Default How often do you have to go around?

Ergo, you should have gone around.


Instructions are flexible in simulation. If I followed all
instructions slavishly, I'd occasionally be stuck for eternity on the
ramp because the simulator doesn't give me the option of asking to
taxi and take off.

That is a completely different scenario than you presented. Sometimes the
sim presents you with a situation where you are supposed to show proper
decision-making, and in the example I responed to, you did just about
everything wrong. That's your prerogative, of course, but IMO such
discussions are more appropriate in a sim group where the attitude and
behavior aren't dangerous and everyone can have a chuckle.
