Ray and Ron ~~~ thanks both for your input on this issue. Time is a prescious commodity and I appreciate your generosity with yours

 

I am going to change my FSX start-up to a default Cessna with "no weather",  STD pressure and will load ASN afterwards.

 

Ray ~~~ my STD pressure buttons measured the correct 1013.2 using the offset/16 so it is working correctly.

 

I will report back up after this next round of checks and hopefully this topic can then be "resolved".

 

Thanks again.

Good. Then your only objective is to ensure you are at the correct FL 40 miles from the arrival airport. Without a CDU that will be difficult but not impossible. Look forward to hearing how you get on.

Good morning Ray,

 

I think that we can out this one to bed now

 

Changed my start-up to the default Cessna with "no weather"...this gives me a STD 1013.2 at 680' when at LeedsBfd.

I then relocated to LEAL and then changed aircraft to the POSKY 737-700 - still 1013.2 at 140' - correct for LEAL...

After loading the fltpln ASN kicks in and the STD pressure immediately changed to 1039mb / 30.68" but still at 140'...

 

Made the flight with RC and everything just went ticketyboo - being very careful to monitor pressure using the FSUIPC/16 figure (it maintained 16211 right down to final FL120) - at 39.8 DME I received the approach details :rolleyes:

 

So success again...

 

Thanks again for your time.

Hi Ken,

 

Glad the problem is sorted. I had the problem on approach to Athens yesterday believe it or not. Using the same procedure as I have for hundreds of flight I'm told I missed my crossing restriction! Probably won't happen again but it shows it can occasionally happen even to a RC team member!
