nariman Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I am on final for 20R at John Wayne in Orange County in a Saab 340B. There is a Cessna C208B Grand Caravan right in front of me also heading for 20R. He is much slower than me and I have been cleared for landing by the tower. How do I avoid hitting him? Can any one help, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Do a 360, or abort the approach and try again. Your choice. YOU'RE responsible for the plane. The safety of, the actions of, everything. If you're in a dangerous situation, it's up to YOU to figure out a way to solve the problem. Not the ATCs. All they can do from the ground is suggest possibilities. It's on YOUR shoulders. Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. In that order. That should be every pilots mantra. Of course, there's one more imperative: Have fun :D Pat☺ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Had a thought...then there was the smell of something burning, and sparks, and then a big fire, and then the lights went out! I guess I better not do that again! Sgt, USMC, 10 years proud service, Inactive reserve now :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Have you got 'TrafficToolBox' installed, if you have go in it and find the aircraft in front of you and delete it, problem solved, you haven't deleted the aircraft from you PC just from that flight. Or there is a couple of other programs that sort the arrival/landing aircraft out and split you up. AI Smooth and AI Seperation programs also do it for you.

il88pp Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Pass them safely. Do get low. You'll get a go-around. Do so, go around, and approach again. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 All good advice gentlemen, however my Flightsim is MY world where I am GOD - when there's any aircraft in my way on the ground or in the air, I go to Options/Settings/Display/Traffic and move the offender's slider to zero until I've got to where I want to be - and to hell with ATC!

mrzippy Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I'll go you one better, Tim. I'll flash my lights, honk my horn, and nudge him outta the way. If I have landing permission, the other guy can go around.;) Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that happen almost daily on the public highways in the US as well!:o Except generally the highway drivers on their horns and daring others are the ones in the wrong!

CRJ_simpilot Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 On of the bad things about FS2004 and FSX and I bet P3D or even X-Plane is lack of a more realistic ATC, thus you play that role as well as pilot. So I have two screens. One is the Sim and the other has LittleNavMap running. I can see all the other AI around me and slow up or speed up accordingly uif I see another plane headed my way on the same runway and going by what I hear on the approach and tower frequencies. Sometimes it's unavoidable so tower tells me to go around, but I ignore it. LOL OOM errors? Read this.

napamule2 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Myself I would just go to Menu 'Time and Season' and change the time by 5 minutes. Forward=AI disappears. Back=AI not in area yet.

Mithras Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 My view is, cope with it in a realistic fashion, otherwise, why else have AI at all, just so you don't feel lonely on the ramp? I don't mind queing for take off, or having to watch out for amother plane cleared to land, its what pilots do, and then my confortable approach has to be amended, but I'm ok with that! It would annoy me when flying an airliner, so In that case I open the Ultimate Traffic tab and click on 'Clear Approach'. - Paul Elliott [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Come and follow my recreation of this historic light here: HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
