Title: Landing at Hong Kong VHHH
Post by: EHM-1612 Paolo on April 09, 2007, 12:59:53 pm

Hi pilots! Today I tried some crosswind landings around Hong Kong, taking off from the old airport and landing at the new one (VHHH). I set the weather with 37knots wind from 220, 1/2 mile of visibility and heavy rains  (just to have more fun ;) )...but then FS AI ruined everything :]

And then...

I decided not to go around just because I didn't want to repeat once more the landing procedure (especially with that weather), and I landed far from that A340, trying to leave the rwy asap. I think the A340 was very angry at me...;D
It tried to take off while I was taxiing out of the rwy! I used full throttle but that didn't help (the A340 was rotating)...

And then...BOOM

AI aircrafts are so stupid! :]
Hope you like these photos,
Ciao!

Paolo,

Great pictures but a nasty outcome ;)

Have you tried using AISmooth? It's a freeware utility by Michael Sagner that helps cut down on traffic conflicts, worth downloading (from avsim) to help your flights stay safe ;D

Not sure if it affects aircraft taking off but I know it's good for others on approach at the same time as you...

Hi Paolo, Nice shots and bad story. I use AI Smooth as indicated by Dom, and I use as well RC v4. It manages AI traffic as well

Cheers

Hmm  yes at times AI can be quite bad, I was doing a take off in VABB Mumbai airport when the in-built ATC instructed me to go to the end of runway 14 for take off. To my surprise another idiot plane is also cleared and he keeps following me. This runway is like a dead end, no taxiways around, and when I turn around to start my speed up to take off, I find this guy staring at me ... another 737.


I call for push-back for fun, and it seems he was having fun too, the more I pushed back, the more he came into me. And then finally I got fed up and I went out of the runway, and he turned and took off. AI can be mad at time I agree.
