So I don’t have any pictures for it, but I was flying from EGLL to EPWA and I was relaxing in a flight. I checked the map and I saw a Singapore flight about 10-15 miles behind me. 5-10 minutes later, it was 7 miles, then was 6, then 5. He finally pulled away at 4 miles, but I got nervous (for some reason). I know it might not sound scary but it felt like I was being stalked in the game. He was at the same altitude as well.

My scariest moment was in the Vancouver - Honolulu Flash Flight a few months ago when I almost gone through a Moderator while taxiing : /

My scariest moment was when I was on Grade 2 and I was on training server. I saw a plane ahead of me and 3 minutes later we were about 20feet apart and we almost had a collision. I was also once on approach into MAN and me and an emirates a380 were landing on 23l and 23r at the same time so we were close together…
Moment of realization when you forget to calibrate.
Another occasion was back when I didn’t know what step climbing was and nosedived an A330.

This might actually be the scariest.
Just imagine going right through Misha Camp because you were distracted for just a second 😂.

I would disconnect before he could ban me hehe
Erm why didn’t you just increase your alt? The pilot in the other must be on a faster speed coming closer to you behind and not in control (away)

I was about to land in a KC-10 and…
Event 1. I forgot to lower my speed and was going 320 knots below 10,000
Event 2. I forgot to calibrate and so my nose just shot up (I lowered speed, but too much.)
Event 3. I almost stall out while trying to recalibrate
Event 4. I finally recalibrated, but I’m close to 90 knots (I had a lot of fuel left over soooo I was very heavy) so I firewall the throttle (rip engines)
Event 5. I finally get back up to speed but I was paying attention to if I was stalling or not. I then went up to like 260 knots while I was still below 1,000
Event 6. I finally lower my speed and I’m not stalling
It was very scary

Ohhh no expert server?
Understandable, have a good day
The other day I didnt realise the speed warning and I was kicked from the game because I was going m.78 under 10000 ft

2017 pre-global, I takeoff somewhere on expert with a joystick, but mere seconds after I lift off the joystick disconnects and without any controls I pull off a cool barrel roll before the mother earth stops me from getting a violation and possibly a ghost

I don’t know why everyone is so scared of the mods lol as long as you’re following the rules on Expert you’ll be fine. They’re not going to ban you or go crazy if you make a little mistake

Some say flying over New Zealand gives you the best views, others say southern Japan is better. But I say the best view is the interior cabin of a Qatari 777.
