in Tower. I've been building airport according to the manual, but when I go into Tower and click "Start" the game starts to load then crashes to desktop. According to game.log it just finished Initializing the Sun, so I have a feeling its crashing when loading the airport (since that is the next step) ----------------------------------------------------- Program started at: 2015. 4. 6. / 17:39:25 ----------------------------------------------------- settings mgr init profile mgr init menu_start TGA mgr init Init 3d win WinVersion: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 Tower! 2011 version: 4.777.955 init font Init new menu Init settings menu Init Info menu Init Exit menu menu end -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* MENU CLOSED *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* menu destroyed new game called Gamewin created SoundManager created Camera created Search Airplanes finished Sun Initialized I've done what I can to find the problem, deleting different combinations of objects (at one point having Tower only load the 2 runways), changing source images, etc. I've checked spelling on everything as well.

I'm attaching the afx file (wrapped in a rar due to file size requirements) burbank.rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggard Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Would posting the full airport help? (I have rights to distribute bg image etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelThere_Vic Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Altough we don't support new airports directly but I would recommend posting it so others can possibly check it for you. Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic Sounds good...here are all the files related to the project: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ldb1vv2vu7yk5ek/Burbank.zip?dl=0 (Forgive the transparency issue in the menu, I was going to fix that later) Edited April 25, 2015 by biggard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc16v Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I have a fair few custom airports under my belt, I'll have a look at yours for you and let you know what i find, may take a few days though. Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc16v Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Not sure what the laws are on the top down images, London Heathrow I'm sure I can share as I paid for the picture, don't know about the rest as taken image off the internet.

mc16v Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hello again, Ok amend these two issues and all should be good :) 1) You need to resize ADIRS and Night_2 inages to 1024 x 1024 px each. 2) You also need to move the incoming airway lines to the start of the runway, the game doesn't support displaced threasholds, so will not pick up the airway unless it is at the end/begining of the runway. Happy gaming! Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggard Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Gareth, Thanks, I'll try that later! -David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggard Posted May 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Gareth, It works! (Sorta haha) The game now fully loads the airport, but I'm seeing 2 issues. 1) In the game log I see the following warning: Command window Initialized Timetablewin Initialized RUNWAY CROSS ERROR: 26 - 8 RUNWAY CROSS ERROR: 8 - 26 RUNWAY CROSS ERROR: 33 - 15 RUNWAY CROSS ERROR: 15 - 33 2) When some aircraft land on runway 8, they get to the opposite end and a "MAP ERROR, no escape: -100pts" message appears. They do not experience this issue on 33 (maybe runway length?) Any idea what might be behind these issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc16v Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Not sure on the first point, i may get it on my airports, i never check the log file, as long as the game plays as you expect it to.... second point though, It is the runway length, i get it at JFK when a heavy jet (748 for example) lands on runway 22L/4R and cant stop before the end, the artificial pilot doesn't know the runway maybe too short to land on so its up to you to put them on the right runway. some planes will have to use the longer runway regardless of your traffic flow direction. If you think the a/c should be able to land on said runway, maybe double check you have scaled the top down image correctly, i only say because i've messed up the scale before!

biggard Posted May 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 That's what I figured. I'll probably have to make a few tweaks to aircraft files. Thanks for all the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
