MSFS2020 Unrealistic Flight Levels

Featured Replies

Hello There

Have you observed ATC calling for Generic climb from Flt680, Flt850 and even Flt940.

I was flying PMDG 737-8 from ORD to PHL

First, I thought these may be military aircrafts but then there are too many

With default ATC, you are lucky you don't get assigned an orbit with the space station. 

 

 

 

 

Many oddities still lurking around. Today over Lake Erie at FL400 I observed two aircraft way down below me, literally at a level appearing to be near the surface of Lake Erie, both leaving long contrails. They are visible in this screen shot.  Surface temp at Erie (KERI) was 10°C, well above freezing.  I have seen that before.  And no, they were not boats leaving 5 mile long wakes.  They were moving way to fast to be boats.
