short tempered altitude warnings

[misgav 2]

Sometimes after being told to climb to a higher FL, the RC4 controller has a short fuse. If I don't start climbing right away, I get a 'your assigned altitude is..blah blah' warning. Hey! Give me a chance. It takes several seconds to click on the altitude counter and another few to get the VSR counter right. Then a few seconds to build up power to begin the climb.EytanLLHA

is the co pilot on comms? if so, do the comms yourself. he's going to acknowledge the climb, and you're supposed to be climbingis auto-reply on? if so, turn it off. acknowledge the clearance when you are ready to climb. in v5 we will make adjustments so that the co-pilot and autoreply don't start the timer right away when they ackjd
