"Hi there, after crossing the ocean, a beautiful landing, taxiing to the gate, only to be stopped by a building which had a rendez-vous with my left wing. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wub.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wub.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wub.gif[/img] Strange thing is that I was taxiing (according to FAA-regulations) on the center of the taxiway!! Has anyone ever had problems with this??? So, is the damage to the building subtracted from my pay???????? Happy landings (and dockings!!) Wijnand"

[right][snapback]2813[/snapback][/right] </div> Hello Ted, The airport was KORD (Chicago O'hare) and I am not sure about the taxiway, the last sign I saw (yellow signs with black letters) was ""A19"" Ofcvourse it is easy to blame FS, but in fact I am still respon sible [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img] Greetings, Wijnand"

"I have that same problem at Incheon...they have a building touching the edge of the taxiway. If you take a left coming out of the cargo, it's right there."

My next assignment is PO512, the first leg ends at incheon, the second departs from there. If I see a damaged building somewhere, I will remember your post!!!!! Greetings, "

"Hi I experienced a similar problem in Chennai, No pay deduction yet but 0 hour flying time! frustrating after a nice long flight and a good landing with no broken runway lights for a change... But we are all responsible for the aircraft until parking brake is on! cheers"

"I've had this problem too. Now I stop and send the log before I exit the runway, then I taxi to the cargo ramp. Nothing worse than losing a long flight because of some invisible ""gotcha."" billg"

"After clipping the building at RKSI (Incheon) and screwing up my flight, I turned off crash detection. I think I fly good enough to turn it off without thinking that I am somehow cheating. This avoids the very irritating unexpected building crashes. At RKSI, I recommend taking the taxiway between the runways if you are departing to the north as a way to avoid the building. "
