I tried my 1st IFR flight in P2A last night and everything went just great except that I didn't get vectored to the runway. I eventually had to just fly the pattern myself with no further instructions from ATC. It was an uncontrolled airfield with no ILS so I wasn't expecting hand holding down to the landing, but when I've done IFR previously with X-Plane's built-in ATC I would get vectored for a visual approach. I probably did something wrong setting up the flight plan. If so please let me know. The flight plan was simple:

I

The P2A logfile had some weirdness. Its too big to paste the whole thing, but here is where it starts looking odd:

which also goes on for a long time.

 

Looks like numerous errors prevented ATC from completing its mission.  I just tested, and this scenario does work in the next update.

For now, if you're planning an IFR flight, be sure the Arrival airport has published IFR approaches.

Thanks for the report.
