July 18, 200817 yr Does anyone know if the pattern altitude in the runway section of AFCAD is measured in AGL or MSL? I'm trying to redo KCHD, and it has the wrong altitude in the box (it has 1200. It should be 2200 MSL). Or doesn't it even matter?Thanks! - Paul
July 18, 200817 yr It's given in the help file:"The published pattern (circuit) altitude, AGL. AI will fly practice circuits at this altitude." Gerry Howard
July 18, 200817 yr As the other post indicates, it is AGL.Check to see if you are working in feet or meters (the Tools / Options menu).That will obviously make a considerable difference to the numbers displayed.Edit that default figure with caution as it may cause strange behavior of arriving AI aircraft such as "fly-overs" if it is set too high.
July 18, 200817 yr And note that it is only used for VFR AI flights.Hope this helps,--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___ Tom Gibson CalClassic Propliner Page
