The issue: IFR KDFW to KABQ. Level at 14.0 on the altimeter. VATSIM is showing 14.9. ATC says I’m 500’ above my assigned altitude. I adjust to 13.5 to compensate. Now ATC tells me I’m 300’ BELOW my assigned altitude!

It’s a good thing I was able to shoot a visual approach otherqise attempting an ILS landing while in the soup wou;d have been impossible.

This has happened with multiple flights VFR & IFR and with different aircraft sine update 5.

There is a huge thread on this already including the solutions which WT and the vPilot author are woking on.

Please see the acknowledgement that ATC Radar will read off your altitude incorrectly, and is addressed with the bundled fixes in World Update 6 on September 7th.

There is also an accompanying Discussion to that post if you wish to join.
