Career: Cargo mission ATC asking for 30,000 ft, but Cessna only goes 25,000


ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue: In Career mode, with Cargo company: I have a new Cessna 208B Grand Caravan. Trying to do my first “Medium cargo” missions. Most of them seem to have flight plans that go at 30,000 ft. But the Cessna maxes-out at 25,000. Examples: Flights originating in LFAM or EGHJ. The ATC is on the radio every 20 seconds saying “please expedite your climb to 30,000” … for five hours. Who can listen to that “expedite climb” message every 20 seconds for five hours? Makes it hard to hear important radio comms. Why is the flight plan at 30,000 for a plane that cannot go that high?

If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue: Cessna 208B

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)? Every time in Career mode, with my Cessna 208B, in Medium Cargo missions that are more than 5 hours in duration. I believe it is all such missions, but I’ve only tried three so far.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

1.In Career mode, with Cargo company: flying a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan
2. Do any “Medium cargo” mission that is over 5 hours duration; Examples: Missions originating in LFAM or EGHJ and heading eastward.
3. Take off and start following the indicated route; note that the flight plans is mostly at 30,000 ft.
4. The ATC is on the radio every 20 seconds saying “please expedite your climb to 30,000” … for five hours.
5. Try to go to 30,000 but the Cessna maxes-out at 25,000 (which is correct; 25K is the max altitude of that Cessna).
6. Impact to user: makes it nearly impossible to fly: who can listen to that “expedite climb” message every 20 seconds for five hours? Makes it hard to hear important radio comms.
