Board index » FlyTampa » Tampa-Rebooted - KTPA

[rsperge]

First of all just would like to say this a a tremendous and beautiful addon, just absolutely stunning my question is the following. when I open up fsx and it says select airport I have both of them listed KTPA and ZTPA, when I enter either one the fly tampa appears, in my sceerney settings I have fly tampa as number one in fsx. First of all is this normal and what should I do. Suggestions please.

ZTPA is part of the scenery needed to make the Taxiway bridge work. As long as it isn't causing your problems ignore it.

PS: how exactly are you selecting the airport in the location dialog? I don't get to see the ZTPA entry here when I type in airport name tampa, or Icao ktpa, or city tampa.

I see both of them listed and just select KTPA and the bridge is there, any place to post some shots?

I know this thread goes back a year+ BUT, I'm new and kinda had the same question.

This is what I think the OP was tlaking about:

fsx tAMPA.JPG (94.51 KiB) Viewed 453 times

I noticed when you select FreeFlight/ZTPA you start at Parking and the runways are 36 and 18, but if you select Freeflight/KTPA you start on a runway, (sometimes the wrong one if you request departure straight out from ATC) and the runways are 1 and 19.

Is this ZTPA still needed? and when you talk about the bridge is that the tunnel that goes under the jetway when you drive to TIA? and if so does it go from HiRes 3D'ish to flat FSX default if the ZTPA is somehow removed?

Sorry for all the questions but this is my newest hobby (before I actually learn to fly ) and I am just curious how this works, I have my FSX tweaked out and am really trying to acheve a large realism effect.

thanks, and if I get too annoying just tell me...lol
