Good evening everyone, i have the SimCheck A300B4-200 and i fly with the default ATC of FSX. I load waypoints manually to the INS for more realism, but when i do this, i can't ask the ATC for IFR clearance. In the ATC dialog box only "request visual clearance" appears. Am i doing something wrong? Or if i fly with VFR clearances, can i still ask for ils directives to atc while approaching to my destination?

 

By the way if i enter the first 9 waypoints to the captain's ins and the following 9 waypoints to the first officer's ins, how can i switch between them? By switching between autopilot 1 and 2? (or AP a and b)?

I think the only way to get an IFR clearance in FSX is use the FSX flight planner to create the IFR route.

Ah, thanks, i get it. But if i fly without atc, can i still contact the atc near my destination for ils restrictions? 

No.  In FSX, by default, all flights are VFR, VFR with flight following, or IFR.  Unless you use the IFR flight planner and fly IFR, you cannot get much interaction with ATC other than clearance for touch and go or full stop landing.
