Microsoft's ATC is notoriously bad in mountainous terrain. Unfortunately, there
are no good solutions from my experience. I suggest finding two things which
are the elevation of the airport and the minimum safe altitude. The general
rule I use in those areas is to stay at minimum 2000ft above the deck. In other
words, if the airport is at 5000ft, I want to be no less than 7000ft on the
approach. The next video I upload of flying will demonstrate this.

I also forgot to mention. Never take speed control of the aircraft from
Michel at any point of the flight unless you know what you're doing, an
online ATC instructs you to do that, or someone tells you to do that in a
come fly with me sessions (I remember Robert or Clive used to do that
sometimes)
If you change the speed manually, or tell michel to change the virticle rate
of climb or descend You'll take the speed control from her and at this point
You will have to fly by chart or someone else guiding you.

Hi there
MCE will not help you at all in regards to this.
Usually, If you find the pdf file of the chart of your airport, There is a
safe minimum altitude stated. But in regards to approaches, Microsoft ATC
95% of the time will guide you through the approach safely. All you have to
do is fly IFR, and do exactly as the ATC states.
If for whatever reason, Microsoft ATC is giving you wrong vectors, (Which
I think has happened to me only once or twice of all the flights I had),
You have to either try radar contact 4, some other ATC software, or
alternatively an online controller in VATSIM or IVAO network.
Honestly, I think that you should try this again, closely follow the
procedures, checklists and microsoft ATC's instructions in an IFR flight.
and You will be fine.

Hey,
It was IYP. I don’t know what might help aside from reading the visual
charts, which we obviously can’t, or taking a guess at a safe altitude
above any obstacles. I guess I was asking for it flying in the Cascades,
but I’d hope there’s something better we can do.

Were you using IYP or MCE? Maybe MCE may help in this instance?

Hi All,
I wonder if there’s any way to fly safely in mountainous areas? I’ve
crashed on the way to KESW, Easton State Airport, a couple times, and
wondered if there was anything I could do differently.
I was trying both a VFR and IFR flight. I made it farther in the IFR,
but at one point I think ATC may have misvectored me. THe flight in
question is from WN53 to KESW.
ANy thoughts appreciated.
Thanks,
