Well i am very ashamed to say it i had my first crash on IVAO (as in the plane hitting the ground:$)
I had one missed approach due to some ILS problems then on my go around and return the controller may have brought me a bit close to Gergely so i was instructed to reduce speed they so i did reduced 170kts then on finals more ILS problemsand the glide slope pushed me lower 200ft with 3 miles to go gergely had just landed so it was gunna be tight but eventually mainly due to my lack of attention my airspeed got critical and i went into a full stall and then well u can guess the rest lol :{

Sounds weird...I thought the controllers should maintain a gap between the planes at least 5 nm.
I remember my first online flights, when I usually did terrible landings, but I forgot to decrease thrust, so came in too fast. ;D No problem, your landings will be better and better by the time.

They should maintain enough spacing but also controllers make mistakes...
The one yesterday was not bad except I think we were all at 1700ft while most had stil 15 or 20 nm to go.

yea they shud keep spacing but me and gergely were very close too close, my landing are usually fine i dnt know what happened yesturday.
I was like that aswell at 1700ft for like 20 miles to track kinda weird....

It may also be down partly to charts/(dare I say) pilot error. There are speed limits on STAR charts for busier airports and failing to stick to these could make a controllers job tricky:)
I know I tend to come in a bit gung ho even when I do have charts on board - all part of the learning experience for pilot and controller alike.
