    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Full ATC control on airfield addons that don't have them

I'm a huge fan of @DaleRFU 's incredible RAF airfields. Coltishall and especially Cottesmore.

On my sim at least, these don't have Tower / ATC options, however, only "uncontrolled" announcements on the ATC prompt.

Is there a way to add tower ATC so you can request - and receive clearance for departures, takeoffs, etc.

Thanks so much in advance.

PS - if you've not tried Cottesmore, it's to die for!

As far as I know, that's up to the developer. I know that back in the FS9 days, AFCAD allowed you to add/modify ATC functions.
 
It can be done with ADE2020, but you'll probably end up having to adjust a few other things like taxiways and parking spots too - it's quite a can of worms tbh!
Plus Scruffyduck has retired from developing now, so ADE2020 is no longer supported.

Hi - thanks for your work - and your reply.

Any reason I'd have to change the taxiways and parking? I'm just looking to add ATC.

thx,

I have the same problem here.
There is no way to add a tower frequency to an existing airport, it is intrinsic and you have to create a new airport (hence deaktivate the old one with all the consequences) if you want to have that.
I think it has been asked over at FSDeveloper with the same outcome, but you might want to check there.

Cheers,
Mark

With ADE, you'd superimpose a duplicate default airfield over the mod scenery, minus the buildings. You'd have your new ATC radio comms channels BUT a duplicate of the default runways, taxiways and all their signs and markings, will show up over your mod scenery including the invisible AI tracks and parking spots. It can be a lot of work to remove all the unwanted items and edit the parking spots etc to match the mod scenery.
