I was told to go around 5 times with a Cessna once. Five is not much, but it is when you are flying at 120 knots and have to do the whole thing five times.
On a side note, have you guys tried the AI Separation program yet? It's a great utility that keeps control of all the AI. If an AI gets too close to the other one the program will immediately slew one of the planes 90 seconds BEHIND the other one. There will still be go arounds I'm guessing but not as much, and will be much more realistic as that is how real ATC lines up the traffic.
My hat off to all of the controllers in the world.
PS: If I recall correctly, the program will not affect you.
EDIT: I noticed that I never gave the info for those who wanted it.
Name is
Flight Simulator AI Separation I found it over at
avsimHere is the description:
Flight Simulator A.I. traffic separation. With this tool you will be able to separate the traffic inbound to an airport defining a set of paremeters like minimun separation, desired separation, reduced separation zone, reducing the annoying go arounds that the AI engine of FS2004 can cause.
