IFR— Wow I request a altitude decrease to 14000 feet, which it granted, then it assigned an altitude of 25000, I requested a decrease of 10000 ft.. Which played the request as 0 feet and then it denied.  Had to kill my IFR flight plan, I did not want to be assigned to Alt of 25K.

Hope I can give this feedback..

Yeah, default ATC leaves a lot to be desired.  Pilot2atc is a great substitute.

I was once making a flight of only a couple of miles, I was told to climb to 20K feet.

The way it was done in FSX was better, when you could choose the altitude prior to takeoff.

Yea , the ATC is a little bit a piece of garbage to me, since Patch 1.15.xx.xx it is not realy useable anymore.

Hopefully Asobo works on this..🤔

cheers 😉

You fantastic positive attitude really shines through with every post you make Bob.  What an inspiration to us all!

You can set your cruise altitude prior to flying from the world map, under the Nav Log menu.

You can do exactly that in MSFS.

In addition, there are 300 threads about the default ATC and what it can and cannot do.

Perhaps, instead of constantly complaining, some developer will step up to the plate and deliver an ATC addon that integrates seamlessly into MSFS, provides proper functionality, and realistic-sounding voices.

I think we'll have commercial travel between Earth and Mars before this ever happens.

and it often quite happily ignores that.

Try flying in the UK using London or Manchester control.  It is not unusual to be flying a Cessna172 and being told to climb to FL320.  Having said that, a lot of the time it just happily chunters away being not to incorrect and I am sure that things will improve, but certainly at times it reminds me of a famous movie where ATC says  "hmmm  picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue"

Well, they are working on improvements, so we'll see what happens.

I used "ProAtc" when I had P3D installed, which worked quite good. Not sure if they are working to upgrade it to MSFS, or working on it at all.

I own that Pilot 2ATC. It is awesome...  It uses FSUIPC, Is anyone currently using this in FS2020?  I would think there would be development required for interfacing to FS2020. 
 

Thanks!

They are working on bringing it to MSFS as we speak, according to their post on their forums. The P3D version also got an update recently after a long time.

That sounds good, if the Sim ATC not getting overworked for better usage i will go on something like that - as far as we get one.
