I have a question for other users (like me ) who are using Radar Contact v4 with p3d. I find it still to be a reliable and accurate ATC addon for P3d. My question is how do other users handle short flights? For example, if I fly the route between CYVR an CYYJ, it is about a 30 minute flight, but the algorithm which vectors the aircraft for an ILS approach, takes almost as much distance as the original flight plan. Anyone found a solution? RC users only, please.

I either ask for a visual approach whenever possible or for "the full ILS" approach. I'm then responsible for my own guidance until close to the field where Approach asks me to contact Tower. You could also tell ATC that you could "take any shortcuts they may have." This normally results in a much shorter downwind.

"Take any shortcuts?"  That's a new one for me...where do you find that option?

@DA2XX it's called a "Short Final" request. From page 57 of the RC manual: 

"You can ask Approach for a Short Final, an early turn onto base/final anytime while on their
downwind legs. Short final is available on the AdvDisp page 2. Approach will accommodate
this request according to traffic load."
