January 2, 200521 yr Hi friends,can you please tell me if there is an option to set TA at different values? Can't find anything in option tab.Thanks in advance for helpingLuigi ;-)
January 2, 200521 yr and don't make the mistake I made....I entered the level for Australia as 11000 and guess what - I never got any respite from the controller telling me the QNH. When I entered 110 - Bingo .... DUH!!!!Andy b Andy Brockbank
January 2, 200521 yr Luigi,Although the option to use different Transition Altitudes is availabel in RC3, the program handles them incorrectly on 2 counts - 1, it requires the T A to be input in flight level format and 2, it calculates an incorrect Transition Level from this input.There is, however, a simple workaround. Take the published TA, add 1000 then convert to flight level format before input. For example:Published Transition Altitude = 5000ftAdd 1000 = 6000Convert to flight level format = 60What you're actually doing is calculating your own Transition Level and so, in the above example, by inputting 60 on the Controller Info page, RC will use altitudes up to and including 5000ft and flight levels above that. This workaround wouldn't be any use in the real world with a QNH below 1013.2 but it works just fine in Flight Sim/RC.Andy,Well done for spotting the input format error in RC but to get it to handle a TA of 11000ft correctly, you need to input '120'. This will give you altitudes up to and including 11000ft and flight levels above that.Pete
January 2, 200521 yr Now that Pete has sorted me out (thanks Pete :-) ) at least our meeting in the skies will be at a safe distance.RegardsAndy b Andy Brockbank
