I have done a short flight Malaga to Gibralatar using A320 aircraft, the cruise altitude was 10000 Ft , but the ATC told me to descent to 9000 feet on the approach and nothing more , the don't give me more descent instructions to land . Anyone has this problem with this airport? thanks

Just a guess, but the problem is not related to any given airport (Gibraltar), but is a general ATC issue and affects all airports equally.  

ATC is not working very well in MSFS at the moment, i never use it now as quite often it fails miserably. A prime example i was inbound into LOWI (Innesbruk) and have flown this route numerous times with the A320. I always start descending in good time, and knew i had to be at 5k by a certain point. ATC instead of stating descend and maintain 3k, it told me to climb to 9k which is totally wrong.

Far better to turn it off IMO, and learn through experiance. I normally start the descent at around 80-100 miles from the destination, and say 36k. aiming for 3k 10 miles or so from the Airport

It happens everywhere. I just turn off ATC voice and only use them for final approach QNH and Wind Direction/Speed which I feed in to the PERF page on final appraoch. I follow the flight plan for altitudes and turn on the constraint view (in purple) on the display. One major fix outstanding on the ATC.

Had I always listened to ATC, I would have bitten the virtual dust dozens of times. I do it similarly as CJ. As long as ATC‘s instructions are reasonable and in line with my flight plan, I follow them. If ATC tries to kill me, I ignore it. The constraint view is very useful. Just make sure that your programmed flight plan is flyable. I noticed that sometimes the built-in planning tool comes up with descent rates that aren‘t possible to fly.
