Yup a bug. I’ve found it differs usually 3-400 feet on ATC altitude and indicated Altitude.
Slowly continue climb to 12.300-12.400 if you are assigned 12.000 ft and ATC will give you next higher altitude.

Are you are above your local transition altitude? If so, have you set your altimeter to “standard” value instead of local QNH? This would result in an altitude discrepancy as far as ATC would see. I’ve done this myself a few times on the A320!

I think MSFS is using 18.000 feet as a global setting no matter where you are flying.

Ah, I do remember that now you mention it. Specific aircraft do obey it - e.g. pretty sure that the FBW A320 flashes “STD” at you when you pass the transition altitude specified in the MCDU, but perhaps the ATC will ignore this anyway. Boo :-1:
