Confusion about when it's my navigation, and when it's ATC

Just out of curiosity, what simulator are you using?
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004.
However, I use the PMDG 737-800 add-on aircraft, which is equipped
like the real thing (practically a different world as compared to the
default 737 in the simulator). I also use the Dreamfleet Baron 58
add-on, which, again, is also in a category of its own. Both are
renowned for their uncompromising realism with respect to the real
aircraft.
I also have a separate joystick and throttle, and rudder pedals.
Anything fancier is hard to justify at this time.
I fly a mixture of VFR and IFR on the Baron, and mostly IFR on the
737. I also use VATSIM, the leading virtual flight network, so that I
can interact with other human pilots and controllers by radio, rather
than just interact with the computer-generated stuff provided by MSFS
when it is in offline mode.
All in all, the realism is striking, and much better than some
detractors like to believe.
