I watch George fly from SLC to PHX he was just outside of KPHX and he told me he was on final. So these results baffle both of us.

Another 737 cut in front of me. No time to abort. Landed and missed him. WHY charged with wrong airport???

Same thing happened to me some time ago.
I think thtas because, MSFS after a crash takes you to the starting airport (starting airport is the one in which you start the FS not necessarily the one you depart from).

thats odd. I don't think i've seen something like this before. They baffle me as well.

I can't explain this but prehaps we can get somebody who can

Check the database for weather stations near the airport you landed, sometimes a weather station will be entered into the database, and causes this to happen. The problem existed at KIAD as well.

Did you park at the terminal? or did you apply the parking brakes out on a taxiway?

Might have found the error, pilot admitted to applying the brakes on the GRASS!

Generally not a problem, but where at the airfield did he apply the brakes? If there's another weather station near PHX i want to get it removed from the db.

I will have to have him check in on this thread.

I am the pilot who had the problem.
I never saw the 737 the tower was telling me to follow in until we were REAL close. He just sort of popped up from under me.
Just as my gear touched the runway (ILS approach) the tower called for me to abort and go around.
Too late...
I deployed full speed brakes, the flaps were already at full, mashed on the wheel brakes and activated full reverse thrust.
I moved my plane half onto the grass along side the runway and managed to miss contact with the other plane as I passed him. How he got stopped so fast must be a game thing because no real pilot could have done it that fast.
By the time I got my plane stopped I had gone off the other end of the runway on the grass there. (You don't get stopped as fast on grass as on tarmac or concrete.)
NO damage to plane noticed.
I did NOT move off the grass and back onto the tarmac. I ended the game while still on the grass at the far end of the runway.

Which runway were you vectored to land on? That will give the area where you applied the brakes.

I THINK it was Runway 8. HPHX

He means KPHX, Phoenix Arizona.
