whyevenbothernaming Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) Hello all, I'm very happy to announce my first ever custom schedule! This schedule is based off of flightradar24's history of August 20th, 2022 at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. A massive thanks to @rxangus for the program that made the original schedule file, which I edited to include regional airlines and to fix small bugs. There may be some white airplanes if you don't have the proper Real Color files. The only one I've noticed is Alaska's 737 Max 9, which requires KSFO's Real Color Pack. Installation: 1. Download the files here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RMuno8UEMTsLgBSVyrOch7JWNaeHRfAT/view?usp=sharing 2. Choose a time that you want to play, and select one of the snippets from the time you chose. 3. If you haven't already, back-up your Real Traffic files. 4. Copy and overwrite all files in the snippet into the KSEA folder. The folder should be located in one of these two places: Program Files/Games directory\(Feelthere\)Tower!3D Pro\Extensions\Airfields\KSEA Program Files/Games directory\Steam\steamapps\common\Tower 3D Pro\Extensions\Airfields\KSEA 5. Load up the game, select your desired starting time and have fun! Realistic Operation: This is not required, but if you want to have a realistic session, read this. It applies to times where traffic is moderate/heavy. I'm not too sure about the late night/morning flow. 1. Use runway 16L for takeoff. Use runway 16R for landing non-heavies and 16L for heavy aircraft. Don't use runway 16C except for taxiing and GA takeoffs. 2. Taxiway A does not exist in real life (to my knowledge) below L1. 3. Use B for traffic to taxi north (except at P and below). This means, for the most part, no traffic should taxi southbound on B, so if a plane parking in the south terminal exits at N, bring them down T or runway 16C to P or Q to cross runway 16L. 4. Only use Q for aircraft parked in the southern terminal. 4. Operate the northern terminal in a clockwise flow. This means arriving aircraft should go on L1 and departing should push back so they can go via L4. I suggest using EliGrim's tower3d.rec mod (https://eligrim.de/) so you can tell the aircraft "CALLSIGN, pushback approved, expect runway 16L via L4" so they push back the right direction. 5. Operate the southern terminal in a counter-clockwise flow. And that should be everything! If you have any questions, suggestions, or feedback (positive or negative), please reach out to me here or on Discord (whyevenbothernaming#2963). Thank you!

crbascott Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 14 hours ago, DeltaVII said: Right at this moment, planes are landing on 16C. Due to the proximity of 16C to 16L, 16C really can't be used for arrivals in normal/heavy or simultaneous operations. However, during lesser traffic it can obviously be used to lessen the taxi time from 16R. 21 hours ago, whyevenbothernaming said: Don't use runway 16C except for taxiing. Looking at 13:00 local time on Saturday (see totals below), 16C was only used twice - both GA departures. 16L was used for 3 arrivals, all heavies. Although not all heavies, as a couple (including a dreamliner) used 16R. 16L 16C 16R Arrivals 3 0 24 Departures 30 2 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whyevenbothernaming Posted August 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Where do you get this info? I'm interested. Usually when I'm just watching on fr24, I see heavies on 16L quite often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whyevenbothernaming Posted August 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 Did you buy the Airport Stats? I can't find the runway usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salad Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Thanks for the sharing the schedule, much appreciated. My attempts seem to take forever and never get finished anyway. I have played the snippy from 0800 to 0900 and no issues to report, all good. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
