What’s One Thing that New Players do That Drives You Crazy?

I’ll start:

I hate it when people see the max possible speed and use FULL POWER to climb at 350kts on an A320. They’re also the type of people that will land when you’re still on the runway after refusing to go around because they were going 200 knots on final and somehow don’t get reported.

Interested to hear yours!

This right here—a non-existent route. The worst part of all is the aircraft and the airline used

Big planes on short routes that are unrealistic*

*Middle east dosent really count because they use wide bodies on sh ex OMBD-OTHH

When I do ATC for the lower levels no one listens. I try to treat it how expert is treated but no one listens and just does what they want

I was landing in Tampa. This plane sped up to beat me to landing. They flew right above at 230 knots to land. I was already clear to land.

  • Trying to beat you to the runway to take off first.
  • Taking off in the wrong direction, even when everyone else is using the proper runway.
  • Cutting you off or tailing you on approach.
  • Not maintaining a reasonable distance in general.
  • People copying your flight plan and then tailing you the entire flight.
  • Not using the CTAF frequency at LHR (or other busy airports) on expert to communicate.

That’s six things, not one. Lol.

We have bigger problems…

Yeah. We should be able to disconnect users on TS (not report) if we can pass a test but don’t want to join IFATC.

I’m sorry, but is this just another vent topic for expert server things you don’t like, because it feels like it to me :thinking:.

  1. Requesting takeoff when last in line
  2. Requesting “Remaining in the Pattern” with a Flight Plan
  3. Flying those short haul routes in Aircraft like B77W or A388 Ahem Simsquad like already mentioned above

Forcing people to fly “realistically”

I can’t speak for others when I say this but, I’m not forcing people to fly realistically. On the Expert Server, yes. That’s what the ES is for. In the Training Server and Casual Server, people can do what they like by still being respectful.

A certain @Junya with the callsign ‘Air Force 67’ heavy.

Doing a low pass (roughly 200ft above) a VERY BUSY Denver on the ES.

We need higher grades and maybe a written test.
