Something to sort out here.

My flight was from LIRQ Peretola to LDZA Pleso. It was ineteresting because somewhere along the way I was going from Photoscenery for Italy to default Croatia.

The flight plan altitude was supposed to get me up to 9000'. However, the controllers insisted I fly at 3000'. The result was ineveitable really and at on point I actually touched the ground.

I didn't and couldn't get any approach instructions, so I used default P3D to obtain landing instructiuons to ILS 05. Landed safely, and once off the runway PF3 actioned the route to parking but not really very effectively.

Then the PF3 controllers, continued to give me speed and altitude instructions as if I was still in the air!

Talk about a performance! Mind you, I've no doubt you'll discover it was pilot error!

Log attached.

You did not request take-off clearance after reaching the holding point.
You were at VCP mode #2, so your VCP should do it automatically, but if he does not, you can disable TGS using hotkey #1, tune to Tower and use hotkey 6 to request this clearance.

In real life, you would be in a heap of trouble with the FAA if you did that.

He's in a lot of trouble anyway! I've just sent his wife a note to let her know about his dangerous antics!

Not to mention his female copilot!

Yes, very funny. But. Why didn't they keep quiet instead of giving me altitude instructions and finally, TGS providing me with the taxiing route when I was finally back on the ground?

Do you think that perhaps I managed to confuse the program?

Oh, and I'm considering giving my girl the sack and going back to doing it myself. I can't be doing with someone who forgets to get me permission to 'Take Orff' as she pronounces it. She's on a final warning at the moment!

Of course
