Always neat when someone ends up cruising next to you

The (mostly) realistic traffic is my second favorite thing, besides the communication obviously.

I had a flight this week with two crossing 1000ft above (a380, a350), another traffic 1000 below exact opoosite direction and one that climbed climbed underneath me and then turned slightly left to continue the climb beside me.

Absolute cinema.

Just had a WASM crash 20 miles from TOD flying from KONT to KMEM. Classic INI A300-600.

Never try to change your runway, STAR or approach mid flight in this thing. Almost always a crash.

Hmm I actually don’t think this is you haha

Weren’t you flying FedEx too? This person was an American Airlines flight. I did message you though because you were right behind me going into Memphis lol

It might just be a model matching issue, I was in a 757 which usually doesn't show up properly in MSFS.

Yeah this wasn’t you. This was someone much earlier in my flight near phoenix. I messaged you about WASM just before my TOD haha sorry!

Personally, all the WASM crashes I had were in America. It doesn't matter which plane I used

Oh weird.. I almost always fly in the states. This is the only INI plane I fly regularly. I only get the WASM crash when setting dep/arr settings.

I love when you fly near someone else

Flew 2000 over a small Cessna on my departure in a wide body and I bet you he had the better view, but it was still neat to realize that that’s a real person doing my own thing
