• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Too busy building planes to fly! Well, I do fly while testing, good thing you can turn off crash detection...
 
If I have a bit of time I will try and make a attempt at following procedures but time is a very scarce beast so most times I just jump in and make the most of flying
 
I fly the aircraft by the book ~ it's part of the immersion for me. ATC procedures not as much ~ mainly because I'm not that familiar with them and I usually fly smaller aircraft on short hops or practice circuits. However, I do use FSX's built in ATC when I'm doing a longer flight.

While the ATC in FSX isn't bad, it's far from perfect. The procedures are okay, but the constant badgering doesn't exist in the real world (handing you off every two minutes, telling you you're too low or too high, telling you to "expedite your climb").

Wish the ATC had a "memory", then the system wouldn't do that.

If you're trying to learn the procedures though, the ATC system isn't bad.....
