Almost a collision

Post by AirBlue »

I was flying tonite on a Heathrow to Frankfurt sector. On this scheduled flight, if there was a even seconds' difference, there could have been a disaster as the ATC did not report any of the airplanes by giving an allert (even thought i saw what was going on :roll: - the airplane was coming towards me too fast :shock:

airblue, you were on AF flight or RyanAir? If ATC did not responded then it could be a FS bug!! Dont you have TCAS gauge installed for your panel you were using which could alert you immediately for mid-air collision?

ahan...i will try to find out a fs panel for A340 with TCAS gauge if available over net.

Mean time, you can search www.flightsim.com or www.avsim.com under FS Panels section for A340 panel....and before downloading just check what gauges comes along with; hopefully TCAS gauge will be included in the package.

Saad, if you are looking for PIA liveries related to Abacus Airbus fleet then I am having doubt if anybody did that!!! Therefore, you can check with Abacus itself if they are providing additional liveries as per your desire?
