Maintain situational and spatial awareness at all times for those rare occasion that ATC isn’t aware of the mountains.
Don’t use high altitude airways when creating a flight plan for your 172. Try to avoid using STARS that end with “Vectors” without adding the continuity to the the FAF manually. As long as you have a well designed flight plan using altitudes appropriate to your aircraft and a planned approach that is weather and airport appropriate as well, the sim ATC will usually get you on the ground uneventfully. What you describe is very close to real world ATC (incompetent, is maybe only descriptive of the sim ATC, but not always ). The problem with stock ATC is that it’s not flexible, extremely basic and most of the time incompetent Just don’t let the occasional error tick you off - continue to follow your flight plan and proper procedures. The ATC interchange (though faulty in many cases) still allows for a decent amount of immersion. If I’ve canceled for any of these reasons, I request IFR reinstatement as I approach my destination.If flight following isn’t available (it comes and goes as an option) I simply cancel IFR.If available, I switch to Flight Following which pretty much continues the IFR experience but without improper altitude assignments.If ATC continues to harp on me to change to the wrong altitude, I cancel IFR but continue to fly the IFR plan.When I am given an inappropriate runway I ignore it and use the most appropriate.When I am given an inappropriate altitude, I ignore it and fly the proper one.I don’t find this to be an issue, if you follow your flight plan and fly the approach properly according to the charts. Yes, the default ATC will sometimes go a little crazy and give you inappropriate runways, altitudes, etc. Though I don’t fly for a VA, I use the built-in ATC all the time to fly IFR.
