Salad Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Dear Vic & Team, Congratulations on an outstanding piece of work. I am a "veteran" of BAO Tower (remember that? so much potential but not quite there) and Tower 2011. I have only in the last few weeks entered the Tower 3d pro world via steam. Oh my goodness what a step up! Sure there are a few little niggles here and there but over all an addictive and enjoyable experience. One thought though as it would have been good to have the type of errors made in the summary; somewhere along the line I lost some 7,000 points (rest assured no virtual lives were lost however, just operational errors I expect).

Methos Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 BAO Tower was a classic, wasn't it? I actually made an addon airport for that back in the day: KPHX - just never got to do the tower view. Spent many hours at KDCA with it's quirky behaviors (certain aircraft ALWAYS requested, "On the go request right turn out of traffic" - think it was anything departing runway 15). It WAS in a class by itself .. and now I think we'd all agree that Tower!3D Pro has captured that position. Of course it's got it's quirks too but still can't say enough good things about it.

hartleecub Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 The rotation and liftoff animation in BAO Tower remains in a class by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelThere_Vic Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 I loved BAO's Tower too :) KDCA was my favorite! Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hartleecub Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Mine, too, and that's why I think a T3DP for DCA would be great. Area-wise it was small enough to allow minimal scrolling but large enough to be challenging when you used the crossing runways. And with today's schedules, it could really give you a workout. SAN is a little funky, what with its displaced threshold and other issues. DCA would be a winner, hands-down and I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Robert Berry Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 I'll second the vote for DCA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky King Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 It would be a day one buy for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crbascott Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 I would definitely get it too ... after it went on sale. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelThere_Vic Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Let me drop the hint to Gary and Gabor :) We are pretty busy with two unreleased airports :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methos Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 hartleecub .. crossing runways are part of what makes KBOS a fun challenge too. (cough cough - cheap plug for KBOS :p ) Not only that but, the "joy" of Cape Air being vectored into your perfect plan for arrivals! It's fine when they're coming in on 4R/22L .. you just sidestep them to 4L/22R but when you're dealing with say, 9/27, that's another story. C402 coming in just above seagull speed with a big DC10 bearing down makes for an interesting time! Tower!2011 was fun bringing them down on 22R as well because, now that you have the runways sorted and lateral separation is no longer an issue, now you have the added joy of getting that little twin prop to the gate! Landing on 22R, the C402 would taxi off at N1! So if you've got the famous lineup for 22L all down N, that bird isn't going anywhere for a while and when it does, you're holding up EVERYONE on A and B at N! Emotionally, I came to fear Cape Air calling the tower. Lol ~ John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelThere_Vic Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 I'm not saying KBOS is the next release after KLAS... but KBOS is the next release after KLAS :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
