Ok I was on expert server The guy atc was very good IFATC in all… but I was doing remaining in the pattern so I would lift off and he would say like number 2 traffic to follow is on final… so I would keep on going along to follow and he said please follow instructions 2x and check tutorials on forum using atc instructions!! I felt so bad I’m not mad at him he was doing a great job just wanted to know what I was doing so poorly

#2

Provide more information… what airport? Who was the controller etc

When you say keep on going did you keep flying straight from the runway?

It was Quad City and the controller had weird name like
Flo R Lg
Something like that

His name was super hard like crazy spaced so I looked it up but it wasn’t on here

Sounds to me as if you’ve departed straight out instead of flying a downwind to the runway in order to fly the pattern, that’s probably why.
