Thanks Ashton. That is the case. I couldn't have made it any clearer and put this in 2 places but this guy never reads stuff properly and fires off keyboard warrior statements.

I have also added the details included in the soon to be released RETRO RC pack from Nygeres Design. Quote * UPDATED 22nd June 2020 * Version History: Vs 19: Published 22nd June 2020 - Updated with KSEA RC details following release of FeelThere Seattle Tacoma Airport plus details of upcoming RETRO pack from Nygeres Design.

MJKERR Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 This has been a great resource for me over the last two days, OMDB However unlike Tower 2011 where I could use the Plane Editor to check which code to use, I cannot find one Some examples flydubai B738_fz (using the ICAO code) 738 (assumed from the ICAO code) 73H (this code appears in the schedule.txt file instead) FEDEX M11F_fz M11F M1F British Airways b772_ba 772 772 British Airways b777_ba Unknown, this could by any of four!

Pedantic G Posted June 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 Use the airplanes.txt file for an airport (in your case OMDB) to search and inform you of the 3 digit code to use for schedules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BI7 BWN - DXB BI8 DXB - BWN Neither of these flights are in the original schedule file So my choices are A339_bi B788_bi However, I need to know what code to enter into the schedule file Another example is S7 airlines Missing from the original schedule file 32N Again, I do not know which A320 code to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hexzed Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 As Gary said use the airplanes.txt file. Search for the ICAO code, and the 3 digit IATA that follows it is the one that you use in the schedule. Generally Airbus drop the A, and Boeing drop the B. So in your examples the codes you use are 339 and 788 respectively Furthermore for the B777 example you just use 777 to get the livery to show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hexzed Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 Yeah in this case it is different, as I said generally that is the rule. In this case a google search reveals the 32N is the A320 Neo. Therefore checking the airplanes file, the A320 Neo is A20N and in turn 20N in the schedule 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have almost completed arrivals for OMDB However, I still have no aircraft for BI7 and BI8 as they are not in the original file and I still not have any A339 in use by another airline A339_bi B788_bi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crbascott Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 @mjkerr Welcome to the joys of custom schedule making, the limitations of Tower!3D Pro, and the ultimate reliance on RT/RC. I’d suggest starting a new thread if you have more comments/questions as the recent posts don’t necessarily relate to the master list maintained by @Pedantic G.

This is the reference point for schedule builders to show you the correct 3 digit aircraft code to use in your schedules for what ever airport you are doing and then cross reference this to my community Master List to see what airport the RC is in.

Excellent This was the only file had not archived from the original files Compared my Tower 2011 file and I had amended that so that the fictitious aircraft had the codes from real aircraft I will now repeat this for a template which I can then use throughout Tower 3D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
