Control Tower “Vehicle”
-
Hi JF
I’ve been using your Traffic products for several of its, and FS’, incarnations.
I remember in earlier versions you provided us with moveable control towers which were, I believe, classed as vehicles. They came in three sizes, small, medium and large. Their height corresponded with the size you selected, so a large airfield tower would be the tallest.
We could “drive” these towers about and place them exactly where we wanted to in the airport. You had to be careful not to move it too fast or they could topple over, especially the higher towers 🤣
Once set up we could sit in the control tower and watch the traffic move about, depart and arrive. It would look like we were really in a control tower.
Will we ever see that in this incarnation of the product?
Thank you.

' Spotty' and the tower were actually 'aircraft' and were moved around in slew mode. Probably not something we would repeat in that way. There may be other ways to achieve the same result, but not sure how.

That’s him! Spotty! 😄
You are right. The same result can be achieved by using the game’s drone camera and just positioning it inside the airport’s control tower.
I was just curious. 👍

Sadly, Spotty was as popular as a rattlesnake in a lucky dip. I think he was ditched around the time of Traffic X or 360.

Aww.
RIP Spotty. 😔
