Vectors to final sometimes, other times not?

Featured Replies

I've noticed that RC will sometimes vector you to final by default, and other times will not. What is the criteria for this decision? I just completed a flight where the visibility and ceiling at my destination were close to minimums, no chance of a visual approach. Yet for some reason that I can't figure out, RC4.3 didn't vector me to final as I expected it would. I ended up having to tell it to give me the full ILS. Why does it sometimes vector me onto the ILS on it's own (as real world ATC would) and other times I have to specifically request that RC4 give me an approach (and when I do that it says "cleared full ILS" and then terminates radar services. Why are vectors to final not always the default?

there are times that you are so lined up for final, there are no vectors necessaryyou just have to keep an eye on the rc display, watch the heading to the airport and the heading of the runway, and keep them in sync, until you receive the localizerif you can duplicate the problem, follow the steps pinned at the top of the forum, and create a .log file, and send it to mejd

Yeah I have had that situation happen before, but not often. These last few times that I have received no vectors to final I have not been at all lined up with the final approach course. I will read through the manual and see if anything strikes me as pertaining to the situation and if not then I'll make a log for you.
