Yes, some of these questions I can't answer but yes I do know about being vectored and a need for the operation in the flight plan this could help resolve some of the issues maybe or maybe not only a real pilot can give the answer.And right now I do not think you are vectored except on a GA for a missed approached on the Flight plan side of X-Life, now on the flight plan side of the aircraft you should be able to program in a vector where you want to on the aircraft you are talking about you just put the way points into the flight plan and the MCDU...

Hi Brian,
thanks for your feedback. But I guess, you didn't get the point, I was talking of, could it be? The A330, A320, A340, I'm sitting in has a MCDU and FMC and FMGS, which our Dispatchers are feeding every day. And we in the cockpit are doing some correctements. But, as you maybe know, there was a time before all this GPS-things. And that happened in the 727 and 737-200 (as I remember this not really an GA But still flying for NASA (727), and some state-machines (727, 732). Maybe you know them better than me, and can show me, how to feed in a plane with VOR and no GPS, no FMC, no MCDU, how to insert in the Heading the SIDs and STARs Only thing would be CIVA. But better for you, to take place in the Jumpseat on a real plane, and watch an approach on KLAX, KDFW, KJFK,... . Then talk to me again, if the PF was flying the complete STAR, or if he was suddenly vectored, because of traffic, shortcuts, weather, and so on.
There's a huge difference between gaming and simming and real-life.Cheers
ThomasClearly, vectoring from ATC would be ideal and most realistic. Pilots I talked to say that they practically never fly a complete route for the exact reasons Thomas pointed out. However, I am not sure that currently an AI ATC is able to do that correctly without frying our systems, or even to pick the correct STAR in some cases. Therefore, I suggested to go back from AI to HI and use our own heads to choose the correct STAR in case the AI fails to do so. Also, I believe that poses a smaller programming challenge but maybe @JAR can weigh in here as well.
PS: I think Brian meant GA = "Go Around" and not "General Aircraft"...
Good day,
I am thinking not the IA aircraft but the aircraft that we are flying have this capability for this maneuver it really does not make sense to have the IA aircraft do this since, the IA aircraft have code written behind the Flight path they already fly, meaning they fly a set path for any given simulation I would say using the xml file.
Where as, the aircraft we fly can be made to fly the flight plan the we the pilot want to fly and therefore, we can be vectored out to a point and brought back to land.
Now, we need real pilot input for this to be set-up right no other way around it.
Thank-you for the input and
Happy flying,
