March 20, 20224 yr Noticed today using 2.6.3.0 beta that ATC improperly "trusts" the aircraft altitude in MSFS even when it is wrong. I had missed pulling the STD knob on climb and was about 300ft lower than my assigned altitude. I did not receive a correction from ATC until I pulled STD Baro. Would it be possible to implement that when Ind Alt MSL is >FL180 P2A assumes youre STD? Ideally this would be able to be automated to use the actual transition level for the airspace, but I'm not sure navigraph data stores that information and whether importing my Navigraph data offers that datapoint to P2A? Either way, FL180 would be a safe "hardcoded" option.
March 20, 20224 yr Commercial Member FL180 is safe in the US and Canada, but much of the planet outside of that has transition altitudes all over t he place, even within the same country. Fortunately, P2A uses the local transition altitudes. I will check to be sure P2A uses the aircraft actual altitude instead of the indicated altitude when looking for "off assigned altitude". Dave

Good to hear that P2A can derive this information. 17 minutes ago, Dave-Pilot2ATC said: FL180 is safe in the US and Canada, but much of the planet outside of that has transition altitudes all over t he place, even within the same country.

Awesome! Thanks Dave. Liking P2A so far...so much better than default ATC in MSFS.
