When FS9 ATC tells me too? :lol: Tongue :wink:

Just kidding but, that is how I fly, with FS9 default ATC (yes, I DO hate it but...I'm not sold on RC yet).

There are many ways to determine your TOD and, if your only flying modern airliners, the ones which result in a 3* descent angle, like the one clipper759 mentioned, will work fine. If you fly any classic propliners or other aircraft you may have to adjust considerably.
