osulover15 Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 FDX522 is taxing by FDX764 which parked but I got a Ground Collision Alert. Why? They shouldn't have hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelThere Ariel Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Had you issued a pushback and startup command just before FDX522 taxied behind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osulover15 Posted September 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 no. It did it for FDX 945 and FDX 764, which is why my score on the top is -1320 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hexzed Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Yep this is pretty common. The wingtips will strike the waiting aircraft and you will get a ground collision. I used to get it at Atlanta a lot. It will depend on the taxiway width, but i have noticed it is more prevalent in some airports over others Sometimes it cant be avoided, but just try and get the planes out in order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osulover15 Posted September 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 The other thing I noticed is it doesn't happen unless the other planes (FDX945 and FDX764) have radioed for pushback, otherwise, it doesn't hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twgeoghegan Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Seems to happen a lot with the KMEM simulation. I was really looking forward to KMEM for the FEDEX aircraft, but it has quickly become my least favorite. The same ramp that's shown in the picture above, and a couple others on the FEDEX side of the airport, end up costing me thousands and thousands of points in Ground Collisions between taxiing aircraft and parked aircraft to whom I haven't issued pushback commands (same problem described above); once the ramp gets busy it's just about impossible to not wind up with ground collisions, as the taxiing planes will either collide with the parked planes, or two planes parked directly across from one another will collide as soon as one begins pushback. Horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocket_dynamo Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Same problem here. I just bought the KMEM-DLC yesterday and had ground collisions right from the start. Some planes can't even be pushed back when a plane on the adjacent position asked for pushback, too. This DLC clearly wasn't tested properly prior to release.

pete_agreatguy Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Me and a friend had a similar issue the other day on KLAX. Two American heavy aircraft (believe they were A321's) were at the gate waiting to pushback. Pushback command was given to one. 5 minutes later he still hadn't moved. Gave the next pushback command and he was also "stuck" so we just deleted them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A321s aren't heavy aircraft. Was the game indicating them as such? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise the A321 wasn't considered a heavy. What constitutes an airliner being assigned the "heavy" status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobflight Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 A32x are not heavy aircraft. The heaviest are no more than about 210,000 pounds. - also specific to AA's A321s - https://www.airlinereporter.com/2014/02/what-makes-a-heavy-heavy/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crbascott Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Hopefully in the next version we’ll see the addition of heavy and super as required in the actual commands (versus just the strip). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be brilliant if we could use those commands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
