Crusing Altitude (ATC and Mission requirements)

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

  • One key point of every mission (especially Medevac/VIP Missions) is reaching cruise Altitude. If you fly below the transition altitude (I assume the sim uses US standard of 18’000ft) the reference Altitude is relevant for the flight. (ft in mbar given by ATC)
    But to achieve the milestone “Cruising Altitude reached” the sim refers in the background to a altitude based on 1013mbar. With live pressures above 1013mbar you don’t reach cruising altitude.

If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:

  • So far in any, unless i chosen a cruise altitude high enough the FL is relevant and not feet.
  • It is especially relevant for VIP missions (we are cruising now messages) and medevac missions (Patient examination / or evaluation of your start and climb :stuck_out_tongue: )
    [PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
  • No addons installed

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you

  • Every time I cruise below the transition Altitude in a mission and it is relevant fo the mission.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

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

  1. Fly in live Weather conditions with barometric pressure deviating greatly from the standard pressure. (roughly +6mbar should be enough if cruising between 11’000 and 17’000ft)
  2. Try to reach the milestone cruising altitude reached. (Announcement we are cruising in VIP missions or patient examination in medevac missions.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes - in Cirrus Vision Jet, flying VIP Mission from KRWI-WV62. PFD shows altitude = 20000 and barometer = STD. Mission Steps box is still asking me to “reach 20000.” Captain announces to passengers that we are presently cruising at 18900 feet. If I set VS on and ALT = 21000, at 20700 indicated on PFD, ATC warns that I am 700’ above my assigned flight level.

I observed the same issue above the transition level.

The mission steps seem to use whatever pressure setting, but not STD.

I’m cruising at the assigned FL290, but mission steps wants me to reach cruise.
If I play around with my altitude by a couple of hundred feet, the mission step turns green, but ATC starts complaining, that I’m not at my assigned altitude.
