Been away from flightsimming and RC for awhile and having some random trouble now with busting altitudes while climbing. I never had any problems while using RC earlier(around 2003-early 2004).The problem is that i cannot seem to keep a decent climb rate after handed from departure to center,while using for example PSS A340, the controller(center) keeps reminding me (this is the fourth time now!) about the assigned altitude(FL230, 260, 330 depending on the flightplan), which is usually few thousand feet higher than my current altitude while still climbing. I'm climbing usually 1200-1500 ft/min or as fast as i can, but seems not to be steep enough angle? It seems that RC wants me climb much faster than the plane is capable of climbing...are my first waypoints too close to each other?. Some flights are fine, thats why i don't understand where the problem is.I'm creating the flightplans with FS2004 flightplanner, generally using high altitude airways,RC version 3.10 2272. Tried with fs downloaded weather and clear all weather options, altimeter set to 29.92/1013 after FL180. Also noted a previous post about transition altitudes, Trans Lev box in controller info (page 81 in manual) where they are set to 180 for departure and arrival, Trans Lev box for center does not exist as shown in manual?I'd appreciate any help on this.Thank you :)Antti

what is your altitude deviation set for, on the options page?as long as you are climbing in excess of 300fpm, i shouldn't care.jd

jd, it's set to 500. I'll try again making sure that that the climb rate stays in excess of 300ft/min once clered to higher flight levels.Thanks for your help.Regards,Antti
