Help - How can we change the altitude during flight?

[SidekickUBT 11]

All,

In FSX, this feature was so easy. We would click on the map and change the altitude. I usually did this when slewing around a city at 3,000 feet. I'm unable to find this feature after 48 hours.

Thanks in advance.

There's no way to teleport via a map like in FSX. Slew is still there though, and you can quickly change altitude with that.

Bummer...major miss Microsoft.

Community,

Has anyone been able to figure this out?

I'm wondering if there's a utility out there to help with this problem.

What about just grabbing your yoke an throttle and flying to the desired altitude like in the real world?

[SidekickUBT 11]

Good point. Sometimes I'll stall in the air and need some 'help' to get the plane back up at a reasonable altitude.

Tim, the reason you're stalling is too much back pressure is being applied on the yoke/joystick. Check the best rate of climb for the aircraft you fly and trim for the indicated speed in the climb phase. As an example, the 152 has a best rate of climb of around 67 knots indicated airspeed.

The important thing is to never let your airspeed approach stall speeds.

Just press Y and Slew up your lost altitude.
