Question about elevation profile

Featured Replies

Hi, I am using version 2.8.8, which seems to be the latest. I am relatively new to this software. I watched some tutorials and I realized that my elevation profile looks different to the ones I watched, and I cannot find the way to change it.

As you can see in the first image the flight plan shows a climb and decent paths, while in the second, the whole path is flat on the top. I'd like to have the former option. How do I do that?

Thanks

If you do not see a red error message about flight plan errors you can enable in LNM menu "View" -> "Show top of climb and top of descent". This is normally on per default.

Hi Alex,

thank you for your response. That option is ticked in the software. Today I made another flight plan and this time the elevation profile was shown correctly. Can that have something to do with aircraft profiles? Do you need to have a proper profile for the flight plan to show the way I want it to?

Default profile mimics a Cessna and should show a profile.

If you see red errors in the flight plan table footer: Hover the mouse above. It will tell you why the profile could not be calculated.
Error messages which can be a reason why the profile is flat: https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/2.8/en/FLIGHTPLAN.html#error-messages-footer

Seems that the problem was with the correct cruise altitude settings.

Thank you for your assistance :biggrin:
