What I find handy is when I see there will be a taxiway conflict if an aircraft continues, I will say taxi to terminal via ***hold short of taxiway*** . It helps a bunch. For example here if an aircraft was taxing along C and is blocking the aircraft you want to taxi you could say, "AAL001 taxi to terminal via H, M, C9, C hold short of taxiway B" rather than wait until they are close and say "AAL001 Hold position."
If you ever do a 3 hour season just upload it. honestly I will watch the whole thing without fail every time. This is he closest I'll get to playing this game.
@JeffFavignano @BayAreaBuggs - If you're wanting a takeoff at a taxiway intersection ("shortened takeoff") the command line is " @ via ". (i.e. AAL1234 Runway 25R @F via C - KLAX example) This is given after the push. Also, to assist ground operations, the smaller taxiways between K / C and D / E (for KLAX) are sequentially numbered, so using one that is already labeled you can easily figure out the number for those that are missing. (i.e. to the right of C9 - would be C8, C7, C6) Hope this helps!
Also, to aid in expediting the taxi to gate, you can "pre-load" the route on an arrival by instructing them to exit at a specific taxiway. (provided they are able) After clearing the aircraft to land - " exit at " OR " vacate at taxiway " (the latter being for crossing taxiways) Keep in mind, if the taxiway is further than the aircraft could actually exit, they will "roll out" to the designated taxiway at taxi speed unless you give the exiting instruction BEFORE they disappear from the DBRITE.
I hope they make an update or DLC that has international voices in it for the pilots. It would add just that little bit more immersion for the controllers.
Wish there was either Heathrow or Gatwick... with ICAO language instead of FAA, it'd be worlds of fun, plus I'm sure there are some benefits of playing this, memory gain, increased mental flexibility etc.
When you try to tell a heading to an aircraft that is about to take off, the air traffic controllers usually say clear for take off after take off turn heading
They should add Gatwick, that is quite a hectic airport, with the mixture of things like the Etihad A380 and Flybe Dash-8's all using the airport, I would think that would be a good addition.
TBH I think the most crazy time be around like 1 or 2 o'clock atleast that how it is at my airport. Cause we got all the overseas flight and stuff like that coming in around that time.
I tried KATL at 100% during peak hours - that got insane very quickly! Super fun game, and though it's a little simplistic in terms of commands, it's hours of fun and way more realistic than most similar games. I'd prefer to handle real (virtual) air traffic though, and am tempted to go through the VATSim training - my only concern is that the vatsim servers aren't always busy enough to simulate the real thing. Hopefully they'll take this voice recognition technology and apply it to their TRACON series, that'd be super fun!
Hey Jeff, not sure if you heard yet or not, but the plan from the game developers is........Las Vegas (KLAS) a next, followed by Phoenix & Boston. Great airports and lots of traffic.
If Jeff or anyone else can answer this, I'd be appreciative. How do you get them to taxi via certain taxiways. It won't respond to me saying anything with via. My planes just taxi where they went to.
ReviewsTechNow there is a short tutorial, however it's not very well done imo. If you need assistance you can look up all airline callsigns and commands on the internet though
This has been a topic since release, and they are apparently working on having them added at some point in the future. Though they do not make clear when. I'd recommend a google search as there are many useful links that can be found.
Hey guys - starting out just bought the game , and i have the command line showing but not the tabs below it ? Is there something i have to do to enable it ?
Jeff, not gonna lie, this series has made me start to have a thing for planes. Please continue multiplayer with buggs!
I think bugs did a great job for his first time doing ground control.
Dog in the tower? Is that a seeing eye dog? :P

Please do more vids of Tower!3D really enjoying it!!
Next step, drag Buggs into the cockpit with ya and get him flying also
watching this with a good ol' belgian beer (duvel)! pure joy. Thx Jeff and Bugs from belgium ;)
I love it that Buggs is questioning every command he makes
Something you DEFINITELY want to hear your ATC controller doing lol
@@paymenomind1604 LOL
Despite the obvious flaws with the game, it's clearly a fun game so I will buy it. Great vids, it's taught me what to do when I get it! Thanks.

So one they are on the ADIRS then you can give that instruction and they do it at speed?
Jeff, can you please do more of this with Buggs?
Thank you Jeff. I love these videos
I hope they make an update or DLC that has international voices in it for the pilots. It would add just that little bit more immersion for the controllers.
Doubt it. It works off Microsoft's speech software.
Wish there was either Heathrow or Gatwick... with ICAO language instead of FAA, it'd be worlds of fun, plus I'm sure there are some benefits of playing this, memory gain, increased mental flexibility etc.
yeah I would love to see that as well!
next time try a busy time for international flights so we can different call signs
Why do I find this fascinating to watch?!?!
Because it is fascinating.
When you try to tell a heading to an aircraft that is about to take off, the air traffic controllers usually say clear for take off after take off turn heading
not always
At the Intro, that's the intro music that DECS Dude uses for his makeup races.
They should add Gatwick, that is quite a hectic airport, with the mixture of things like the Etihad A380 and Flybe Dash-8's all using the airport, I would think that would be a good addition.
Great Video Jeff. Really enjoying this multiplayer with Buggs. Keep up the great work . :)
We have kennedy Steve and now LAX Jeff
Lmao
Pride Before the Fall by Ethan Meixsell is the intro song for those who are wondering
TBH I think the most crazy time be around like 1 or 2 o'clock atleast that how it is at my airport. Cause we got all the overseas flight and stuff like that coming in around that time.
Look forward to watching this once I have some more free time 🙃 nice work Jeff 👌🏻
Classic Tower3D Pro and its Jopin Air.
Sadly theyve fixed that so it says japan RIP Jopin

Living next to SFB I feel like Allegiant is a no brainer
Not gonna lie. Ive never like airplane games. But this game is really interesting
It's like a puzzle!
Do New York city next
Where in the hell was that Allegiant flight going? OAKB? That's Kabul, Afghanistan...
I feel like you guys could handle a lot more incoming traffic, especially having split responsibilities. Is there any way to have more than this?
Amsterdam airport( Schiphol) in the Netherlands woulde be awesome if they put that in
some international airports would be nice in the game. Schiphol (EHAM) would be nice with the runways in the different directions.
1) Does this game work on OS X?
2) @JeffFavignano Which DLCs/Add Ons did you buy?
No its windows only sorry.
Thanks for sharing this game. Hope to get it sometime soon.
If they have a KBOS DLC, you should try it. I think it would be a challenge with the different runways in different directions.
Buggs does a good job on ground :)
Hey Jeff, not sure if you heard yet or not, but the plan from the game developers is........Las Vegas (KLAS) a next, followed by Phoenix & Boston. Great airports and lots of traffic.
*KLAS
flamespirit919 ha. Oops. I was playing KLaX when I wrote that. Was in that so cal frame of mind haha.
Buggs has anger issue
Jeff I would like to play a multiplayer session with you
Sick intro Jeff!!
Great video as always I'm a big fan of you polecat and buggs keep up he good work ps I can't stop saying there it's is and seems legit
Me too
Thomas Neikirk 😂😂
What
I have no idea but this is one video that helps me sleep at night
I do Atlanta a lot by myself and it is crazy
id like to try this game but it seems pretty difficult to learn everything
It's actually not. It just takes a little practice. Read the manual, that helps!
When are you going to do another tornado mod
Good game guys, like the MP!
Baltimore would be so cool in this game
Do you stream on this Channel or Twitch? And do you have a livestream schedule? Great videos!
Brian Raneri he streams on Twitch
Dude, my Razer headset does the same thing as your mouse, its so annoying
jeff is so fast, and buggs is slow lol
So many annoying bugs...
Also would be more interesting if were other airports than US ones.
Is this gonna be on Buggs channel??
Here's a command I think you'll find handy: "-Callsign- Runway XY Cleared For Takeoff Upon Reaching Altitude 1000/1500/2000 Contact Departure"
we don't do that here in the US and I don't plan on using it.
I think Jeff should be ground.
I was last time on my main channel
Jeff Favignano I know I saw. I just think that whenever you and buggs do it again, you should be ground.
Does this game require a quad core or a dual core?
dog?
.....wait...
there's dog fighting in this?
heh!
If Jeff or anyone else can answer this, I'd be appreciative. How do you get them to taxi via certain taxiways. It won't respond to me saying anything with via. My planes just taxi where they went to.
[callsign] runway [nmbr] taxi via [taxi way - - - ]
Heres what it sounds like
Speedbird0941 runway 24L taxi via Echo Bravo bravo 2
Maciek Games ok thanks. I'll give it a shot next time I play :).
MisshappenSteed try pronnounce it v-e-a, not via
Google the manual.. lots of commands there
How powerful should your computer be to play this game on medium settings? Also, does it work with Windows via Bootcamp?
Are there tutorials in the game? It seems overwhelming to learn
ReviewsTechNow there is a short tutorial, however it's not very well done imo. If you need assistance you can look up all airline callsigns and commands on the internet though
is there KSAN? If yes can you check it out?
there is KSAN but it doesn't come with the game
Im Vegan KSAN is a paid DLC along with Atlanta.
Jeff, do you stream on twitch with this?
Yes.
The game is sweet.
Jeff can I play with u sometime?
Nice intro man
Love the music
Hi Jeff hope u had a good day!
By the way OAKB is in Afghanistan 😂😂😂😂😂
what u live in stl
Wow what about in mobile phone we can pay like infinite flight please jeff
If any one is down to play tower3d multiplayer hit me up
the aa111d is a delayed flight
how did you get realistic flight skins and callsigns?
You have to buy it i think
This will be interesting
anyone know if there are cargo/freight planes?
This has been a topic since release, and they are apparently working on having them added at some point in the future. Though they do not make clear when. I'd recommend a google search as there are many useful links that can be found.
Yes. I have landed FedEx and UPS flights
I am your biigggest fan Jeff sir and I am from Nadiad
AAL 111 code zero
You should back to gta
Maybe a stupid question buy do you need a mic for the pro version?
Yes.
Only if you plan to voice control. You can still use the click commands to control the planes.
i am from sweden and i wonder how to use my mic i cant change the land to uk
Frock the background music
I subscribed
Thanks man!
Archer Ahern your 1st
Hey guys - starting out just bought the game , and i have the command line showing but not the tabs below it ? Is there something i have to do to enable it ?
I just got it as well, but I haven't run into this. The tabs shoud show up once you select an aircraft...do you use the voice commands?
I thought this was live
Its live on Twitch :) He uploads here if some people can't watch live :)
Thanks
I love you
