Hi Oliver,I have the same problem, worked fine prior SB1b. Default Transition Altitude in New Zealand is 13000 but this always turns back ot 18000 even after being saved in the FMC. This has to be a bug.

Have you saved it in the FMC's Equipment Second page ?Regards,Richard PortierEdit : Indeed it's saved in the Default TA Equipment page but it's not copied/saved in the Perf Init page (always 18000)

The Transition Altitude does NOT get saved with Panel State files.Ryan confirmed that a few weeks ago. (10th November)*******************************************************************************************Here's the caveat we forgot to mention for this:It does not work if you're loading from a panel state. A panel state load is always going to use the defaults - there's a technical reason within the code for it and it can't be changed.If you load from free flight it should always work.Ryan Maziarz***************************************************************************************************Fred.

Fred sure your not on the pmdg Pay roll at all by any chance ? :( and all your replies have been helping to solve the ops problems well done

No, but I would love to be one of their beta testers though !I enjoy helping people if I can. One of the great things about all this.Fred.

Just to let you know, i have the same problem.In the Equipment Page its saved, but when you set up a flight in the FMC the default TA of 18000 appears.Greetings,Sebastian Beier

Excellent - I can put it to rest in my head now ;)Mas

What I do is: I prepare the panel state I want to save. Then I load a routeplan, change the trans alt and descent alt in that plan from 18000 ft to whatever alt I want (6000 ft for ex), and then save the panel state with the route included. It will remember your trans alt when reloading. Loading another route won't reset it to 18000 ft. Works for me.Jos Denis

ahh... I might do that ;) Thx for the tip!Mas
