April 23, 20233 yr No matter what I do after loading fpl from simbrief the cruise altitude is set at FL116. It should be for this flight FL380. I cant even manually change it, can change everything else like des and GS etc but not cruise. Never had this issue before. Currently using latest beta but did revert back to stable latest version and doing the same. Edited April 23, 20233 yr by Seth2413
April 24, 20233 yr Commercial Member FL 116 is a very strange altitude. Normally the problem that prevents a desired altitude from being entered is Airway altitude restrictions or a mismatch of odd/even altitudes for Bearing Based Altitudes. Both of these can be turned off in Config. But FL116, or 11,600 ft, is not an altitude that P2A would assign. Please Save the flight plan in question to a .vbf file and email to me so I can have a look. Dave
April 24, 20233 yr Commercial Member Just thought of what might be the problem. FL 116 is probably in Meters. Make sure your Units type setting on the ATC Settings tab of Config is set to US or Metric_Feet and not Metric. Metric will express altitudes in Meters. Dave
April 24, 20233 yr Author Thanks again Dave. That was the issue. I do feel a bit silly I didnt pick that up actually. I did change the setting to metric by mistake for a GA in NZ. I di often change that setting when flying between US and europe/oceania to get correct pressure language from ATC -Hpa etc. Cheers.
