Tower!3D: Planes crossing runways without clearance

[Avwriter 96]

This a general problem, so I do not see how a log would help.  Planes need to automatically stop before crossing runways and ask for clearance to continue, or alternatively there needs to be a hold short instruction.  Otherwise it becomes almost impossible manage heavy traffic in the larger airports.

I agree... Explicit runway crossing clearances should be required. Having to say "Taxi to runway XXX" and then issue a following command to hold short isn't practical.

Folks,

The issue you describe is part of the game and it was tested. If you found it somewhere where it doesn't work then we need a log. No log->no bug.

Vic,

Are you saying that aircraft shouldn't require an explicit instruction to hold short?

It should hold short of all runways before crossing them. If it doesn't then please note the runway and taxiway (preferably a screenshot) and attach the log so we can look into the "why" :) 

 

Thank you

Will do. Thanks, Vic. 

As to the log, is this the Output_log file? I noted in another post that I didn't see a log file created when running the .Bat file. Is it necessary to run the .Bat version of the game and play a session in that?

[FeelThere 269]

Only by running the .bat file you can generate the log file which is called game.log

Thanks

I will try to catch one and send you the log.   Just to be clear, the issue I am referring to is aircraft that need to cross a runway en route to either the terminal, or to the intended takeoff runway.  Are you saying that in this situation that planes should stop automatically, because I have not had that happen even once at any airport.  They ALWAYS cross runways when en route to another location.  Is that intended, or not?

Game.log is generated in the root dir, so at the same dir as tower3d.bat

Also a screenshot would also be appreciated.

Well I have never seen a plane hold on a runway.  They didn't in 2011 either, once you told them to taxi to the terminal they would go and not stop unless you told them to hold short.  Been playing this since last night and they don't stop in this one either.

Hi,

I managed to catch MAX392 crossing 25R without a clearance moving from rwy 25L to Terminal. Attached is the game.log and a screenshot.

Let me know if I should create a separate post for this.

Regards,
Frank

Well..... they DID hold for the ACTIVE runways, so the ones you selected on the Start screen. But all others they would just taxi across indeed.

Here are a couple of screenshots of runway incursions at PHL.
