Why does my ATC give descent instruction so late?

,

While it may be “possible” to ask, the Vectors are typically INCORRECT, with incorrect heading to the next waypoint, and the next waypoint identified incorrectly.

This feature could never have been tested, as it is so clearly incorrect, and any evaluation of the code associated with this should obviously show that the waypoint & heading information is never being updated, since the original ATC clearance was give,-- unless first a new clearance is requested, a process that does update the next waypoint & heading !! (So update code is there, just not being called when it should be )

Maybe its about time MS realized that Asobo are not up to creating a realistic ATC system, because of lack of knowledge, and lack of experienced resources, and do what they did with Garmin Systems (ie WT ) , and allow a 1st party developer with those proven skills, to take over the development of the MSFS ATC system.

I see little indication that if thing continue in the current direction,m the ATC in MSFS 2024 will be little different to what it is now in 2020.

OR, maybe MSFS is being RW Realistic, and also suffering from a lack of experienced ATC … and hiring potential controllers straight out of school, and training them ON THE JOB !! Wonder how that will work out in 2024 / 2025 !!

"So, Captain Bones, you think we might get ATC vectors on this flight ? "
