im having this issue when taxing, where a plane behind me will be stop by the ATC like 100 ft behind me. i just re-installed FSX and i dont know what is causing this.

*Taxiing.

 

And you need to be more specific with your issue... what are they doing exactly?

 

Do you have a third party traffic addon?

Is it the "[callsign], hold short, caution the XX on the taxiway" shortly followed by "[callsign], continue taxiing." and so on all the time, though the other aircraft has quite a safe distance from your plaen? If so, that's normal behavior, I'm afraid. I understand it annoys you, but I actually couldn't care less, as long as a safe distance is kept. There are more annoying issues with ground control and it's instructions, for example the right of way for ground vehicles, although actually palnes should have that right.

I edited your topic for spelling. Not a big thing but some times it hurts the eyes....

 

Are you talking about default aircraft and default ATC? FSX really doesn't do a great job with taxiing to the runway but I know of no other product that can do it better.

Ha ha ha, turn down the traffic in the FSX settings and the other planes go away :-)

Problem solved lol

The atc makes the plane behind my plane to hold position and make sure that we are like 300 feet apart

i have ultimate traffic 2 , i contacted them and they said its fsx issue

I'm afraid it is, but there are really things that annoy me more about ground movement and ground control than that. And besides, I don't look at my plane too often from outside while taxiing, so I don't really mind how much distance they keep from me. And it sure is better than if ATC let other aircraft taxi "through" mine!

Not sure if this will help the problem you have, but I downloaded a little gauge and added it to most of my panels, and it has greatly improved my issues with other planes while on the ground. It is GCAS100.zip. This is a blue button which can be toggled. When on, the other planes wait wherever they are until you are past then they proceed with whatever shenanigans they are up to. When toggled off, the normal FSX routing takes over, which usually makes these planes get in my way or hit me, ignoring me like I wasn't even there.

Thanks for the tip on the GCAS100.zip, I'll have to give that a try.

It's the little things that make FSX work well IMHO. I also use "AISmooth" when flying busy airports to handle the dummies in the air. Then they will stay out of your flight path most of the time and no more planes overtaking you on final. That drives me nuts. Gone are the days when I had to bump the sim rate to 8x and back down to 1x to get rid of the AI. Dangerous to do that when on final but it worked.

Nertz! GCAS100 requires the registered version of FSUIPC, I have the free, non-registered version.

I had no idea that it was required but it is, in fact, stated in the readme.txt. I'm sorry for that. I have a registered version and have for years, but did not realize this gauge was using it. Shoot, I'll be more careful next time and read and re-read the readme. Twung tister that.
