PMDG 777-200ER performance with VATSIM + GSX?

Had some issues with Fenix A320 when flying on VATSIM, persistent stuttering on taxi, takeoff and approach.

Really want to buy PMDG 777 but hesitant due to the price tag and previous experience with its similar fidelity Airbus counterpart.

Can anyone shed any light?

Listening to ATC in UK?

I’m aware it’s illegal but not enforced as such. Only looking to listen into the different frequencies as an aviation enthusiast, obviously not transmit.

I live about 21 miles as the crow flies from a major airport in the UK. So cautious it’s quite far away.

What equipment can I get that’s not extortionate (ideally less than £100 total? to enable me to listen into the different ATC frequencies?

TIA

Correct procedure when vacating the runway?

Sorry if been answered before. You complete your landing, vacate the runway, and tower hands you off to ground.

I usually have ground charts/live map on Navigraph to help me taxi to stand, but, I need a few seconds to clean up the aircraft (flaps, spoilers, lights etc) and find my bearings, where I am, and get ready to write down stand number and taxi route.

But it feels awkward just vacating and remaining stationary? Not 100% sure what correct procedure is but I try to cross the hold short line at least but sometimes it can leave you on an active taxiway, all whilst juggling instructions from ATC.

Any advice to a newbie <50 hours appreciated!
