For AFCAD 2 designer, a great tool to check the exact situation o gates, taxiways, runways, etc.  with the ground “rondo” really taking place. See detail of exact runway line from the 1st Floor or the general and panoramic view of your 3 overlays from the 5th Floor

Installation:
_____________

Just unzip “Mobile Control Tower 2004.zip” into your FS2004/Aircrafts Sub_Dir
Each of the 5 levels will show in your aircraft list in FS2004 in the category of "Mobile Control Tower” with each floor to select in the bottom window.

 Gauges (if necessary) into your FS2004/Gauges Sub_Dir

note: gauges used are standard MS FS2004 Standard Gauges and others from various authors. You certainly already have them all in your computer. Anyway check for dates and versions.

IMPORTANT: The “F16.gauge” does not work with an unregistered version of FSUIPC. Eric Marciano, the author, has recently published the Key which is necessary to introduce in the FSUIPC window. The key is:
F16.gau - key: DSVT JE5S 6DUO  
The inconvenience is, at least for me, that you must repeat the operation (????) of registering the key for each floor(!)  Of course, they are like 5 different planes(!)
.It is not very logical, but this is the only way I found to eliminate error messages from FSUIPC.
Even after all this, you still receive sometimes messages that your FS2004 is using some gauges not registered with FSUIPC. Just don’t worry about this message, the Radar woks perfectly! I hope this bug will disappear in future version of the otherwise fantastic FUIPC.

No support will be answered by email for what installation and Tower use are concerned. The included 3 languages Manuals and the information on the author’s Web Site (The Mobile control Tower) are considered to be self explanatory and clear enough for a normal installation and use of the Tower functions.

How to position your tower :
______________________________

If your are not an AFCAD 2 neither a FSNavigator user:
Just select in your favourite airport the gate of ramp which best suit your choice.
(Menu World/Select Airport and choose runway or location select gate/runway, etc)
 


If your are not an AFCAD 2 but a FSNavigator user:
In the FsNAvigator MAP panel, zoom in on the chosen airport until you see all the parking sports. Just select one with your right mouse and select option: 
Move aircraft to here
 
Do this on various spots until you get the real general view of your airport. This is very quick and easy with FsNavigator.

If your are both an AFCAD 2 and FSNavigator user:

Select with the utmost precision the “ideal” spot for your virtual tower by placing one or various “Ramp GA small” pointing in the desired and correct position. You do not need to connect them with “connecting zones” lines but if you are a perfectionist and make the “Faults Finder” test you will receive, of course, an error message. 
I, personally, choose parking sports around the “real” Control tower which is of course normally strategically situated. 

 By pointing 2 o 3 spots in the desired directions I get the desired effect and view/s. By saving the different options as “Flights” you can rapidly return to your favourite panorama.


On AFCAD 2 the simplest way to place your Tower is using the option: “Insert Tower View”:

 


DO NOT forget to refresh the FSNAVIGATOR DataBase to see later on the FsNAvigator MAP the new added spots ! 

 

If you go for a virtual view, you get a 360є panoramical view regardless of the “pointing” of your parking sport.
