Purchase

• Buy REAL TRAFFIC
  https://www.feelthere.com/shop/air-traffic-control/tower3d/real-traffic-for-tower3d/

REAL TRAFFIC replaces the fantasy airlines with real airlines, but only white airplanes without any painting are shown. REAL COLOR packs (sold separately) are needed for the paintings (liveries).
It is possible that Real Traffic is available for purchase on other websites than the one mentioned here.


Download

• After purchase completion you will receive an email with a download link and your serial number (product registration key)
  
• Keep the email or the information it contains well stored
  
• In case of problems with the download of REAL TRAFFIC (e.g. after repeated downloads or a long time without a download) please contact [e-mail] with your detailed purchase information (especially e-mail address at purchase and product name and ID)
  Note: The developer switched vendors in late 2020 and handled new sales through FastSpring. In case of download problems, missing links, not received emails, etc. it is recommended to contact the developer directly:

  Update: From June 2021 sales will be handled through BMT Micro again. For purchases after this date, the email address mentioned above can be used again in case of problems.

At the latest with the release of a new airport DLC, REAL TRAFFIC will be updated and a new version will be available for download. Use the original link and/or authentication data and information from your purchase confirmation email to download the new version. Note that changes to schedule, airline, and airport files will be overwritten when a new version is installed.

Installation

• Execute the downloaded installer with a double click (RT_Tower3D_PRO_sp6v[consecutive number].exe)
  
• You may be asked to run the file as administrator
  
• Confirm that the installer can make changes to your system
  
• If you receive a SmartScreen Filter warning ("Windows proteted your PC"), click "More info" (text link), check the box next to "I understand the risk and want to run this app" and then click "Run anyway" (button)
  
• Click through the installation process
  
• When selecting the version, choose the Tower!3D version you have installed, e.g. "Tower3D Steam" or "Tower3D PRO Steam"
  
• Accept the license agreement
  
• Enter your or any name (Company is optional) and your registration key received in the purchase confirmation email
  
• Select the directory where Steam has installed Tower!3D (Pro)
  
• By default the path (for Tower!3D Pro) is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Tower 3D Pro
  
• If you have not installed Steam in the default directory, select the correct path to the Tower 3D (Pro) folder within the Steam installation folder (..\Steam\steamapps\common\Tower 3D or ..\Steam\steamapps\common\Tower 3D Pro)
  
• Complete the installation

Often Steam is not installed in the default directory and therefore the proposed default path in the installer may not be correct when installing the Real Traffic AddOn.

If you are unsure or have difficulty finding the correct installation paths and are using a current version of Windows, you can try using T3Dpathfinder to find the correct installation paths.
You can download T3Dpathfinder here:
