Logic bug: assigned altitude not cleared with app clearance

Featured Replies

Version: P2ATC v3 0.2.7A

When ATC gives an approach clearance, the UI is not updated to remove the altitude restriction.

The UI should be used like an EFB.  If you get a clearance from the controller, you should use the GPS/FMS/Autopilot in the cockpit to make any changes in your flight.  No need to update the P2A UI with altitude changes.  If you get a clearance for a procedure like a SID or STAR that is not in your flight plan, you can enter that so you can see the new route on the map, but even that is not necessary if you fly the new route using your cockpit equipment.  ATC keeps its own version of the cleared flight plan.

I don't quite understand.

The top trip on the upper right of the UI, not sure what it is called reads:

 CALLSIGN           ALTIMETER   SQUAWK CODE   ASSIGNED CTLR  ASSIGNED ALT

Lynch Air 5019   29.97               5665     Detroit Approach 124.050    8000

 

The next line

ALTIMETER   DESTINATION  APPROACH

29.97              KDTW                 ILS-Z - RW22R - VALLI

 

So if I am cleared for the approach, why does the top line still show an assigned altitude?  Should that box not be cleared?
