Being Rejected?

[Lukemeister 6]

Hi guys,

Why is it when I try to fly to Frankfurt Main, approximately 50 NM out, ATC vectors me in the opposite direction of the airport, effectively turning me back to where I was going, then forgets about me? I don't like it, it gets lonely in them there clouds :great:

Thanks!

I don't know Luke, I don't really fly tube-liners, what aircraft aer you flying? Are you using any ATC programs? Someone here maybe able to help.

Cheers

Hiya Mut!

I'm flying the Wilco A319, using Radar Contact and the Aerosoft (?) Frankfurt scenery.

Just tried a flight from Gatwick to Barajas tonight, and all went fine. I wonder why this only happens at Frankfurt?

Cheers!

Luke,

 

It sounds like RC is re-directing you. It may be sending you to a transition point for a STAR, though that seems kind of radical. Have you followed it long enough to see where it's sending you? Have you looked at the STARS (if any exist) for the airport?

 

You might lodge a question at the RC Support Forum on AVSIM. JD is pretty good with prompt answers and generally knows what he's talking about.

Hiya John,

I have carried on and speeded up FS9 to see where he sends me. The answer is, the opposite direction of where I came, and once i'm on that heading, the controller completely forgets out me. It's rather frustrating after what I consider a long FS flight. I'll pop a question on the RC forums.

Cheers Mut & John.
