In Infinite Flight we should have a TCAS system. This would make this flight sim a whole lot more realistic. Not only should we have the display, we should also have the warning sound effects if we come too close to another aircraft. Right now there are 3 tabs in IF (General, Map, and Systems). The developers should add another tab dedicated to TCAS. It should look something like this:

Btw, there is a topic created about TCAS, but it is very vauge and unspecific. I wanted to create another one to go in depth about this topic:)
But it’s kinda missing the “climb climb/ climb now!” for one aircraft and the “descend descend/descend now!” for the other…
*There are more warnings for TCAS, like “Traffic traffic”
I think @epaga already covered that in his app, I’m not sure. Well, it isn’t available to everyone at the moment, so it would be a very welcome feature.
If both of the plane had listened to TCAS, then this collision wouldn’t happened. This collision happened because one plane listened to TCAS while the other one listened to the ATC. That’s the problem here.
Btw, I would love to see this feature. I would support anything that makes Infinite Flight better and more realistic
We technically already have it on the map. Just as @Dhops said, as aircraft get closer to you, they turn to yellow, and then to red if nothing has been done to correct the problem.
That was because the Russian plane didn’t obey the TCAS system, but the DHL did. In fact, if both planes had followed the TCAS system, the collision would have never occurred.
