Approach selection by P3Dv4

[yellowjack]

Hi all, I have been flying my trusty Real Air Baron around the USA and enjoying the cooler States weather. I always plan and fly IFR flights and the Baron has instrumentation for full ILS approaches.

I have noticed that I was always given visual approaches by ATC. However this morning I was giving the option of a GPS approach to one airport  and on my next and last leg I was given a full ILS approach.  The weather was VFR in all cases.

My question is, does anybody have any clues on how PR3V4 decides what approaches it will offer a pilot and if there is an option to force a particular approach type?  At the moment it all feels very random and I don't know of any way to change or expand the ATC offering?

Default ATC is quite bad. If you want better ATC get an ATC addon. There are several but I prefer ProATC for ease of use when it comes to setting things up for a flight (just a few clicks) and during the flight (no interface on screen).
