Hi Ian,
If you mean will it give take off clearance at the departure airport, landing clearance at the destination and leave you in peace to do whatever you want by way of route and altitude in between, the answer is no, it will expect to control the flight in between the airports too. I've never tried it but I guess there could be some fiddles or workarounds using non-towered airports closer than 80nm apart to get close to this but that's all it would be - fiddles and workarounds which would, I think, just prevent the program from doing its "job" (i.e. providing a full
control service for IFR flights) properly.
One thing that does strike me is that although there is a huge r/w difference between IFR and VFR, this doesnt really have much significance in Flight Sim. So, if anyone reading this is wondering if RC is for them, here are a couple of points to consider:
If you like to fly from A to B without any real idea of the route you're going to follow and just meander around enjoying the scenery until you eventually get to where you're going, then (this version of) RC is definitely not for you.
If you like to fly from A to be B using a predetermined ( i.e. a flight planned) route with at least one waypoint between A and B - as you would, for example, when flying for a VA

- then RC will add significantly to the experience.
I'd better stop there before I get into trouble for turning the forum into a billboard for Radar Contact.
