What about circling?? Congestion.

[gn85]

I wish real life didn't have congestion.  Certainly could do without circling outside of Heathrow for an hour.  But it happens.. and happens everywhere.  But in FS world you always get to land right away.  Wonder if FSX will feature these real world headaches and have us (and other traffic) circling for hours.

even if they do who here would turn on AI traffic then  ;)

Would be cool but not for hours. Id break some rules after about 20 mins.

i would too gunnerman, rulebreaking is my life (except inside school)

Far better to have ATC control a proper holding pattern with AI calling progressive lower levels. Heathrow lands a 'plane every 60 mins couldn't do that without a holding pattern.

some of the most heavily conjested airports (i.e) Heathrow , KLAX, O'hare etc. might have have you hold in pattern then you would recieve clearence to land. But otherwise most airports have good ATC, but If your AI going crazy limit it or delete cuz FS AI aint that well controlled. lol But FSX should have better ATC etc.

A plane every 60 MINS??? No wonder it's such a pain flying into Heathrow!  :P

I think I'd be breaking some rules too!  But it would be pretty strange to see AI falling outta the sky because they run out of fuel.

Pfft... that's nothing (assuming you didn't mean 60 seconds); when KEWR is really busy, they bring 'em in on average every two minutes or less. Parallel runways, of course, but they're departing at about the same rate. Sometimes the controllers sound like those guys who read the discaimers at the end of a radio advertisement...

45 seconds is heathrows average landing departure time.

[gijake]

Landing is soooo over rated!

Dammit, I meant 60 secs, but it takes 60 mins if you need to go around.
