Near Miss over Indonesia - AS37 Norm Edwards - 08-11-2011 Haven't been quite so close before and captured on screen. Me - at FL350 65nm NE of WIPP in a B763F, him/her - SIA B777-300ER at FL348 heading to WIII. Funnily enough the 777 starting turn left (prob just a waypoint tho - AI pilots aren't quite that smart yet! Click on the image to enlarge. Re: Near Miss over Indonesia - SCKing - 06-29-2014 Reading your post gave me a flashback. Similar in nature, I experienced a "close encounter" myself. I posted my encounter in the image section of the forum, and like your experience, was counting rivets as the UTII AI traffic blitzed by. However, more un-nerving than this close encounter is to see a cluster of closing traffic around you (image also posted in the image section). I find I absolutely have to have AI traffic on flights to make life more lively, but it took some time tweaking UTII to scale things down just a bit. Way too many flights being #7 to #15 for the active rwy. One can only make up so much time in the air.
