Tower! Simulator 3: A Beginner’s Guide

[@apexpredator7536]

Real ATC here. 1. Set priorities, generally speaking, aircraft in the sky are more important than aircraft on the ground (except for an emergency on the ground obviously). So deconflict anything in the sky and then go to ground. 2. Plan ahead, if you have an arrival and a departure that you notice will use the same taxi route, try to either change the route of one of them, or hold one of them in position somewhere before they meet nose to nose. 3. Be proactive. If you have the ability to do something right then and there and it won't conflict with any other traffic, knock it out because you will more then likely forget about things when you get busy. 4. Don't get glued to your screens. You should always be scanning your airport. In laymans terms...look out your windows 5. Physically locate an aircraft before speaking to it. You won't believe just how much this simple tip can help you see the big picture of what you're doing

[@FeelThere]

Sorry for missing the previous videos matey, was in Germany visiting friends but i'm back now and are currently catching up on the videos i've missed. great video, lovely simplified and short explanations, very good for people new to radio talk. Keep up the fantastic work mate, going to watch the previous video now.

[@razorsharpshark]

[@Rik_NL]

[@razorsharpshark]

Of course!

[@ryebold552]

I was hoping you'd do this!

[@razorsharpshark]

That's awesome! Hopefully it was helpful!

[@ThomasGrillo]

Thanks for the concise tutorial! Now, to figure out if I will be able to play this game with my vision. LOL

[@sam177plays]

thank i was wanting this

[@razorsharpshark]

No problem!!

[@Engineer_Eric_59]

Thank you. great video. Helped a lot.

[@razorsharpshark]

Glad to hear it!

[@birdylover2338]

Excellent. Even the music was unobtrusive and had lots of variety. Just to clarify - 'cleared for immediate takeoff' isn't so much an urgency concept. If the a/c is on the taxiway and you give them 'cleared for immediate takeoff' they will roll onto the runway and pretty much roll into takeoff mode; 'cleared for takeoff' under the same circumstances they will roll onto the runway, noticeably pause, and then roll for takeoff. I believe it's mostly a courtesy to the pilot to help get them on their way by using the 'immediate' option, if that works for you. If you're having to urge them on to immediately take off with speed - not good. Your example with 'line up and wait' was well chosen. From there you can go to 'cleared for takeoff' when you see fit.

[@williamwatkins821]

Great video! Just a heads up, we say METAR as "mee-tar"

[@razorsharpshark]

Wow, I sound dumb. Thank you for the information!

[@meredithmoore6884]

Interesting. I'm up in Canada and I've only ever heard people up here say it like he said it, never "mee-tar". Maybe that's a US/Can difference.

[@razorsharpshark]

@@meredithmoore6884 I live right on the border of Michigan and Canada so I guess I can say both 🤷‍♂️

[@duggi4]

Can you play this game without voice recognition? i also don't enjoy typing commands into a box. Would i be able to click on a plane and assign a command from a drop down menu ?

[@CUfkes]

yes. i use a txt file with pre filled commands and use pause all the time.

[@fredelliott6985]

You mention vectoring. What is that about? Also, when I send a plane to departure at takeoff if I use the frequency or say good morning, evening day it will say negative but if I say only contact departure it goes just fine

[@razorsharpshark]

So vectoring is the process of me giving instructions for turning an aircraft, usually done to get them on the final approach course or after a missed approached.

[@midsubspace7432]

What is the best map to start on for doing singleplayer?

[@razorsharpshark]

TIST is what I would recommend to get used to commands and such. If you want something with two runways, give KRDU a shot!

[@Rose.E-e7k]

Can some one tell me why he said rainier or what ever

[@Tulstoleyourtoast]

Callsign

[@tomaz9601]

thanks for the tutorial but you forgot to teach how to operate that strip monitor

[@razorsharpshark]

Sorry about that! I didn’t see it as a vital part of Tower Simulator!

[@MrHYDRO84]

Is this voice recognition only?

[@wingsmeetswilderness]

No, you have option type your commands or click on the aircraft command box.

[@MrHYDRO84]

@@wingsmeetswilderness thank you

[@razorsharpshark]

They actually updated the game with a great non verbal UI!

[@albertob8336]

change runway landing dont work ????

[@AyushArunRao-cb8hr]

Do you think it will run on a 8gb ram laptop ? the minimum says 16gb ram which seems quite high for such a game.

[@razorsharpshark]

I’d say you could get away with it!

[@aviatorrene8136]

Does Tower 3 runs on WD11?

[@RomePlaysYT]

How much do the real airlines cost to buy?

[@razorsharpshark]

It is 30 USD.

[@gotbordercollies]

It is worth every penny

[@RomePlaysYT]

@@razorsharpshark do you buy it from in game

[@razorsharpshark]

@@RomePlaysYT You have to buy it from their website

[@RomePlaysYT]

@@razorsharpshark kk ty

[@chuck7299]

It's cool, but not nearly worth $60, plus $20 for EACH addon airport.

[@TheSusyBoi]

Do you have a discord or anything?

[@razorsharpshark]

I don’t, but I am thinking about making one!
