Are you on IFR flight plan? It sound like you're not. You can either file IFR or just do what you want to do without interacting with ATC.

Some airports in FSX seem to allow only IFR traffic. Most will allow VFR landing, unless weather conditions do not permit VFR, but a few are IFR all of the time. If you are flying VFR and end up at your destination and are told the airport is IFR, you can go into the flight planning menu, create an IFR plan, save the plan, then when prompted to move your airplane to the departure airport click "no". This will allow you to file your IFR plan on the fly, then ATC will put you on an IFR approach.

Think it could be the right response about your question...

That's interesting. Didn't know that. Could you possibly list a few, please?

 

To the OP: It might be related to the weather, if conditions don't allow VFR operations, you'll always get that message. The only thing you could do, is change to a VFR weather theme.

Here are three that I've never been able to obtain landing clearance except via IFR.

Thanks! I think I'l try flying there in obvious VFR conditions later today, and see if ATC allow me to land there. I'm really curious about that.

Once you're granted IFR approval, be careful not to contact TC too early. I did the other day flying to KDFW and was instructed to descend to and maintain 9500' when I was 200 nm out. I was at FL320 and wasn't going to descend for about another 100 nm. Talk about a waste of fuel.

 

cheers, Al
