Sometimes I think you're acting like your own software: a blind, eyeless voice trying to guide your plane through dangerous virtual skies. That makes your problems unsolvable — and my €30, non-refundable. This isn't a 'bug issue'; it's your software's structure and logic that are flawed, as other more careful users have already pointed out. My only hope now rests on the experimental branch.

Then ask for a refund.

It's sad, because you are about to miss out on one of the best ATC add-ons available for MSFS. Yesterday I did an IFR flight from KIND to KSTL and it was perfection from departure to arrival.

Maybe what you need is a vacation from posting at AVSIM. It will serve you well.

The latest "massive update!!!11 we rewrote everything!!!!!" was a another nothingburger. On a visual approach, I still:

1. Received pointless vectors away from my destination

2. Was told to slow to approach speed while on downwind (????)

3. Didn't get handed off to tower

My issue with BATC is they drop these supposed "big updates" and they turn out to do nothing.

This sums up my feelings towards BATC. I'd argue that they have not significantly improved the basics in the year or two since I've owned, while instead, being content to issue "update" after "update" with shiny new features that really don't address flaws like the above. That said, am I better off with BATC or without? I'd say it still adds value to my sim experience.

Yeah, despite my complaining, I still use it. I just have to ignore like... 50% of its commands? And that hasn't really improved over the last year.

My vectoring has been much better lately (I'm on the main branch, not experimental). Other than the known issue with late descents, I've been getting pretty good vectors. No crazy wrong way instructions, basically putting me 30 degrees or so with the runway heading. I'm flying into smaller, regional airports with no procedures, and it seems to be doing ok. My last flight was into KELM, a very small regional airport in central NY.
