strange atc issue started today.

[Moria15 950]

Hi guys...

ok  givens... using default ATC..   4 mods installed, all airports, all from commercial devs..  no mods for garmin or anything else.  flying in the UK..  have definately only had this problem today, not just since 1.9.3..  no files needing update according to content manager..   Today being 6th October.

upto today...   set up ifr flight in sim planner...  select low altitude airways..  set altitude in the nav section..  go fly...   airport atc gives me ifr clearance instructions to altitude ( as set in sim prior to flight) prior to takeoff..  hands me over to either London or manchester depending on area...  flight continues until atc hands me off to destination airport..  destination airport clears me and brings me in...   what I would expect.

today..   set up ifr flight in sim planner...  select low altitude airways..  set altitude in the nav section..  go fly...   airport atc gives me ifr clearance instructions to altitude ( as set in sim prior to flight) prior to takeoff..  hands me over to either London or Manchester depending on area...  London or Manchester go batword not allowed crazy demanding increases in altitude to a level higher than the aircraft can fly.     If I cancel IFR and go back to VFR..  no issues with flight following, but I did try to re-establish the ifr flightplan on one flight, 10NM out of the destination..  got transferred to London and was immediately told to climb to 11.000 in a cessna.

Anyone else seen anything similar?

Regards

Yes, did a small ifr flight with low altitude airways with 6000 ft selected in navlog page, in cruise at 6000 ft atc instructed me to climb to 14000.

Yeah, I have been having the same problem here.

That's not new today. I posted about something similar happening last Saturday.

Are you physically setting the altitude in navlog screen after  choosing low altitude airways.  The sim will set its own value if you don't and that is what ATC will ultimately direct you to.

Example, by default if I don't change it, high altitude airway flights seem to always default to  FL390 unless I set it to something else before hitting the FLY  button.
