Just after Takeoff, with Heathrow in the rear.

Not a bad shot actually, London down below, and the moon in the background

Another shot of Heathrow. This is where you can tell how slow, AI aircraft taxi. In Pic #2 you see a Landmark (I think) A/C taxing to 9L, in this picture, you can barely make out the same A/C....maybe 150-200 yards down the taxiway.....SLOW!!!

26,000 ft over the English countryside

This is where things got interesting, I am following a very slow moving A/C shortly before final. (I'm still following ATC instructions), and I am slowly getting closer to him waiting for ATC to give me or him a new heading. By the way, I'm trying to slow down as much as possible, at this point I was at 190 kts, and flaps were down.

At this point, I said screw it, and let what was going to happen, happen. ATC has never crashed me before, and I would like to see what was going to happen. Here I was around 175 kts, (Still no word from ATC), 2 seconds later, I'm back at Heathrow...#####, oh well. I am a huge..... I mean HUGE fan of FS2002, but MS does need to make a few tweaks here and there with ATC, and their weather, but besides that, I'm in awe every time I play it. By the way, has anybody else has this problem?

Um all i have to say is.....what an idiot lol! I mean cmon do u want the ATC TO ALSO FLY U OFF THE COLLISION COURSE! lol geeze use ur head if u were in a real plane and u saw an airplane in front of u closing in would u just say screw it and crash......um no i dont think so!! The atc mearly gives u the warning u have to deal with it just move to the side pass it and get back on heading.....forget the ATC in that moment.
