Okay, once I can understand, but twice in a row? Here's the scenario:
I'm on approach to LAS, I've turned final and am sliding gracefully down the glideslope, been cleared to land, and an MD-80 just pulls out onto the runway in front of me for takeoff!!! Of course, the tower gives me the "go around" message, but it irked me. Then, on final to SEA, this time following a 737 five miles in front of me. I'd been cleared to land #2 behind the 737, and once he touches down, he's told to switch to ground, and taxi. He doesn't. He just toodles down the runway, looking at all the fine scenery. I'm now 2 miles from touchdown, and tower tells the plane to take the next taxiway. He doesn't. Just as I cross the runway threshhold, I get the "go around" from the tower.
Wah!
I tell you what, that next go-around approach, I turned the AI aircraft down from 65% to 10%. That'll show 'em! :) Man, now if we could only do that in real life. :-lol
