No I’m talking about switching to STD.
In game, if you are climbing at a set airspeed in a fixed-pitch airplane, manipulating the mixture just a hair will result in an audible change in tone for the engine, as if its speeding up. Engine speed on a fixed pitch is a relation to prop loading and airspeed. Adjusting the mixture a quarter of an inch isnt going to give you 300more RPMs in a standard climb.
Not at all, the title is correct. I’m sensing a lot of French-defaults for things that dont apply to the rest of the world. Small nuances
But at the same time they use inches of mercury for the altimeters and give a general transition altitude of 18.000 feet as if they were controlling U.S. Airspace.

MSFS’s ATC system is pretty much a straight transplant of the old FSX ATC system, with a new voice engine and a few things such as pushback added. As such it has all the old idiosyncrasies like the transition altitude being 18,000ft across the entire world.
The community did manage to edit FSX’s ATC phaselolgy to include ICAO standards, through a program called EditVoicepack. It doesn’t completely fix everything but it was a major improvement. Now we hope they’ll do the same with MSFS.
Here’s the link to EditVoicepack for FSX.

Here’s their statement with regards to MSFS:

That’s more related to a general issue with mixture control modelling in all the piston aircraft. For whatever reason you currently don’t get max fuel flow at the Full Rich position, so they are operating at a reduced output. When you start to lean you immediately see a large jump in Fuel Flow. Hence, you see unusually large RPM/power increases in that first small amount of Mixture travel, then it operates in a more expected fashion from there.

So I assume thats a bug that will be worked out eventually?

Hopefully, until then the best thing to do is submit zendesk reports, the more people reporting it, the higher up the priority list it goes.
And i am sensing a lot of American stuff. But i’m not saying “This game is obviously published by Americans.” You get what i mean?

I would change the title of this to something that sounds a little less hostile.
I understand where it’s coming from but man - that title.

So the game should be made more “international” (you really mean American, 2 different things lol) so that Americans can feel at home.
Funny thing is, the way it is now more closely aligns with how the rest of the world operates, so maybe the real topic should be America should internationalise itself and align with the rest of the world lol.
Bracing myself for the barrage of bullets (figuratively and literally) from all the Americans now lol.
Not flaming you, just making a light hearted joke that trying to Americanise the game is the least of the Dev’s concerns considering all the other problems with it. Half of the things you mentioned can be fixed with mods, as for American style ATC, you got VATSIM where you can be controlled by real Americans with their American ATC style.

This post makes me chuckle a little because many metric measurements are absent from the game. That said, I think full representation of both North American and European aviation systems would be much appreciated, though that takes time to have done.

Well the ATC is biased towards the US GA pilot; we don’t have flight following, and most of the planet uses millibars not the US only inches of mercury.
There are plenty of other ‘american-isms’ so I wouldn’t be complaining too much.
As for the US not using proper RT, well, yeah, that’s something you should all be doing so maybe this will sharpen some GA amateur pilots RT, which can only be a good thing.

When I flew in Greenland the transition altitude would change every day, from 8k to 15k. Usually it was 10k though
Strangely, I heard “taxi into position and hold” in-game today from ATC. “Position and hold” was American-only phraseology until ~2010 when the FAA switched to the ICAO standard “line up and wait.”

Thats really a big one I heard that and was wtf LOL did you report it?
Funny that just because the language is ‘English’ we still get American ATC and pilot accent. So it’s not all European

Unfortunately it’s not European enough for my tastes.
Altitude in feet?
Pressure in inHg ?
No options yet to change any of these on the pathetic G1000?
I think we’re all going to have to take a step back whilst they sort out this incomplete hot mess.
