MJKERR Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 I have only used Tower 2011 Heathrow As discussed in previous topics, after an upgrade to Windows 10 v1909 my laptop has stopped running this program So I have had to no choice to purchase a new computer in order to run this, and prepare for Tower 3D I was at the stage where I had modified Tower 2011 Heathrow quite heavily Summer 2019 timetable, with correct runway and Terminal use I am therefore looking to purchase to one airport for Tower 3D, that is as similar to Heathrow as possible The majority of flights are wide-body / International There are two parallel runways and the main terminal is between them A cargo terminal Any and all advice welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hexzed Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Before you pay money for Atlanta, there is an issue with terminal F not open for heavies, and taxi issues with the southernmost runway. The rest of the airport works ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crbascott Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Atlanta is not a haven for heavies and it is a resource hog. I'd definitely recommend looking elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly👆 My recommendations: 1.) JFK has terminals between main runways 13s-31s, with cargo, and plenty of international traffic 2.) Munich with it's parallel runways also good option for intl flights+cargo but mainly LH (like BA at Heathrow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achilles1971 Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Why all these issues with airports are not fixed is beyond me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avwriter Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Keep in mind that Vic has stated that EGLL is planned for Tower 3D, though no info has been given on where it currently lies in the production order. As for your request, in terms of layout, EDDM and KPHX are probably the closest, but neither of those airports caters to heavies. In terms of the features/function you ask for, OMDB and EDDF are your best bets. lots of heavies and traffic, parallel runways, and they are really nice looking add-ons. OMDB probably has more heavies, but Frankfurt has a traffic mix that is closer to Heathrow Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJKERR Posted June 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 EDDM appears to be my first choice The chart looks to be the closest Equally, I can then have one runway for departures and one for arrivals KPHX is my second choice Again, very similar Equally, the Cargo terminal is to the other side of one runway which presents the challenge of crossing an active runway Today I have been comparing the above two with the Real files available This has then shown that ODMB may be a third option My preference is a higher ratio of International flights I assume the real files can be shared (I would then just need to work out how) Example The BA A350 from ODMB can be loaded into KPHX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then the same thing goes with liveries in Real Color. For example, if you have RC for OMDB and it contains the BA A350, then this livery can be seen at any other airport. Again, with an appropriately created schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, with an appropriately created schedule. Yes, that is part of my plan This summer there should have been some BA fleet changes, thankfully the aircraft are available but had not yet been applied to the airports This will also help me when EGLL is released, I will be well placed to refine and create a summer 2019 version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJKERR Posted June 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Decided to go with EDDM and OMDB Plenty of Charts for EDDM However, I am struggling to find suitable Taxiway and Parking charts for OMDB The main issue is the angle / orientation (heading), as I am used to EGLL Are there any that have been rotated in landscape format?

Can you please provide the inform you got that says EGLL is the next airport to be released? I've heard others talk about it being planned in the works but not worked on and planned to be next.

Possible short term solution There are four charts, but each is slightly different Added white edges / borders to enlarge to each Opened up Paint, then rotated it, cropped, and saved each as JPG Next I had to crop each of the JPG images, then merge into one Quite a faff, but I now have one chart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
