false TCAS alerts
-
Dear JF team,
I noticed something flying to EDDM with a lot of VATSIM traffic, the TCAS is behaving strangely, I think it is too sensitive. In fact, despite the fact I set it to 5nm range, it is only giving oral ALERT and never ADVISORY. Is it normal?

Because here, in my example, I am establishing on ILS 26L while a B77W is establishing on ILS 26R.
Our lateral separation is 3nm, everything is fine, no one was overshooting, nothing justify the TCAS escape maneuver. I had to disregard it as I knew it wasn't really matching the situation.I feel the TCAS system is kind of random. I already had similar situation in more obvious ways, such as traffic crossing me 2000ft above, TCAS asking me to descent... or a trafic at 15nm (if range is set to 20nm) and TCAS asking me to climb/descent.
Is it possible to add the ADVISORY state "TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC..." and reduce the ALERT state, it seems to be over-sensitive to everything while asking for strange maneuvers.
Thanks,
Alex
