August 18, 200223 yr I seem to be having a problem with RC and descent altitude. This is what happens....I'm at cruise FL350, centre tells me d/m FL230 I hear my pilot acknowledge and I am dialing in the new altitude and setting my descent rate. Within 5-10 seconds I'm getting the controller telling me to check my altitude that I am not at my assigned altitude. Seems RC is not giving me enough time to even begin my descent before the controller jumps on me.I'm using FS2K2, RC2.2, FSMETEO, PIC767.Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
August 18, 200223 yr Commercial Member couple of thoughts.are you flying at 2x or 4x? if so, don't in these sensitive little areasi'm assuming your altimeter is set for 29.92 when you are 350, and not local pressure.what is your altitude deviation set for? JD Read my blog

Yep set for 29.92 standard>>what is your altitude deviation set for? You got me here... Where would I find this?

August 19, 200223 yr Commercial Member the other possibility, is that if there is a lot of chatter playing, then the instructions to descend and maintain is "queued" up behind the chatter, but the timer to see if you are descending yet is started, and by the time the chatter ends, and you get the instructions, you're already too latetry reducing the chatter frequencylucky this is fixed in v3 ;-) JD Read my blog
August 19, 200223 yr >try reducing the chatter frequency I'll give that a try! Thanks!>lucky this is fixed in v3 ;-) I've only been using RC for a short time and I'm already hooked. Like a lot of other people I'm looking forward to ver 3.One quick question about Ver 3... Will it be compatible with the AI aircraft? So that traffic alerts will reflect the actual AI aircraft? Will RC3 control the AI aircraft? And will we here those calls as "chatter"?Ok more than one quick question. Sorry... :-)
August 19, 200223 yr >try reducing the chatter frequency >Sorry jd, but where is the setting for the chatter frequency located?
August 19, 200223 yr Commercial Member oops, sorry. v3 on the mind.try turning chatter off, and see if the problem goes away. JD Read my blog
