Although I had read about this sort of things related to AI in MSFS, I had never seen one myself. So let me share it with you.
These two guys were instructed to hold short several minutes before I turned into this taxi way. And then, I got the same instruction. Five minutes later, we were still looking at each other. So I just ignored ATC hold short instruction and went around them. Which was not very elegant, perhaps. Let me add that several minutes later I took off without hearing any further instruction for any of them. So I assume they stayed there for the night.
From now on I will only call them A Traffic.

Re: AI intelligent?
Hah, yeah without custom AFCAD's the AI can get pretty messed up. I currently have 80 different airlines of AI loaded into FSX, so consequently I have about 300 custom AFCAD's installed to prevent major pileups...at the major airports of the world.

Yes, I know it`s a matter of software but I can think of at least two words for these &^(%%* A software eaters that out of the blue show up and destroy your dream flight 30 yards before it`s competed.

Hi Joe,
Annoying aren't they? If you haven't done so already turn off your crash detect and they will happily pass through you like some spectral vehicle

Well, that's an idea. Perhaps only while taxiing so the game doesn't lose its realism. Thanks Roger

Re: AI intelligent?
Collision detection in FSX is pretty bad anyway. I had many a mishap where FSX thought I hit a building with my wing yet there was 8 or 9 feet to spare. Hence, I turned it off long ago.

Oh I would love good crash detection. But when I spend 30 min putting all the values in my FMC and waiting for IRS alignment et al for a 4 hr flight, do push back and randomly fsx decides that I crashed into some scenery object that does not exist I get rather irritated...and I try to avoid irritation...lol

You've got a point there. It's annoying.

Re: AI intelligent?
Unfortunately you have to turn it off for on-line flying as you can get a crash just getting close to another colleagues aircraft on the taxiway. This is because FSHost etc may not accurately compute the aircraft's position to within a few metres.
