August 26, 201510 yr Administrators Static and non-moving? Looks like an airport tractor from SimObjects/Ground Vehicles.

Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
August 27, 201510 yr Author Static and non-moving? Looks like an airport tractor from SimObjects/Ground Vehicles. Yes static as far as I could tell. I do not know about sim objects ... is this a default FSX object that you have seen in FSX? If so, was it moving? Best Regards, Vaughan Martell PP-ASEL KDTW
August 27, 201510 yr Administrators At certain airports, while I am taxiing, I will get a "hold position, watch for traffic" from ATC. and one of these tractors will be on the taxiway stopped for a bit. Sometimes the only way to make them move is to start coming at them and then they take off like a bat outta heck!

I found the SimObject .. it is called a yellow fork lift in FSX. Just never seen it prior. Best Regards, Vaughan Martell PP-ASEL KDTW
August 27, 201510 yr If the author of the afcad does not provide enough ways for airport traffic to move, it will use the taxi way to get to their destination. In your case it was waiting for you to pass but since both of you were head on it was a dead lock... Menno Menno i7-11700, 16GB, 1 TB SSD, 2 TB HDD, RTX 3070, Windows 11, MSFS 2020 DeLuxe, P3D 4.5
