Was wondering what most PMDG users do when flying the 737NG. I like being able to talk to ATC etc but I dont like being put on redundant headings, not using SID/STARS, descents at wrong times etc etc. So what is most user's solution to this? Alex P.

I use VATSIM :) I stay as far away from FS ATC as possible.

Same here, default ATC is just bad.

I don't fly online, so I just fly my route and get a flight following from the ARTCCs so I have something to interact with for traffic and such. Although, the traffic alerts are useless for class E aircraft. Usually they tell you when the other plane is about 1 mile away or no longer a threat LOLChris

Lol yeah thats why I can't wait for TCAS2. I just did a flight without any ATC and I got an overspeed disconnect because the FMC descended to late. The only reason that I use the default ATC is because they tell me when to descend at the right time. -Alex P.

I tried FS's ATC and hated it! I have not flown VATSIM much at all but I know it's the way to go and will do that after the 800 is released. For now I fly from any RNWY SID+STAR I like without the headache of FS's ATC making changes I see fit.. [h4]Best Wishes,Randy J. Smithhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/betaimg.jpg

I usually fly in VFR mode as I use SID/STAR :) default ATC is so bad :DDany Setyadihttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/supporter.jpg
