That why pilots should use his/her had, charts and stay on top of the airplane!

There is magic world that MSFS ATC is missing "unable" 🙂

Again with the ATC?

What's the problem now? 🙄

So the fact that in a 5-minute span they give multiple instructions that have never been given in the history of worldwide aviation isn't an issue for you?

We've been through all of this two days ago already. If the default ATC is getting you worked up that much already, I doubt the rest of the sim will be for you.

Am I correct in assuming that you were entering a control area where the transition altitude was above the altitude you would be entering it at and that The instruction was actually FL049 or FL49? Because FL490 is 49,000 feet no matter where you're flying. And were that the case either 4,900 feet was either the MVA or the MDA on whichever segment of the approach they were clearing you for.

Do you have an answer or did you just come here to be argumentative and pointless? We most certainly have not been through this. 

Meh another minor bug. Yawn. Going back to sleep until the 18th...

Anyone can nitpick any flight sim to death, none are perfect in every way.  I prefer to remain happy about all of the very positive things MFS has rather than obsess over the minor issues.

Never in the history of aviation has an aircraft been asked to climb to or descend to some random altitude like 7,800. Never. An approach clearance, a la "Descend and maintain 3,600 until established on the localizer, cleared ILS runway 33 approach", sure. But just randomly? Nope. Absolutely bizarre.

Yes, we have. Two days ago I explained to you that if you're obsessing about ATC phraseology in a sim that is primarily aimed towards newcomers, that sim will probably not be for you: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/579652-disappointed-in-alphabeta-tester-selection/?do=findComment&comment=4290581

And, to answer your question: I'm not an expert on the language ATC uses, so I didn't notice a problem there. I'm pretty sure 90% percent of MSFS users won't, either.

Edited by Der Zeitgeist

There are several choices on what to do.  You could... deal with it (along with 1000 other things), turn your radio off (one less thing to deal with), go fly XPlane (which obviously has the best ATC available), fly only on VATSIM or similar, or wait for someone to make an offine ATC that you like.  Good luck on that last one.

I'm not talking about phraseology. The phraseology here is correct. The instruction is hitherto unheard of. And 100% of pilots would notice it immediately. 

I'm not continuing an old argument, my friend. You are.

And as was expained to you in the other thread by various users, the default ATC isn't designed for real-world pilots.
