Hello everyone. I am currently working on my next air traffic control simulator, that will be a 3d tower simulation. I am using AC3D to create the airport and other needed models. here are a few screen shots of the game. I am using Dark Basic Professional as my engine, and these shots are showing the use of the DarkClouds addon. This realtime cloud system uses the timeclock to also simulate sunrises, sunsets. So, when it's dark, the runway/taxiway lighting system needs to be active. I am using self-illuminating spheres to simulate the runway lighting as to not react to changes in the ambient light settings. here are 3 shots,morning,midday and evening. As you can see, it is a WIP, and there are many building models left to add. So, it's got a way to go yet.
Official product announcement will be found at
