April 27, 200818 yr Hi folks,I just bought RC4 and did 3 flights with it. All of them departing from big airports, traffic set to 100%.Here's the issue: The tower asks me position and hold, and there's an AI traffic on final (ok). The tower clears me to take off (and I acknowledge it, ok). As soon as I start to roll (I'm still on the runway, just starting rolling), tower clears the traffic coming to land. Shouldn't the tower wait me to take off first?? What if I need to abort??Has this happened to anyone before? Again, the issue is the tower clearing AI traffic to land while I just began to take off, but I'm still on the runway.Thanks,RodrigoX9650 @3.4GHz, 4GB DDR3, Geforce 8800GTS (nTune + nHancer), 500 GB SATA, 2x 19" LG, FSX SP1, LDS767, UTX, GEX, FsGenesis v2, FEX, ASX, FSBuild, RC4, WOAI & AISmooth, WinXP SP2.
April 27, 200818 yr In the options make sure Interact with AI is enabled.RC should not be telling you to position and hold when AI aircraft are fairly close on final in fact some users complain that RC is too conservative about this.FS manages the arriving AI and although RC voices it, FS gives the go-around command to AI.A freeware utility called AI Smooth for FS9 and FSX can be downloaded from:http://www.sg-flightware.de/This can be used to spread out arriving AI and if you enable Respond To User Aircraft in its File/Settings dialog it should help protect your aircraft.When you contact tower on your way to the threshold be sure you are ready to take-off. You must be ready to roll when told to enter the runway.If this problem continues then send a log to jd following the instructions pinned at the head of this forum. Be aware that the jdtllc.com site is temporarily down and should be up early this week.
April 27, 200818 yr Thanks, Ron.Interact with AI is already enabled. It's interacting fine, the AI traffic wasn't too close, they usually are 8nm or 10nm to final.I have AI Smooth already (v1.2).I'll send John a log, because this happened too frequently to me.Thanks,Rodrigo
April 29, 200818 yr Surely this is exactly how it is supposed to happen (and how it really does in busy real life situations): As long as the approaching aircraft is not going to land before the departing plane has completed takeoff (and minimum separation remains if the approaching a/c has to go-around) then it is a perfectly acceptable situation! I am reading this forum just now because I'm thinking of getting RC in the next few days - this post has actually had a positive effect on my buying decision ;)Geoff
