December 6, 20196 yr Last night I flew IFR from Princess Juliana to Guantanamo Bay. I was at 12,000 feet, 10 miles from the destination when I was handed to the tower and cleared to land, and to descend to about 2000. Ack! What do you want me to do? Then they started barking orders at me and I couldn't keep up, stalled and crashed. That's why there is more than one person in a cockpit. Good thing I'm not a real pilot
December 6, 20196 yr Administrators Sorry, Andy! Please turn in your pilot's license at the front desk! 😉 Assuming a visual approach to the runway, I have received many of those and I call them "deck dives".

December 7, 20196 yr The ATC in FSX does some weird things, like make you do 90 degree turns with the end result being back on the course that you had been following. It's landing clearance will sometimes make you descend at ridiculous rates.

It's landing clearance will sometimes make you descend at ridiculous rates. I was thinking FSX's default ATC too. It is awful for IFR flights - I use third party ATC instead. In the meantime, andyjohnston, you can just try to descend normally and safely, then radio the airport tower to report a missed approach once you know a safe landing would be impossible. You will be vectored to a go-around and a safer attempt at the landing.

December 7, 20196 yr FSX ATC once sent me every which way on an IFR flight to Zurich, even reversing my course a few times! Finally gave up and ended the whole flight... A more reliable and realistic ATC is certainly on my wish list for "2020".
