Stupid AI

So here I was on finals in the C172 to SFO's 28R. I was all set to have one of my better landings ever, not the best because I was high on the approach. Here is my view from the panel when I hear a strange sound:

ATC just cleared me as #1 to land, then told Landmark heavy and an MD-80 to follow me on the approach.
Whats that sound?

AHHHHHHGGGGGG!
If the wake from that 744 was real, I'd be swimming the the water below right now!

Remember that I am high on the approach, so this guy, supposedly "inbound on the ILS" is really high!

OH no, another one? :o This guy is actually on glide path, but not cleared to land! :D

The 744 dives to the runway, touches down with only about half of the runway left, the MD-80 is about 20 ft off the ground when he and I get the go-around call. Remember that I was the only one cleared to land, and they were supposed to follow me. Guess thats kinda hard, trailing a guy going 80 kph when you're at 140!

I execute a small racetrack pattern, and now am cleared to land again, and again high!

Phew!

Finally, parked on the ground!
The flight was KSJC-KSFO, supposed to be an easy 15 min flight, but with this ATC mis-adventure, it turned into a little longer.
Thanks for looking, go ahead and post your thoughts.

One question: What program do you use for image editing?
Thanks!

That looks like a perfect racetrack pattern, very clean! And this post is a nice reminder that you can create great shots with default planes and scenery. It's all about flying ...

Bye,

If theres only one thing that FS chages I hope that its spcaing for ATC. Im sick of 10 jets landing on top of each other. I wish MS would have though about that. They tkake for ever on the runway makes me so mad. Im thinking of getting radar contact but I got to get my next pay check first. Then I can get it. But if anyone from MS reads this WE REALLY REALLY NEED SPACING IN FS For the next version.

Hey guys, thanks for the comments. Yeah, that AI had better be fixed for FS2004, its not at all "As real as it gets."
Yes, for this series of posts I used straight default plane, AI and scenery, once again showing how good the program really is.

That's happened to me quite a few times as well. It seems that the AI does not care about the "little planes" and just comes in anyway. I notice it never happens when flying in a heavy.

Microsoft bigshots don't care a rats ##### about any of us small guys. They just want to put out the product and make a fast buck. The could have patched it but didn't. They spent their time patching the crapy CFS3. Also, Microsoft's SQL server security hole caused problems when a global virus caused havoc. They should be held liable for flaws like that. I think the next FS2004 will be a beta like FS2000, and people will return it. FS2002 is the best they put out so far, and i'm sticking with it.

Sometimes, If I'm in a jet and a jet is trying to overtake me, I speed up really fast and then I just slow down alot short of the runway. It works, although not in a prop

Seems MS don't have the wake turbulence thing down either
Let's just say theres room for improvement in FS04

EDIT- I forgot to say Nice Pics :-roll
