From the bottom of page 21 of the Tower!2011 manual:

Continuous Tower! 2011 controlling time is limited to four hours. This limitation is similar to real-
world mandatory break restrictions for air traffic controllers, and the game's scheduler logic
limitation for airport traffic. If you wish to control for longer than four hours just restart play by
pressing the START button on the Tower/Select Simulation page; you do not need to close the
program.

eeek, never noticed that!
Limit for operators at EGLL is 2 hours, followed by a 30 minute break
That was what I was using
I did complete one shift from 07:00 to 10:00, that was about the limit of what is physically possible!

Wow, what a difference
My previous problem / issue with the FlyBe duplicate aircraft has also disappeared
Such a shame we never noticed at the time
I have now used 5.0 hours as the standard schedule (06:00, 10:00, 15:00 and 19:00 start times)
It looks as if I might be able to remove the need to use remote stands as well!

I think I have had my first Go Around

Delta B764 arrival on runway 27R
Cleared to Land, as required
However, when it visually appeared it was higher than normal
It passed over the runway and continued on the same heading

As a result I instructed the departure on the parallel runway to turn left 45 degrees, to avoid any chance of a penalty

The Delta did not make any communication
It never reappeared for arrival

Be sure to save your work.  Tower2011 timetables are the same format as those for Tower 3D, so it will work whenever they release EGLL for T3D

I started on the conversion of my Tower 2011 schedule yesterday
There are quite a few changes that have to be made

The main issue is the update to aircraft
My timetable is based on Summer 2019
In Tower 2011 this then meant rolling back any recent aircraft
For example the Virgin B787, rolled back to either A346 or B744

The next issue is verifying all the airlines
As there were some gaps I tried to use all the Real Colours that were available for Tower 2011
Some of these airlines have ceased operations, such as Kingfisher and German Wings

I had also avoided using remote stands in Tower 2011, for Terminals 3, 4 and 5C
As Tower 3D uses all the stands this actually eliminates stand blocking and dropped aircraft / flights

I am about two thirds of the way through this conversion
Sadly there are some compromises, as there are no specific A380 stands separated in Tower 3D
When using the default Real Traffic schedule I noticed some really strange views!
