AI traffic crashing into my aircraft

[SaVas]

Ive noticed when I dont "talk to the ATC" such as at night when Im about to go to bed and turn on a long distant flight (autopilot) while I
sleep and I dont talk to the ATC I tend to get bumped because the AI dont recognise that I am on the runway, however if I talk to the ATC
and follow their directions to the runway, I never get bumped.

Setting up for take off from active runway in FS9 instead of taxiing from the gates to the runway, means your aircraft on the runway is kind
of like a ghost to the AI but only on the runway. When your aircraft is on the taxiways it is recognized by the program.

Notice when you are coming in for a landing. If you dont talk to the ATC, the AI act as though you arent there and taxi onto the runway for
take off, however when you are communicating with the ATC (kind of the brains of the flight sim) the aircraft wait for take off until you land.
now AI aircraft also coming in for a landing will sometimes crash into you or flight right over/under you if your approach speeds are
slower than the AI.

So in conclusion, talk to the ATC from the gates and taxi to the runway and dont use start from active runway.

if you do start from the active, immediately talk to the ATC follow instructions with the ground. you are already for take off so contact the
tower afterwards. This will halt the AI from crashing into you.
