AI Plane and ground traffic collision

Featured Replies

I recently completed the Caribbean Landing mission. I turned off onto a taxi way and went to spot view to watch the 747 take off (it was pointed the wrong way while holding short during my approach, but somehow turned itself around.) After the 747 passed me, there was what looked like a small truck on the runway centerline traveling in the opposite direction! The 747 "ran over" the truck with the front wheels, but there was no collision. The plane took off and the truck continued to a taxi way and turned off of the runway.Has anyone else seen this?

Sounds pretty unique, I haven't seen it myself. Maybe the truck was doing a routine runway inspection. ;)

Not seen that, but the 747 does fly straight through the mountains more times than not on my system.It takes off OK, but then levels out and flies straight on and through the top of the mountain.I have all terrain and mesh sliders at maxI have seen it facing the wrong way as well :)MarkDell XPS Gen3 (3.6GHz/800FSB) | 2GB DDR SDRAM | 360GB SATA RAID 0 | 256MB ATI Radeon X850 PE (Catalyst 6.5) | Audigy 2 ZS Sound | Saitek X52 | WindowsXP Pro (SP2) | DirectX 9.0c

Hi,I have seen the truck on the runway - it's part of its path. Since it doesn't appear that they are held while the runway is occupied (so keep your ground vehicles off the runway when we are able to program them), collisions are bound to occur...Take care,--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___
