dwf2008 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I recently flew a 777 from Phoenix to LAX. While taxiing to the gate at LAX, control had me stop to wait for a ground vehicle. After continuing, a different ground vehicle came along and crashed into the plane broadside thus causing a failure and ending the flight. Both airports are using the default original scenery. So this produces a couple of questions. 1. Isn't the airplane supposed to have the right-of-way? Why does ATC frequently have a plane wait for cars and pickups? 2. Is there a file that can be tweaked to prevent a ground vehicle from crashing into the plane? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSkorna Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 1. FSX is not a ground control simulator. No, traffic will not stop, hold, wait, or move out of the way for a plane. 2. No, the best you can do is turn off the ground traffic. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cianpars Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Yep, I turned off crash detection long ago for this reason, that some sceneries had invisible objects and that sometimes when on final, a heavy jet occasionally comes up behind you at 160 kts and mows you down.

il88pp Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 No need. Set up a shortcut key for 'right seat' view. Keep taxispeed below 20kt. Not a single crash since. il88pp. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
