It has been issue multipe times in the “What did you do in MSFS today?” topic that conversations about flying tend to go off-topic causing flags and deletions. I’d like to dedicate this topic for just such discussions in order to have somewhere to do so, while keeping that thread clean.

What did I do in MSFS today? I tried MSFS2024 again - but realising the ATC sounded drunk, I went back to MSFS2020!

Yeah they are still having issues with the registration number on this and the TBM. If you’re updated to the recent version released this week, there is now a 2024 installer and an option in the EFB to completely turn the dynamic registration off so you don’t have the rectangle. If the livery itself…

The 2024 ATC isn’t great (which is why I use an outside app), but personally, I think 2020 is worse. For almost every flight in 2020 for me, default ATC would continually assign non-sensical flight levels, or vector me into a mountain.

Yes, I agree - I usually use BATC, but wanted to do a VFR in a Cessna. Can’t wait for them BATC to provide for GA, but still using MSFS ATC for that. MSFS2020 ATC isn’t as bad as 2024, which sounds as if all controllers have been at an all night party.

Where are you flying in 2024? I’ve never heard these drunk ATCs, sounds like fun :joy: Although yes I understand the frustration.

Basically no flying today because I kept going to fs2020 and fs2024 through both fleets trying to settle on flying an aircraft and didn’t end up flying anything the whole day

I’ve had days like that - trying to figure out what to fly until you look at the clock and then realize the only place you’re going to fly is to bed!

Today I tried two missions with PC-24 hoping to get some fast flying in, compared to my habitual C172 missions. Big Mistake! Got my reputation knocked down from nearly S all the way down to C+. Problems: When I got near to destination they didn’t want me to descend. I wanted to complete the fl…

I have not done career in many months, but the important thing to do was to cancel IFR as soon as possible.

Yup, as toughbull said. Before reaching transition altitude I always cancel IFR and don’t talk to them again until lining up on final to land and I have to contact tower or make calls for untowered airports.
