I just flew from KATP to KMYR (Tampa to Myrtle Beach) and while getting ready for the approach I got this strange ATC message: (Callsign) Turn Right Heading Zero Eight Zero vectors to the ILS approach for Runway One Eight at MYRTLE BEACH International Turn Right Heading Zero Eight Zero Turn Right Heading Zero Eight Five Turn Right Heading Zero Niner Zero Turn Right Heading Zero Niner Five Turn Right Heading One Zero Zero Turn Left Heading Zero Eight Five Descend to Two Thousand feet Expedite your Turn Left Heading Zero Eight Five Turn Left Heading Zero Six Five Turn Left Heading Zero Seven Zero Turn Left Heading Zero Six Five You are One Zero nautical miles of MYRTLE BEACH International airport. fly heading One Five Five Cleared for ILS to runway One Eight Contact Tower on One Two Eight Point Four Five good afternoon I was almost on the localizer and the GS was above me when this happened. These instructions came one after the other, split seconds apart. They were not needed but even if they were I could not maneuver the airplane fast enough to comply. Has anyone had anything like this happen? 😨

Hi guys, Sorry if this question sounds a bit odd but I am fairly new to FSX and I have hardly acquired 10 - 15 hrs on PMDG 737 - 800 Winglet. Yesterday on my approach to EGNT runway 25, ATC (FSX default) gave me clearance to land, I was 2nd to land after a small aircraft (possibly a Cessna). There was barely 10 - 15 nm distance between my 737 and the Cessna and I was already on VREF Speed with speed breaks up and flaps 30. On final approach I suddenly realised that my 737 was moving a lot faster than the Cessna and I was about crash into it. I immediately took control and lowered my altitude and somehow managed to avoid the collision and landed before the other aircraft! After reaching the minimums ATC advised me to go around but it was too late so I landed before the Cessna regardless. My question is have you ever come across this situation? How a pilot would handle this in real life? Who's fault was it as I couldn't reduce my speed further without losing lift. Thanks in advance for your input. Ronnie
