August 10, 201312 yr Hi everyone, I have a problem with Wilco airbus.For Example, i do a route with FlightSim Commander, I enter everything in my FMGC, however, when I'm in middle of flight,they say my to turn my heading to 100º (for example), and that's not the route that i did in FlightSim Commander, and entered in FMGC... Can someone help me? Greetings from Portugal, Francisco
August 11, 201312 yr First of all, welcome to Avsim! What ATC tries to do is vector you on the route it thinks is most apt for intercepting the LOC or RWY centerline (although default ATC will never assign you a STAR, most of the approaches look very much like the corresponding RW STAR, except for the zig-zagging). So it depends on what you want: In real life you would of course have to do what ATC request you. However, this being a simulation you could let ATC talk, but proceed on your own route, which will bring you to the same airport. Another option would be to "select another approach", and then select the waypoint that is also on your STAR. ATC will then clear you direct to this waypoint, and will not interfere with your flight any longer, except for giving you new altitudes. Once you are close to the waypoint, ATC will clear you to the RWY and hand you off to Tower control. This method may seem a bit more comlicated, but whenever I fly under ATC, I use this method, because the zig-zag approaches are complete nonsense to me. Hope this helps, Flo Florian
August 11, 201312 yr Default ATC is garbage and that's why you get these stupid instructions. Alex Jevdic KORD/KHOT/KPWKA<380 love at first flight
