blacklabelbraai Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Hi everyone I just installed T3DPro, no add-ons enabled and I must say I'm somewhat underwhelmed with the amount of traffic at KPHL. Same goes for TIST but I kinda expected that. What sort of traffic volume am I expected to see, with traffic flow set at 100%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripskin Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Depends on the airport but the default game never really pushed things too far. You can look at the schedules in the airports directory and see how many come each hour. If you want it to get more challenging the real traffic mod and custom schedules here on the forums really change things up. Real color is optional if you want the planes to look proper vs plane white. But most airports will share the big / common airlines in the same country so you can get away with one or two real colors and some white planes elsewhere.

pete_agreatguy Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 @blacklabelbraai, The default Real Traffic schedule traffic volumes can be found here: Tower3D Default Schedules (Real Traffic) - Album on Imgur I would HIGHLY recommend installing one of the many Custom Schedule's found here: Computer Help Blog: Tower 3D (inc. Pro) Custom Schedule's list :) Quote ****** RECOMMENDED SNIPPETS ***** ==================================================================== ICAO / Start Time / Finish Time (24 hour clock) / Day (if applicable) EDDM (hexzed) - 0900-1300 KBOS (jonas) = 0800-1000 KJFK (crbascott weekly) = 1500-1700 mon KLAS (crbascott weekly) = 1200-1400 mon KLAX (crbascott weekly) = 0800-1000 tue KLGA (hexzed) = 0800-1200 KMCO (battlehawk weekly) = 1500-1900 sat KPHL (scoutyu) = 1500 onwards KPHX (crbascott weekly) = 1700-1900 mon KSAN (hexzed) = 1800-0000 KSFO (scoutyu) = Full day schedule - busier onwards from 0900 or 1100 - hard airport to do proper runway config (28's for arrivals and 1's for departures) #blame game bugs LEBL (battlehawk weekly) = 1100-1500 mon TIST (hexzed) = 1400-1900 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabelbraai Posted April 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Thanks! I thought though that to install one of the customized schedules I need to purchase Real Traffic and Real Color as well? You really are a great guy 🙂 Of course we share the same first name so I might be biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_agreatguy Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Real Traffic would certainly be required but Real Colour isn't. You would however, see white liveries everywhere. I would recommend Real Traffic to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a difference! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hexzed Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 If you use my custom schedule, the traffic is upped even more 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete_agreatguy Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Those that I posted above are my recommendations. NOTE: KLAX has 130 aircraft in that hour 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're brand new it can seem a little hectic. But its not too bad. Do it a few times and things will be smoother. Also you don't have to get fancy with lengthy commands and adjustments for routing etc. Start simple and grow from there :) Also if you watch any of my vids you see I am far from great at this lol. TIST is fun because of one runway making things difficult but I love a well laid out airport with tons of traffic. I believe I have played both of the TIST schedules but cant recall the other one, Hexzed's I played a few times recently and it was good fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliGrim Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 @blacklabelbraai don't be afraid of hexzed's schedule. It is a really good one and you'll get used to it. https://forum.simflight.com/topic/86112-tower-3d3d-pro-custom-schedule-for-tiststt-v30/ If you prefer a slightly easier approach, try my schedule. Here you only have to deal with 10 different airlines and some GA traffic. 1200h should be a pleasant entry point. Basically, I've created the schedule for myself to get used to the game, without being over- or underchallenged in the early stages. https://forum.simflight.com/topic/86474-custom-schedules-by-eligrim-eddm-klax-kphl-tist/ Maybe my little reference card will help, too. https://forum.simflight.com/topic/86407-quickstart-reference-card-voice-commands/ More detailed is rameus' PDF, as a much more usable manual than the original one. https://forum.simflight.com/topic/84559-tower3d-pro-user-manual-annotated/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hexzed Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Thanks @EliGrim 🙂 @blacklabelbraai try as many custom schedules as you can, and even have a go yourself 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
