Side Step Approaches

[Guest Ed Lin]

I never spent much time with the default ATC in FS9. However, from my research, despite it's shortcomings, it sounds like the default ATC in FS9 might occasionally give instructions for a side step approach.I've never gotten such an instruction from RC4 and I'm wondering if there is such a thing within the program or some way to replicate...uh...without FAA jumping on my tail after landing, that is?Thank you.Ed Lin, D.O.S.

My friend is a IRL pilot who says it depends on a lot of factors but they happen. I googled sidestep maneuvers and came up with alot of info.
