Agrajag Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Does Tower support a Crossing command as in, "United 871, cross runway 1R"? Trying to figure out how to keep planes from having to come to a near-complete or complete stop at runway crossings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hexzed Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 If you use "hold short of runway/taxiway xx" xx being the next runway/taxiway that you want it to stop at. If you require it not to hold short of anything, xx should be a taxiway or runway that is not in its path, and will continue all the way to its gate. Just be careful, as once you continue after the hold short, the plane will not stop for anything else until it reaches its gate Hopefully Cross Runway commands will be included in the next version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just picked up SFO today and man, it's 50% commands of Continue Taxi. Phew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hexzed Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Never really noticed. However I'm not from the region, and have got used to things like that not being quite right 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't see the ocean from SFO, as it is blocked by the high mountains west of the city. The water you see is San Francisco Bay, which is on the east side of the airport.

Yep, like Andrew wrote. Thread linked below shows 'eastish' view of KSFO and pretty close to RW. In RW one, on a clear day, can see the far shore and rising hills in far distance. To simulate that would be a FPS hit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrajag Posted August 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Thanks guys. I forgot that the airport sits on the bay side. Doh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
