This happens in Cessna pistons, no idea if it’s more widespread. I reach cruising altitude, trim up and set for cruise. The sim keeps telling me to slow down while climbing. I’m at around 100-105 knots, flaps up. Am I missing something or should I just bite the bullet and disable all hints?
I would turn the hints off. The sim’s “hint generator” apparently thinks that you should only climb at the published Vy speed (best rate of climb) which for a Cessna 172 is 74 knots.
If you climb at Vy, you will reach your cruise altitude more quickly, but there is no reason why you cannot climb at a faster airspeed. In that case your rate of climb will be less, but you will make quicker progress toward your destination.
