Tower! Simulator 3: KPHL Airport

The Tower! Simulator 3 - KPHL Airport DLC was developed and published by FeelThere, with a release date of 10 April 2025. It was made available as an expansion for the PC version of Tower! Simulator 3 and continues the studio’s pattern of offering real‑world airports as optional DLC content.

In this expansion, players gain control over Philadelphia International Airport (ICAO: KPHL), a significant American airport covering 2,370 acres and featuring four separate runways. The in‑game model includes over 100 custom buildings, a detailed ground‑polygon layout with taxiway bridges, realistic taxi signage and lighting (including taxi‑light curves and runway‑approach lighting with sequenced flashers), and a background cityscape derived from map data to enhance immersion. The airport includes multiple terminals and a complex network of taxiways, making for a busy, realistic air‑traffic control environment that reflects real‑world operations.

In promotion, the DLC was presented as a robust, high‑fidelity simulation of a major U.S. airport, emphasising the extensive custom modelling, realistic ground operations, and the busy, multi‑runway runway and terminal layout of Philadelphia International Airport. The marketing targeted players who enjoy realistic ATC challenges with a mixture of domestic and international traffic, leveraging the airport’s status and operational complexity to offer an immersive and demanding control experience.

At launch, the KPHL Airport DLC had a very small number of user reviews recorded — only one review at the time, which means there was no meaningful aggregate score or community consensus yet. As a result, reception remains uncertain. Despite limited feedback, for players interested in managing a realistic, busy mid‑to‑large U.S. airport with detailed ground operations and complex traffic flows, KPHL represents a solid and potentially rewarding addition to the Tower! Simulator 3 airport lineup.
