I just hope that whatever else MS are planning for FSX they do womething about the traffic and the way ATC interacts with it and us.

I recently flew from a local airport in the UK to one in the north of England and was given clearance to land, I was actually in a helicopter which FS9 ATC just doesn't even consider, and was about 500' AGL when I was ordered to go-around just because an aircraft given take-off clearance about 5 mins before was still sitting on the runway just starting to roll.

I a real world scenario I would have been cleared to hover-land on or about the threshold allowing outbound traffic to clear the runway and then I would have been approved a hover-taxi to the helipad.

SO please FSX, remember you put heli's into flight sim and teach it how to interact with them.

Well its more than that, they make other boo boos, like wanting u to see and avoid other traffic in IMC, or stacking about 10 planes on top of each other on final. My opinion is making ACT more realistic becuase the scenery looks awesome to me and everything else in general does too. It would be cool if they set speed ristrictions or just vectored you and other aircraft so that there would be the legal distance between. Holding patterns or just whatever would improve ATC would be awesome, not that it isnt awesome already.
