Default sim software

Do the people playing ATC do a good job of using proper ATC procedures?

MS Flight Sim 2004 with the online add-ons such as Sqwak box. This
lets you fly and talk to real life controllers. I've used it to
practice IFR... you have to file a flight plan, then call for your
clearances, etc... sometimes ATC isn't online... but many evenings ATC
is online in once place or another....

The other night i had grnd, tower, departure, centre and then tower on
arrival.... sometimes you'll not get anything.

Good luck!

I'd love some feedback and recommendations.
