So Iām like āIām bored I want to play IFā so I open the app and see that SoCal has a lot of traffic at the moment. (Not that thatās rare)
So I decided to fly the Frontier a318 because FDS just updated the call sign. So I choose to start at KSNA, because their was an active ATC and also because that is an airport thatās never really populated. So I take off and head to KSAN. (My mistake). After I takeoff Iām told to contact Departure. Then Iām out of Departureās airspace and they tell me to contact San Diego Center. (Good coverage) then I request my approach to RWY 27 at KSAN and Iām vectored in behind several other people. They all land, but when itās my turn a KLM 747 rolls onto the RWY while Iām on a 5nm final. I started making S-Turns to maintain seperartion. Iām thinking in my head, āwhy would ATC clear him to line up and wait?ā But that ATC didnāt. So he just sat on the runway and I had to go-around. The ATC told him to check the help pages repeatedly after every direction given, but the pilot ignored him. So I reported him. Then I turn base again and the Tower ATC switched and is someone new. Then again Iām on final, the people ahead of me landed and then the ATC tells him to line up and wait after he clears me to land and while the 1,000 feet call out is said. This is my exact face āšā then I said āFrontier Flight 13 is on Finalā he clears him for an immediate takeoff but it was to late, so I went around againā¦ (Sighs) Im on right downwind and Iām about to land again. (There is really no point for this next explanation, you probably already know what happens) So itās still the same ATC and he clears me to land. I told him I was on final twice. But you know what he doesā¦ He clears a 757 for takeoff as I hear the 500 call out. š”š¤ then I go around again but I couldnāt take it, I closed IF and wait straight to the forums. I was going to divert but the closest suitable airport was KSNA. So their was basically no point to start my flight to begin with. But if IF simulated fuel burn and wake turbulence I wouldāve been screwed.
LOL, I felt like this was plannedš.
Feedback requested if you have an idea on what I couldāve done.
And do you think this was planned?š

Was this ATC Playground? If it was, that would explain poor players.
Plus Cameron, the ATCās name was Deathstroke š
