I made a flight today from KDVL (Devils Lake) to KINL (Internation Falls). The field was uncontrolled and I was cleared and told to report to center after passing 2900 ft. This all went well. The flight plan alt was FL290 and my initial alt was given to 6000. I flew at 6000 for about 10 minutes and requested a climb to FL290 and was cleared to FL230. After about 15 minutes I again requested the FL290 and was told that I had to wait for traffic. 10 minutes later I saw the traffic that passed over head at FL280. I understand the reason. Next I was at FL230 and was 30 miles from the airport. I requested a lower alt and was cleared to FL150. From this point on I did not hear back from the controller again. I flew over the airport at 15000 feet and cancelled IFR and finished the flight myself. I made it over 15 miles past the airport before I cancelled.Any thoughts.Otherwise this is a great add-on.Thanks,Steve

you might have missed your crossing restrictionfollow the directions pinned at the top of the forum, see if you can duplicate the problem, and send me the .logthat will tell me what is happening to youjd

when you request an altitude, that RC doesn't grant right away, listen closely, as it says to remind them after (Usually 10 miles). Ask them again then and it will grant the change. Like you, so far, I haven't seen RC remember itself to clear me!

Sorry for the delay in response. You are right. i made the flight again and made my initial call up for center at the assigned alt and from there on the flight went as it should have.Thanks, Steve
