Hi there,
I am going to close this because this duplicates a few topics out there. You may wish to vote for some or all of these:

Not accents but the actual wording.

There is a big phraseology bug report topic

ATC Incorrect Phraseology

Hello. I’m an airline pilot, just bought the game, and did a quick VFR flight: Correct ATC interaction for flight following: You: “[who you’re talking to] [your call sign] [location and altitude] request flight following” ATC: “[call sign] radar contact [location] squawk [ code] ident, [altimeter setting]” You: “[your call sign] squawk [code], ident, [altimeter setting]” This format is important because it gives ATC everything they need while minimally jamming up the radio.
