Yes you can use IFR ATC with PIC. However, you will be restricted to your planned altitude, so if you need to make a step climb, you will have to wait until you are handed off to another controller. Then you acknowledge the change of frequency, tune to the new frequency, but DO NOT CONTACT the controller. That way, you won't get your IFR plan cancelled.Also, ATC will not usually use your STAR. Instead, they will vector you around however they feel. They may also have you begin your descent before VNAV plans. You will have to either select FL CHG or Descend Now from the VNAV DESC page of the FMC. Otherwise, your IFR plan will be cancelled.Because it is frequently annoying, I usually just go VFR and use flight following. That way I can do the DP's, STAR's, climbs and descents the way I programmed them. I wish there was more interaction with MSFS's ATC, but I guess that is what VATSIM is for.
