VRC tower view works only with FS9. Euroscope supports tower view on FSX.

Hi Ross

 

Sorry for the bump and digging up old posts...

 

Seen your posts regarding VRC & FSX, is there anything planned in the future to have it working with FSX?

 

Would be great though. I am just starting to use it now and I am not sure what to have in the future but ES has a bit the advantage at the moment...

No, I have no plans to update VRC to work with FSX.

Well, tried some options last night as posted on the several forums, but cant get it to work so far.

It would make much sense though to have a tower view in FSX as it would make the job much more easy when working on ground

Understand though if there is a limitation on how FSX, FSInn, SB etc is built.

 

Thanks Ross

There is no limitation on how FSX, VRC, FSINN or Euroscope are built. Ross stated that VRC will only work with Fs9 if you want a twr view. Your [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ertion that you will attempt to create a work around was bound to fail as already stated by ross.

 

Their is a solution Euroscope.

 

Failing that you can use the 3d twr view mode in VRC which is an excellent aid for those who wish to see the airfeild in that manner. I used it when I used VRC myself.

p.s. Why would having a twr view make it easier to work grd? as a grd controller you will have a representation of your airports smr, there is no need to have a 3d view of that to run a grd position.

It may would make it easier visually as i like to work like that and further having FSX as a simulation that would make sense to use it in correspondence with VRC, its personal taste.

 

I am just starting so Euroscope i have not discovered entirely but it looks less appealing to me, however that is personal too.

 

You mean the 3d radar? Yes I am using that too, that is the best so far, back to the CGA times...

Thanks Wycliffe
