I am sick and tired of the stupidity on the expert server. With the large influx of pilots in the recent weeks. We’ve gotten a lot of unrealistic flying on the expert server from but not limited to Grade 3. Frankly I am done with it and as of today I am going to break that report button. I will make it look like I am button smashing playing Street Fighter. I highly suggest that those of you fed up with this, join me.
Thank you. The amount of people doing unrealistic stuff in expert is only increasing. Or flyers are so lenient with that report button but sometimes I’m pressing the report button like 4 times for the same person. These people would be off the Expert server if others were a lot stricter with fellow flyers
There is a reason why the report button is there. There is also a reason for there to be a training server. If people are not going to follow directions and fly the way your are supposed to on the expert server, then whats the point. You are missing the point bro. They can do all the nonsense on a different server.
And the reporting of bad airmanship is okay. That’s why the feature is there.
But when you or others specifically asking other folks to join you on a server to go and target users as a group it crosses a line. I know this happen more than is let on which is why I rarely ever log on to Expert. I trust the controllers but not my fellow users.
Target folks that are not following the rules and using the expert server as it was intended. It takes 3 people to get a disrespectful pilot off the server. I remember being at KNUC and having a pilot in a 773 taxiing through grass, taking off in the opposite direction, causing havoc and me as 1 person not being able to do anything but sit there and watch as he phased through my aircraft 5-6 times.
Worse than that and the thing that pisses me off the most about the situation is that you can come on to the forums and express your frustration and all you get is “fly on advanced” or “fly on expert” … we dont even have a safe haven anymore.
You have a point. It would only ban them from expert whilst other servers would still be available. Something should be done though; Vatsim and other professional platforms don’t have problems as serious as IF live does.
In honest it’s become easier for someone to get a grade 3 rating because the landing requirement can easily be achieved since there are more aircraft equipped with APPR. What I see is someone who only has 10k exp coming on with 50 landing in a 787, 777, 737BBJ, or A320 who has never landed in their life because all the know is the APPR button. The landing requirement used to do a good job of getting those who understood how to fly and the rules because it took so much knowledge about aircraft and flying procedure to land one of them correctly. Now any average Joe can come on get a Grade 3 that doesn’t know an AS from a GS to a FPM
The only thing is… how would they implement a form/test into the app itself, and add code that wouldn’t allow a user to gain access to the server unless a passing grade is achieved on the test. For IFATC tests, they manually look through the test submissions (and later once the practical is passed, manually enable the individual user to have access to be an ATC on the expert server). Notice how it requires two manual actions. That is only possible because there is not a high number of people joining IFATC at once. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of users that fly expert so the test and server entry would have to all be automatic. I like your concept though, but as always, some issues arouse. Not impossible though.
A sad day tiss the time it’ll end. Nimrods and idiots are everywhere now. But at the same time doing some drastic measures would be stealing money of some. Like @AmericanAirlines says having some type of test would help. But we know we’re going to get people who will search the answers up on the internet. I’ve flown many time and even in a video I did I was on KNUC ground told me to taxi to RWY 06 and an Avianca to taxi to RWY 06. Then an Air France was taxiing to parking. So the Avianca turned to where the Air france was taxiing and the Air France went straight through me without waiting. Tiss very sad thing but like I said some of there guys payed for the app and live and if there not getting what it’s worth the devs can’t be making money to run IF.
