2 times in a row on expert, reaaaally?

Twice in the last 2 sessions I attempted on expert, 2nd pic atc sat on that for at least 5 mins before booting the one that was rear ended :flushed_face: Whats the point in working to get xp and move up servers? I just cant continue in the session to be honest it ruins it for me. Why do these people keep getting away with it? How can we stay immersed with the lack of realism? Why don’t you just boot them immediately?

Thanks

Hey!

The first photo looks like it was under Unicom - not much can be done really if there is no ATC nor a staff member/moderator/IFATC supervisor at the airport. The second photo looks like there was ATC - sometimes we do miss things on the ground or things appear differently from our end depending on our visibility of aircraft.

It is unfortunate that there are people that behave this way on Expert Server - the best thing to do is ignore them and/or work around them. Often they do get caught eventually by ATC or a supervisor so yeah.

Hi Benny,

It was under unicom but during a controller change yesterday in LIRF, the ATC came back as he crossed through another player and was rolling - they let him go even after warning “wait for clearance before takeoff”.

I try and ignore it but this has honestly always been an issue on expert server.

Appreciate your quick reply though.
Thanks

Its quite sad to see the “Expert Server” being tarnished like this day in day out :sob:

Infinite flight should make people take a test on realism before they enter the expert server.

Ohhh I can already hear that dreaded 3 beeps in my head as I watch this

One word: :sparkles: L A U G H :sparkles:
Please, no need to get flustered by this. If you have a person sniffing your APU more than they should or a person measuring their fuselage to you engine, just say to yourself “Man, that jet fuel must smell like chocolate, doesn’t it?” or “You ain’t bigger than mine buddy :eyes:” (Don’t take out of context). See someone taxi through grass, “Do my lawn next” or “Never knew [insert aircraft] had an off road variant.” Controller blamed you, “Bleach (eyes) for real, time to appeal.” Controller lets them off, “Controller’s too innocent for the real world :smiling_face:.” If you feel upset, there are songs you could play to help you cope with your frustration. I have a personal one, but I’m not sure I should be posting it on here. It’s not too bad (maybe it is), but still. To sum up, turn your frustration into laughter. Let idiots will be idiots, let bygones be bygones, and just move forward and focus on you. Another useless tip from your uncertified pyschiatrist :victory_hand:.

Sniffing the APU

I was on approach into EDDF when a FedEx aircraft (can’t remember the exact callsign) came way too close to me close enough that it was starting to feel unsafe. I could hear ATC warning them with something like, “Please follow instructions or you will be reported.”

It kind of surprised me because you’d expect more disciplined flying on the Expert Server, but I guess these kinds of situations still happen sometimes. Just goes to show that even on Expert, you’ve got to stay sharp and be ready for anything.

I’m really shocked that they didn’t get reported that’s quite surprising

This topic doesn’t make sense. What are you going to do? This is not the way it works. Accept it or fly solo. Exposing like that will never make the problem go.

Remember, it’s all a fun game for flying .

Not sure what the point is of always trying to play the blame game and expect every perfection from everyone, without knowing anything about the circumstances or perspective from the other side.
