using air control for landing

Question

when using fms for the flight and air control for start and landing sometimes it works wel but also air control let me fly far beyond the arrival airport. Does anyone has this problem too and how can i fly a complete flight with fms and air control?

Comments

Thanks. It is realy going better now. Your help was good.

When you say for beyond, are we saying it's taking you greater then 75nm or is it around 20-40nm? It's normal, especially when flying a vectors-based approach for ATC to send you out 30nm away before bringing you back in. If you are on the opposite side of the airport from the active runway it can take you even further while directing you around the airport. In a commercial plane this doesn't matter as much since you are usually flying around 250kts but in a GA aircraft it can add 30-45 minutes to your flight.

Thanks. As far as i can hear other aircrafts are having the right command of ATC. I will try further to look for a solution.

anyway, how can i update ATC flows and navdata files. I bought xplane 11 about one month ago

The aircraft wouldn't change the ATC commands. At least not enough for the type of events your experiencing. ATC flows are updated with WED and updated navdata files. You can download WED from the X-Plane web site. If you want to update the navdata files you'll have to subscribe to navigraph. Navdata is not provided by the FAA to normal civilians (only licensed pilots and military can get them from the FAA) but navigraph has been able to provide semi-updated navdata files by reconstructing them from open-source information available on the internet and elsewhere to provide a close as possible relication of the FAA navdata.

Thanks. With your help it is going better anyway.

Happy flying!
