On my last two flights with RC, shortly after takeoff, I've been told to go on a heading that does not get me on my flight plan. I thought maybe it was just vectoring for traffic, but after several minutes of going the wrong way, I decided to request a direct to to get me back on track. However, when I Press "9" and then "1", I get something like the following:1-< 2>2474m/02-< 3>2461m/03-< 4>2458m/04-< 5>2457m/05-< 6>2451m/0Prev-8 Main-0 Next-9I've used the direct-to option before, but this has happened on my last 2 flights. I loaded the correct flight plan in RC and received clearance to my destination airport.Anyone know why I'm being told to go on what appears to be the wrong heading after departure and then why my waypoints are showing up in the list?FS9ASAWinXP, SP3RC v4.3.3845Thanks!Stacey

How much slop is normal for the Centurion's altitude hold. I adjusted the pitch control to 0 at 12,000 feet and it slowly (2-3 feet/min) continued a descent to around 11,936ft. It then began a very slow climb back up towards 12,000. Is this normal? This is my first time using this specific autopilot and want to be sure I understand what "normal" is. I'm a bit nervous to walk away during a flight as I'm not sure if it is going to continue an unwanted, slow climb or descent.Thanks!StaceyFS9 + SPWinXP + SP3

Yes, you're correct. It was the FS9 Centurion.There could have been an FSPassenger failure going on, but I wanted to see if maybe there was something else going on. I once had the same thing happen on a freeware C414 and discovered that there was a somewhat hidden anti-ice button that when turned on fixed the problem.Thanks for the comments.Stacey

Hi, I just bought the FSX Cessna Centurion and was on my maiden flight. I was climbing through 7,500ft when suddenly I lost power to my engine and was not able to maintain altitude. At around 3,000ft, I regained full power. I had Pitot heat turned on and was leaning fuel mixture during climb. Any thoughts? Is there another anti-ice option beside the pitot heat? :( After regaining power, I climbed back up to 10,000ft without incident.Thanks,StaceyFS9 + SP WinXP SP3 ASA FSPassengers
