TxCowboy Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Greetings. Having just purchased Tower 3d Pro and loving it, I"m looking at Tracon 2012 now, however I read somewhere that Tracon doesn't have terrain height modeled? Is this correct?

wsuch Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hi I beleive that is correct no lsalt overlays, i found that to be a bad oversight but the best solution is to download sectionals for the area and familariase youself with lsalts for each sector entry, get the steam version its called tracon 2012 se and the latest Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxCowboy Posted February 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Thanks. I've tried the tower sims and really like Tower 3d. As for TRACON sims, that's what I'm trying to decide now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this correct? @wsuchmentions there are no LSALT overlays. I'm not familiar with that terminology, but am familiar with MVA charts - which I think is more applicable to ATC. As far as Tracon!2012 goes, an MVA overlay is not available but obstacles (mountains, etc.) are modeled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well an MVA would be handy, but if terrain obstacles are modeled then that's the answer I was looking for. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsuch Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hi Lsalt = lowest safe altitude, i think tracon is worth getting, it has a large voice command base and the phraseology is fairly realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsuch Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 I gave tracon se its first real run tonight controlling both approach and departure at lax, it was excellent fun and the voice recognition was outstanding, i am also really enjoying tower 3d pro but still on ksan not ready yet for the bigger airports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
