Starting ATC3 with command line

pseudopod52

No chinese text input so have to post in english, sorry.

+ o+ k( n; Q6 Q" A' iOne can start ATC3 using command line. I'll use VHHH (Kai Tak ) for example.
5 \; ^" O' m4 J& T) f2 Y0 zLet's say you designed a stage called stagexxx.a3s. Open command line (cmd.exe), go to the ATC3 VHHH directory and type:

1 J8 e8 N, o) w5 aatc3vhhhx.exe /a=vhhhx /s=stagexxx         where 'a'  is variable for airport, and 's' for stage name.

If you use Japanese version of the game, you need to find a command line version of applocale called SBApplocale (easily found on the web), then the command is:

3 H+ y6 N# A- q( N: BSBApplocale 1041 atc3vhhhx.exe /a=vhhhx /s=stagexxx        where 1041 is code for Japanese.

0 j# B" H4 ?3 b5 T: t9 a" LWhy do this? Well, you don't need a A3C file to run the stage.

You're welcome, xdman.

I use this method to run stages generated by the Flight Plan Generator program. That program is buggy but can produce playable scenarios in an instant. Too bad the file format is slightly different so the excellent ATC3 Scenario Editor cannot read it. The A3S editors here can but renders  a file with display errors when you play it.

Maybe the experts here can revise it?

Impressive, we can now bypass the stage of A3C (and perhaps even better than the company itself {:soso_e113:})

If not have A3C, well,this games it don't can to be in motion

pseudopod52

If I understand you correctly, the A3C is juat the menu file that describes the scenario. You don't need it to run the game.

pseudopod52

I can read chinese, feel free to reply in chinese. I post in english because I don't have chinese text input on my PC.

The A3C is input on sequence and no input on scenario

pseudopod52

While it is preferable to have an A3C it is not necessary to run a scenario. In fact one can launch directly into ATC3 without using the command line from Flight Plan Generator. Now this works only with the english language patched versions of ATC3. With Japanese versions, you need SBApplocale and command line.
Don't know about chinese language patched versions. Give it a try.

WHY??

pseudopod52

I don't know why. Try to click the link I posted at post #7. I just tried and it worked fine.

pseudopod52

I have used the flight generator program to generate some scenarios for VHHH and RJOO, how do I upload these? Rayfile is slower than a slug. Megaupload? Rapidshare?

pseudopod52

Just testing. Uploaded a small scenario for RJOO to RapidShare:

Haha,almost everyone here can speak English! All in all,thanks!

What, use CMD to open the files? But need to start with atc3.exe, right?

Em,with this tips,it means that we can run the stages which is not showed in atc3's menu,right?
