Tower3D Pro 3.1d - Issue with nav lights on the terminals


DeltaVII

Recommended Posts

Sorry for "hijacking" the announcement topic.

One thing that happens since the latest update is that after reaching the terminals and shutting down, landed aircraft keep their nav lights on, which leads to the apron looking like a christmas tree after some time. Is that a wanted effect?

I don't know about your specific situation, but in the game, nav lights are generally on if an aircraft is preparing for an imminent departure.   Thus, if an arriving plane is doing a quick turn-around, it may never shut off its lights, whereas one that is expected to sit at the gate for a longer period will shut them off.

I worked in the engineering dept. of 2 airlines. One turned them off after shutdown, the other did not. It seems it us up to the operators procedures.

The thing that annoys me more than that is the flashing beacon still on top of the fin as well as on top of the fuselage. To my knowledge no modern aircraft type still has the beacon on the fin & certainty none have the beacon on the top of the fuselage & the fin.

A little job for Gabor to remove the fin beacon light.

I should really start a new topic for this one

Even those who don't restart withing three hours of gameplay keep their lights on.
