October 1, 20223 yr I thought there was to be 2,000 of separation in the upper flight levels. This was more like 1,000 ft of separation. I had to act fast to get this screen shot. I was at FL360 with a GS of 400 knots in the Hjet. Did not quite see what the other type was, but man was that a super fast closing speed. First time I have had this close of an encounter. His path seemed the exact opposite of mine and it was not on a published airway. I was going direct from SPI to IRK. I am not sure if the current WT G3000 provides audible TCAS alerts.

This was more like 1,000 ft of separation. 1,000 foot separation for opposite-direction traffic is standard in RVSM airspace up through FL410.

October 1, 20223 yr RVSM (1000 foot vertical sep) has been the norm for about 20 years now. i7-13700KF, 32gb DDR4 3200, RTX 4080, Win 11, MSFS 2024
October 1, 20223 yr I'll tell ya it's interesting watching a jet approach with 1000ft separation. Looks like you are nose to nose. It is cool that as it happen, I've seen the RAD ALT momentarily pop to 1000 lol. Rick D http://g5flyer.tumblr.com/
October 7, 20223 yr And Frank, if the sim ATC was worth it's salt they would be required to issue traffic to each of you. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
