I programmed in two more flights using the IFR and VFR Options...
Asked ATC to Remain in Pattern
Made no difference...
I think it is a hit and miss thing with FSX but will keep trying...
As soon as you asked to stay in the pattern it is the same thing as flying touch & go's
If you file a VFR flight plan and use some kind of real world weather say from KJAX to KATL and than when you get close to Katl ask for permission for a full stop landing that is when you might get the fly left or right base runway (xx)
but if you ask for a touch & go or to stay in the pattern odds are you will not get those instructions.
Myself I fly mostly IFR flights and use ACTIVE SKY 2016 & ACTIVE SKY CLOUD ART for my weather as it create the actual weather at every way point in my flight plan
Not sure if that is how it is int the real world.
Though the real world weather option in FSX is not the best option at least it is better than using clear skies all the time.
I try to make things as real as I can.
A good challenge is to fly into Jackson Hole Wyoming KJAC using the actual weather at the time and there is a winter storm present you better have your altimeter set correctly are you will find a mountain top real quick.
It is called Jackson Hole for a reason as the airport is in a hole in the mountains and the only clear path is from the west any other direction there are 16,000 foot mountains all around it
I sometimes create the worst weather there and than try my luck.
Warning not for the mild or meek though as you really have to pay attention to your altitude at all times and you will not see the mountains until it is to late.
But this is one of my favorite places to fly to
By the way the runways are only 6,300 ft long.
use a B737 series for a real challenge
