I don’t think any of our current expert controllers would prefer to have a limited line of sight, so I don’t know why this is only for the expert server? Second, the unneeded lag this would create is enough to say this would be a pretty horrible idea to implement anytime soon. Third, I’d really dislike this and never use it personally.

I don’t see how this would make sense on its own without 3D buildings. Feature to ahead of it time. I agree with @Trio

It would make it more realistic though, and how it has an irl line of sight
I understand, but I couldn’t add more viewing options because it was stated that you can only ask for one feature per thread and trust me, I have a lot of ideas for that.
Looks great, voted!

Later today I would edit it a bit more to fit what I was actually going to say, I was rushing the typing this morning as I had to attend school.
Maybe the view for controllers could be the same but to pilots you can see a tower? As in it would only be visible to pilots
Pilots can see the tower, yes, I forgot to add that, will do it later today.

As of 2015, there were 17, 678 commercial airports alone. This doesn’t include the countless GA airports that have a tower. This number is likely to have increased, so this still presents lag as a huge issue. Yes, seeing an ATC tower would be nice, but the costs outweigh the benefits.
Even if we got 3D towers for all of the airports in the game, I feel like ATC would turn into an AirForceProud95 video.

I agree with you, it would limit sight from the tower.
He is not asking for a physical tower building.
It is a request for a 3D TWR interior for controllers…similar to a virtual cockpit.

Oh I missed that follow-up, I really couldn’t tell from the OP
A nice fov feature would be nice or in the part where you see the list of aircrafts, click “Overview” and you will see an airplane, I want to add this but would this be asking for too many features??
What follow up?
It’s an allright idea. I think it would make the controllers view of the field realy hard. I dont think it would be a good idea personally.
Nice idea, voted (1 year later…)

With the recently announced changes to the feature request category, this feature no longer meets the following criteria:
- 3D airport/object requests are currently not allowed (including airports, ATC facilities, buildings and objects etc.)
Due to this, this feature request has been closed and all votes returned to their users so that they can be used to vote on other features they would like to see in-app. For more information on what is permitted, please visit the About the Features Category.
