Taxiway
for Windows

WinTWY is a fully Win32-native version of Taxiway. Looks and works like the original TWY. Requires PS1, Broker and 747IPC (VMREAD enabled). Visualisation of network air traffic requires SB747 and a valid user ID on VATSIM / IVAO / etc.
Press F12 to zoom in, Alt-F12 to zoom out, Ctrl-F12 to toggle Origin / Destination codes. The 'zoom factor' in the top-right corner has been calibrated to match original TWY. A 'Ground Speed' readout has been added to aid taxiing.

You can run WTWY from any computer on the local network as long as you specify the IP address of Broker in WTWY.INI. WTWY only communicates with Broker; it does not make any direct connections with PS1 or 747IPC.

Edit the file WTWY.INI and change 'brokerip' to the IP address of the computer running Broker.
Next, you'll need to add a couple of entries to VMREAD.CFG:

2FDD 4 A_CHAR 100 IPC.Orig
2FE7 4 A_CHAR 100 IPC.Dest

You'll also need the SCENERY.TWY file (not included in this download). Get it from Jeroen's TWY site. Place all files in the same folder.
You can place the SDL.dll and SDL_ttf.dll files in the WTWY folder, or they can be placed in the %WINDOWS%\SYSTEM32 folder to be shared with other PS1 add-ons (eg WinPS1, Engine).

Finally, make sure you have the font "Lucida Console" in your Windows\Fonts folder.

Latest version of WTWY: Version 1.1b: 31 October 2004. Compatible with all versions of Microsoft Windows (tm).
