Maybe a noob question, but still...

 

I tried several landing approaches including night/ day, bad weather, stormy situation.

 

Always I am cleared for visual!!!! What is this? If I cant see the runway until I am almost touching it how can ATC clear me for visual? Am I missing something?

 

Next, when I am the only plane landing on an airport, no prob, I always get the clearance. But in MP, my buddy and I approaching quite at the same time, I do not have the feeling that ATC really cares.

What is happening is, that we both contact for "inbound", well and then we both turn towards the runway. Short before, the first gets the clearance for landing, and nothing is said to the second one. Only if too close or upon calling ATC for permission, the second one is told to orbit.

 

I do not have the feeling that this is a guided entry for landing. What is happening if -assume - 20 planes approach the same airport? How is ATC handling that and is the player informed about which holding pattern to perform or which landing number he has? Does ATC then give vectors or any is anyhow sorting the traffic???

 

Maybe someone could clear this up for me?

ATC is very basic in implementation. Don't expect too much. And there are problems in MP, so best thing is to coordinate on Common. In IMC, just go by the instruments and get on the ground. More in depth ATC is on the to-do list, but as far as I know is not a priority.
