Missed Cross Wind

Featured Replies

Hi AllI have done numerous flights using FSBuild to generate a flightplan.I did a flight from San Diago (KSAN) to Las Vegas (KLAS).On this particular flight I had Otto flying the aircraft and was cleared for the approach rwy 25R.I was given a heading which took me on the downwind leg to Rwy 25R and was expecting to get a heading for the cross wind at about 17 Miles East of the airport, but nothing happened and the plane kept flying with no further instructions.I the requested an IAP approach and flew the approach myself, with the usual congratulations.The same problem occured several days ago on another flight during the downwind leg.When doing a streight in approach, It appears that the instructions given by approach to Otto works as advertised.It appears to be just the downwind leg where I am not getting the croswind heading.Tks. for any assistance.Kenny G.

if the msa is higher, then the downwind is going to be longer. i won't descend you below the msajd

It would probably be more realistic (and maybe more fun) to ask RC for the full approach and then follow the approach chart. My home airport (KONT) has a high MSA, so that's what I do. Otherwise RC takes me so far away from the field on downwind that I move out of range of the localizer!

Josh for your reply.Actually this happened twice and like yourself I did the full approach the first time this happened.When it happened the second like I mentioned in my previous post I just let it fly the downwind for 28 miles at which time it finally got the instructions to turn the base turn.Being from Ontario Canada we do most of our flying in the Toronto area and the altitude above sea level does not go much beyond 1,000 feet.I was in uncharted waters when I took a trip into the Salt Lake, and Las Vegas area and had never been to an area with the MSL above 4,000.Happy simming.Kenny G.
