Hi there Flo, Whenever I file a flight plan with ATC it is always the FSX Plan (and always IFR), and yes, I am familiar with reading and interperting SID's and STARS. Out of curiousity I did a 'quick' Zurich(LSZH)-Frankfurt Main (EDDF) yesterday on a BBS Swiss Airbus 320 - same thing again: I get the announcement I am "X Miles from EDDF, expect vectors for runway XX, descend FLXXX and turn heading XXX" which, again, is in the opposite direction to EDDF. But I continue and after no further instructions for nearly 50 nm, I then get the instructions to turn to heading XXX, and think, "ok, we're getting somewhere", but almost immediately, "IFR is cancelled". I have checked and double checked, and of course, I am acknowledging all instructions. Any further thoughts?

Hi guys, This is my first post, and I have looked through the forums and cannot come up with anything, so please be kind to me :Praying: ? Something I've notice recently is that I'll load a flight plan (IFR), an everything STARTS ok. (I use PDMG MD11 and 747-400, and more recently, BBS Airbus prologue series) Everything is fine on the ground, but after take off the 'fun' begins(!): Either: 1) ATC is giving directions in an opposite direction of where I should be headed (eg. Take-off from Melbourne for Sydney (north-east) - and directed to fly in the direction of Tasmania (south-bound) or toward Adelaide (west-bound) or 2) on approach to a particular desination, I'm directly to fly on a heading that takes me near the city - then past it - and directs me to keep on flying ion a particular heading. Yes, I always try to reason this is the given SID or STAR and so continue to fly the instructed heading, only to be advised "IFR is camcelled". Has anyone had this issue? Can anyone shed any light on this? I would be very, very grateful! Cheers J!
