Since it's a 3D simulator most of the SDK is Unity based. Hey Vic just want to make sure I am understanding correctly. Are you saying we will need/use Unity 3D to modify/create airports? And in the scenario above, re-label terminals/gates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawa666 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 On 3/11/2022 at 6:33 AM, FeelThere_Vic said: This is something that you will be able to do in Tower! Simulator 3 by assigning new "terminal" names to certain gates and assign the right airline in the terminal.cfg Every gate will be editable so you can create new terminals by individual gates. In T1S3 you can assign "international" or "domestic" parameters to terminals too. The big canadian airports have Domestic, US, and international gates, will we be able to assing a specific country destination to a terminal?

At CYVR the transborder terminal exists in the Tower 3D version but there is no way to assign transborder flights to it, and the problem wouldn't be solved just by having the option to designate a terminal as international, domestic or regional since transborder flights are separate from each of those categories. So I agree being able to assign specific gates to arrivals is important for realism as it's probably impossible to teach an AI to assign gates in a realistic way.

To re-label gates likely you wont need Unity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crbascott Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 Agreed - I’m definitely not in favor of having to create dummy airlines. Unless it can be done “internally” and doesn’t impact what you would see or say as a controller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you could say u untied domestic and untied international but still use the untied call sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cwiara Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 Will there be an option to send the plane after arrival from the terminal gates to the parking stands? Sometimes let's say in EDDF at terminal 1Z, in T3DPRO when widebodies arrived, the gates were occupied for so long time and the game took next departing widebody flights from the stands away from the main terminal, or when starting the game in early hours 1Z was already occupied by widebodies which were destined to depart few hours later which is not close to reality, it would be fun if something like planes moving option could become available to release the gates from longer rotations.
