The problem happens when you have 2 (or more) traffic*.bgl files that use the exact same (flightplan) schedules. This happens when the author uses existing flight plans, just substituting different aircraft.

If you are present at departure the ATC cue will seperate them at take off. But....if the flights are spawned enroute (at the time you start the sim or they fly into your active ai area), they will be in tandem.

You would need to edit the times in one of the flight plans.

The load positions of the planes seem to be set by either the speed value listed in the aircraft.txt file (for TTools), or in the Reference section of the aircraft.cfg file (never tested that).  As you can see, when you have two identical aircraft models (which have identical values in both of those places above), they will start out in exactly the same place.  Near their destination they will "peel off" to separate for landing.

You can try changing the speed value of one of those aircraft liveries slightly in the aircraft.txt file and see if that changes anything, otherwise I don't know how to fix that...

Just a little Embraer love.... nothing to wory about... 

What kind of strange flightplan has a BA Embraer in the same geographical region as a United Express Embraer?  :-?

that explains why I hear so many traffic alerts on the ATC.

I had a similar thing at Edinburgh (UK2000 Extreme) with a BA & Easyjet 737 at the same gate.....I noticed the BA was moving so checked the airport options & found that staic aircraft had been installed, which I had NOT done 4 months earlier at installation.  Removing the statics did the trick
