FSX ATC gets it wrong lots of times. It's not uncommon to be overtaken by a heavy when on finals, be flown into a mountain, given ludicrous approaches of 30 or 40 miles.

FS9 once did that to me. I think on approach to Malaga from Madrid, again it was after a G/A

I did a flight from KSAN (Lindberg field, San Diego) to KASE (Aspen-Pitkin county/Sardy field Colorado) on 737-800 using the standard IFR flight plan offered by FSX. I did a vectored visual approach to runway 15 but ended up high on final so I did a go- around. Followed the instructions (to maintain 9000') and flew into a mountain.
Does this happen often? I am wondering how the software determines the ATC instructions, because there must be an MSA linked to the scenery, on the real plate it is given as 15700' in that sector.
