Control Tower (Read 366 times)

I just suggested in another post to make a control tower.
But there's one bad thing.......:
How can I make a control tower?? Roll Eyes

I'd like to model it in FSDS what would be no problem,
but don't I need to make some special parts, maybe a tower-view reference part,
and how to name it?

Are there other things to do when making a control tower? Maybe in AFCAD?

As you mention Afcad I'll guess your working in FS2004,

If your talking about a scenery object, you would create and place the tower and then with afcad set the 'Tower' view point. That view of course is locked to the player ac.

If your talking about a 'working' tower, with you as the controller, you can basically create an aircraft with the cockpit as the controllers station. This has been done before, I'll see if I can find the download.

You know....you can just rip up a to-do list.

Yes, that's what I meant. Thanks!
