The Asobo nerf hammer has killed offline AI traffic...on the ground at least

Good point. I am not talking about vectoring though. This, funnily enough, I have no issues with as it seems that the sim relies on the pilot to fly the correct vectors to pick up the route.

I am talking about cases where I specifically planned a flight to use X transition on the approach (be it a VOR or waypoint) and the ATC tells me to use Y transition, even if it not correct for the runway I am using (for example if I approach 09L and the ATC gives me a transition that only applies to 09R).

I’d have to look up my recent flights to provide a specific example, but the nav data is sadly not accurate at times, despite lofty claims to the contrary. Or maybe the sim struggles to interpret the data correctly or maybe I am struggling.

But I have been simming for 25 years and had no such problems before MSFS.
