Tower! Simulator 3

Love this game, I can't get enough. With the new AI speech, it brings a lot of variety in pilot voices. Heading back to play more.

HOLA

I rarely write Steam reviews, but in this case I really wanted to leave a positive recommendation, mainly because I honestly do not understand the criticism that the voice recognition does not work. I am German and I speak English with a pretty noticeable German accent, but I have had almost no problems with the voice input. For me, it works very well and adds a huge amount of immersion. My Windows installation is set completely to English, so I do not know whether that is necessary. If it is, I can understand why people would not want to change their whole Windows language just for one game. But again: I do not know if that is actually required. What I can say is that the voice recognition itself works wonderfully for me. The game is a lot of fun, especially if you enjoy the idea of actually speaking like an air traffic controller. The variety of voice commands is probably one of the best I have ever seen in a game. It really lets you control aircraft by voice in a way that feels much more realistic and immersive than just clicking buttons. That being said, there are still some gaps. Some commands feel a bit unrealistic, and the command structure is not always completely in line with real-world aviation phraseology. So while the system is impressive, it is not perfect. My biggest criticism is the pricing and the add-ons. I understand that this is probably a niche product and that development costs have to be covered somehow. But the extra content can become very expensive. In particular, the add-on that adds real airline liveries and real airline names feels almost mandatory for immersion. Without it, the game loses a lot of atmosphere. I do not know whether this is due to licensing reasons, but it is still a big immersion breaker if you do not have it. Additional airports are also quite expensive if you want to expand the game. On the other hand, I bought Munich as an additional airport and I have to say: it is really, really well made. The level of detail is impressive. You can even taxi aircraft on the blue and orange lines and route larger aircraft through the middle, which is a great detail and adds a lot to the experience. Overall, I enjoy spending many hours in this game. It is immersive, unique and very fun, especially with voice control. The main downside is the high cost if you want the full experience with the necessary add-ons. So my recommendation is positive. The voice recognition works wonderfully for me, even as a non-native English speaker with a strong German accent. In my opinion, saying that the voice recognition simply does not work is not accurate.

I've had this game way before the new changes and new branding when it was Tower 3D pro but all the new changes since than has been way above board great choice in ATC I have 96.4 hours on the game and 30 hours this week alone starting to get back into it all over again

Lo compré con miedo a las malas críticas que había leído y nada más lejos de la realidad. Sin ser un gran aficionado a la aviación y sin haber probado otros juegos de simulación ATC, Tower Simulator 3 me ha atrapado. La fina línea entre estrés y satisfacción al resolver los problemas del tráfico son espectaculares. El precio es alto, como en los buenos juegos de simulación y más cuando intentan abarcar muchos aeropuertos, pero como en todos estos juegos, comprarlo todo es absurdo, no tienes tiempo material para jugarlo, hay que analizar y usar la cabeza.

First of all: with the new AI recog the sim is very good. The AI is not the best but its better thaan the generic recognition system of the game. One of my favorite Airports is EDDH (for those not into the ICAO language -> its Hamburg) Hamurg is a "small" and good managible airport which can be operated alone. There are some things that bother me quit a bit. First at this Airport are three Taxiways called Z1Blueline, Z1 and Z1Orange and as many people know in real life those were used to seperate medium sized aircrafts. This function is not applicable for that airport in this ATC Sim. For example when you have an Aircraft comming to the Terminal (Arrival) and you have another one as Departure the best option is to seperate them as follows: one is pushing onto orange line and the other is taxiing on the blueline. That is not possible because the game things that those two Aircrafts won't fit but in reallife this is common use. Furthermore to let Traffic taxi onto the blueline you need to say "Taxi via Z1 Bravo" which is phraseology wise not correct! It needs to be "Taxi via Z1 Blueline". Also and that mechanic would be perfect... Is there an option to push aircrafts on specific taxiways and directions. In reality in Hamburg the standard push is onto Z1 (Departure from Terminal) but all aircraft except the big ones automatically push onto Z1Orange which is okay but normally ATC need to tell the pilots specific intructions for that. Is it possible to wish for a nicer UI for the maps?? ;) Oh and on thing for EDDH... Arrivals always tend to taxi onto Z1Orange eventhough I specifically said "Taxi to Teminal via Z3 Z1Bravo" i.e. they swing onto Z1Orange right before getting into the parking position. On last thing: Cleared for takeOff means cleared for take off, not stopping onto the runway and lining up and than takeoff. Please fix those things and this sim will get even better than it is now!!! Maybe some of you (developers) have purchased the MSFS2024 and have access to the flight planner website. LIDO Charts are perfect for designing the map UI?;)

New headset with a better mic was worth it. This is super fun.

Don't get me wrong I've always like aviation simulators and I would for sure recommend this to other interested players in the genre BUT the game requires paid DLC for you to change airport lighting and weather and real airlines. Make sure to talk clearly and with volume when communicating to aircraft. :3

Jogo bom, muito bom dar comandos por voz, mas tem que caprichar no inglês.

Mit mehreren Mikros probiert, sehr oft wird das Callsign nicht erkannt... So macht das gar keinen Spaß.
