The Director is of course correct, however in real life during a visual approach, ATC tend pass traffic information "there's a Cherokee orbiting on a 2nm right base", by which (s)he's saying don't cut in too tight chummy, whereas during a normal radar vectored approach, controllers tend to just give you a vector to steer to avoid a conflict. Ultimately, if you don't take the hint, they will give you an avoiding vector having already been cleared a visual approach.
