FeelThere_Vic Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Dear Folks, ANYTHING BELOW IS PROVIDED AS IS WITHOUT ANY SUPPORT. WE CAN CHANGE OR REMOVE THESE FEATURES WITHOUT NOTICE. EDITING THE SOFTWARE IS NOT PART OF YOUR PURCHASE PLEASE CONSIDER IT AN ADDED, UNSUPPORTED BONUS. As I promised earlier here is a little information about how to do some editing within Tower!3D. Let me use KLAX for an example. First of all you need to make a directory and subdirectory within Tower!3D Tower!3D ->Extensions -->Airfields --->KLAX (for example) Within the KLAX folder you can add any of these files: klax_airplanes.txt [you can define airplane types for KLAX ie.: AJT0-JT0-Widebody Default Jet -WIDE BODY JET ] klax_schedule.txt [schedules for klax] klax_terminal.txt [terminal.cfg] By creating any folder under T!3D/Extensions/Airfields/XXXX you can add these files and they will overwrite the default files for those airports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avwriter Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 What about airlines? can they be created/edited too? Does this mean that once Real Traffic has been released, that the schedule.txt files that are created for KLAX (Tower2011) by Mr. Parker's Schedule Creator could potentially work with Tower 3D, or does it use a new format? Once we have created such folders, if we decide we want to go back to the default setup, do we just delete or move the folders, or is there some other file that we must back up first?

FeelThere_Vic Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Please explain your question about airlines. Please tell me what exactly you wish to do (add liveries, add new airlines, etc) We haven't tested it yet but theoretically Dick's schedule creator should work as we didn't change the format, but let's see :) You are right; if you remove the directory then it goes back to the default setup.

achilles1971 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 The "Klax_terminal.txt", is it the same as in tower 2011 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me what exactly you wish to do (add liveries, add new airlines, etc) In your original message, you mentioned the three file types (airplanes.txt., schedule.txt., and terminal.txt) However, you did not mention the airlines.txt file. There is such a file in Tower2011, which can be modified by the user (for example, and old airline that no longer exists may be removed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrik Norgaard Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Here is a real schedule made with Schedule Creator 19 V1 for KLAX, just extract it into the main folder of Tower 3D, enjoy Henrik Extensions.rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem to work. Did it recognize the real aircraft types automatically, or did you have to assign them manually to the fake aircraft types currently included in the game?

Henrik Norgaard Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 I dont know which visual model and types they have in Tower 3D, but it will get the right aircraft from the schedule and airplanes.txt, so if they are included it will be used, if not it will use standard types and models as an example, WIDE BODY JET or TURBOPROP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avwriter Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Cool. That should hold us over until Real Traffic comes out. Thanks for your effort. I did not envision it would be so simple, and was sure that it would not work until Real traffic brought us a proper library of plane models. Some times it's nice to be proven wrong ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avwriter Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Okay, I am having a problem and looking for some ideas here. 1. After installing the files Henrik provided, it worked brilliantly. 2. I then created my own schedule using SC with more traffic (1500 flights over 24 hours) and that worked too. 3. Then I created one more schedule, with 2000 flights, and this time the sceneario would not load past 70 percent. It just hung there as others have described happening before the hotfix (I never experienced this). 4. I then reverted back to the schedule with 1500 flights (which had worked before), and the sim still hangs at 70% 5. I then removed the extensions file entirely, and the sim ran fine with default traffic. 6. Next I redownloaded Henrik's original Extension file set, thinking maybe somehow I messed something up, reinstalled them but the sim still hangs at 70%. I cannot for the life of me understand why the SC schedules would have worked perfectly before, and then suddenly start causing the game to hang at 70% every time. Anyone have any thoughts?

renhoef Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Avwriter, as Henrik Norgaard stated in another post, if you choose a time between midnight and 9 o'clock the sim hangs at 70% with real traffic. Same for me and maybe that is your problem too. Best regards, René Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avwriter Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Thank you sir. That explains it. Somehow I missed that. Yes, I had been tryign to run the game at sunrise, so naturally I hit that barrier. Nice to know that I am not going crazy in my old age. Ha ha. Hopefully , they will get it sorted out.

hawk1953 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 I tried the real traffic also. The only oddity I noticed is that all aircraft have plain white textures. Just want to check to see if this is normal :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avwriter Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Yes the extensions file will revert to white paint unless you have liveries designed for the airlines you are using. After all, would be pretty weird to have fake liveries showing up for real world airlines. Nyerges's Real Color will take care of this whenever it is released. Of course, first we will need the Real Traffic so what more aircraft types will be visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelThere_Vic Posted June 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Could someone please post a log file after the hotfix applied with this 70% issue? Does it happen with the original file (we supply) too? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Norgaard Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Here is a link to my other post as mentioned by renhoef, just curios to why someone edited the subject Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Norgaard Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 And no it does not happen with original file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelThere_Vic Posted June 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Please post the log when it happens. It could be an error within the schedule file too so we need to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
