Tower for FS

Has anyone considered creating a simple object such as a dot, box or even flat plane for use as the VRC tower aircraft in FS? It should be created with no panel or sounds, and only the minimum required entries in the .air file and aircraft.cfg so that it is selectable in the FS aircraft menu.

 

Just an idea.

I think it'd be a great idea to have some QUIET background noise. Like whispered chatters..maybe a keyboard typing or a printer printing. I must say that when I experienced the sound of rain falling on the top of my "towering cessna," it was the first time that I actually felt like I was standing inside rather than hovering several hundred feet above the ground.

for Tower view on VRC, I don't have any sound, I haven't tested it full apart from knowing that it connects and shows what I see on the VRC scope. I downloaded ATC Tower from flightsim.com and then loaded that up instead of using an aircraft and changing the .cfg file.

The only problem is I needed to [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ign a "slew" key (I disabled it as it began to get annoying accidentally pressing it) and then slew to where the control tower is, I can still look around using the num but I dont hear any sound, I guess I mustn't have the sound loud enough or not close enough to the departing traffic. it could be sound proof gl[Mod - Happy Thoughts]

i was thinking about getting that, I am not a ATC but sometimes I like to see the action on the field. can I connect to the network while in the tower view?

yep you can load up VRC and log on as an OBS (observer), works quite well. I've only used Tower view as an observer, haven;t quite tested controlling in the tower view yet.
