Hey y'all ... I got Ultimate Traffic as a birthday gift last month (yay!) and it is absolutely fantastic.

However, at crowded airports, it can lead to some rather silly situations.

Here, this 757 is cleared to intercept the ILS glideslope at KMSP a few seconds before I am ...

I'm convinced that this is going to end up as a collision ...

[Ok for some reason, when I preview, I'm not getting the shot to show up ... no idea why! I have the filename right ... and am using the IMG tag .... hmmm. What am I doing wrong?]

[I'll skip the other shots and get to my vent]

So -- after finally approaching the runway, I'm asked to go around, because Mr. I'm-in-a-hurry has barely touched down ahead of me. I go missed approach, am routed some 65 miles NE of MSP, over Wisconsin, heading to Canada it seems ... when I loose patience, cancel IFR and file a new one back to MSP. Again, I'm about to land, when a United 737 comes in AHEAD of me and causes me to go around AGAIN! At this point, I just cancel IFR, turn my A319 around, ignore ATC and land. Enough already!

So -- I guess there's no way to introduce holding patterns and ATC regulated approach speeds in to FS?

I absolutley love the realism and atmosphere that UT provides ... but these situations, and the number of missed approaches, get rather annoying. I hate to think that the only way is to lower the traffic slider down from 100% .... Sad

You had an extra space between the .jpg and the IMG closing tag. Happens to me sometimes aswell.

AARGH!! Thanks!

Well here's the rest of the shots ....

Hmm ... he's a little lower, and a tad farther behind me ...

.... phew ...

... but the passengers are going to be rather upset!

[If anyone has any thoughts on how to improve the ATC experience with fs, that'd be great!]

If that was San Fransico that would be normal...j/k..but I think you are just another one to see how great FS ATC is ...The only thing I can tell you is to join a VATSIM group and fly online???...but not sure if your UT would show up

Here is what I mean about San Fransico...

AI traffic is disabled in multiplayer mode Junior

But you're correct, SFO is pretty cool, some nice shots you attached there!

Whoa! Scary looking pics .... !

... but at least they're on parallel runways, and not on top of each other for the same one!

** sigh ** I figured there was nothing to be done, short of joining something like VATSIM (and I'm afraid if I do online gaming, I won't go to work .... ! 8) )

Maybe the folks at Microsoft, who listen in to everything as it is

, might do something about this for the next version of fs?

(Or is Xplane better at this? Heck I know the guy who makes Xplane -- I should just ask him! Hmm, I hope it isn't heretical expression this opinion on here!

Hey Beef -- I don't know. I have no experience of X-plane. If it doesn't have AI then there's no point of course ...

I'll survive fs ATC ...

No no ai in X-Plane. More of a "Build it yourself" sim than a realistic "Flight" Sim
