Transition altitude/ level and flaps/gear speed limits

[fabrytnix]

Good day all,
the managment of TL doesn't exist, TL is the same of TA only in U.S.A and few others country.
In all others parts of the world TL is different from TA, and if you perform an international flight in Europe you 'll have 2 TA and 2 TL different from
relatives TA.
I suggest that user it would have to be able to choose to input 2 TA and 2 TL.
TA and TL of destination airport (TL very often change with QNH variations), it would have to be able to be set up during the flight
If this feature will be not implemented, pilots flying on-line.can have problems
220 KIAS is too low speed to extend flaps for a 747 with a good percent of payload.
Very often gear speed limit is more then 250 KIAS.
I suggest to create specific profiles for different type of aircrafts.

That's a great thing about FSP... You can customize it to your liking. You could make different profiles for different aircraft, give it a try.

Tnx for your answer
How can you customize flaps and gear speed limit for any aircraft?
And remain opened the question about TL and TA

I must agree very strongly on the TA/TL story. This is whats happening in real life.
climbing through TA, you have to put in the 1013mb
decending triough TL you have to put in local QNH

In most countries TA and TL are different (as stated by Fabrytnix)
When I fly from EHAM to EDDM,
EHAM TL= 3000ft, EDDM TL=5000ft
TA depents on the local QNH.

Especially for online simmers this is very important because our wheater does change (I know...offline it's also possible)

Today I got several penalties for not setting the propper QNH. In fact I DID set the proper QNH, but FSPdidn't think so.

It's mot a bug I guess....but I think it's something to be looked at......make a place where local TA's and TL's can be filled in?

Best regards,
JP

I have not had any trouble with the gear and flaps and all I have been flying is the 767. The gear though I think is a good limit. 270kts in
the book is very loud in the aircraft and not good for the gear or the pax comfort...... we usually do not extend until below 200kts. Much
quieter and not as much stress on the gear.

Agreed on the flaps. I put them out on a DC-10 today at about 230 KIAS. Didn't hurt it, but I was worried because I had that big, red,
flashing 220 in the back of my head.

You could always disable the altimeter penalty. If you're anything like me, you're usually hitting the B key about once a minute anyway
when you're descending.

I could also disable all penalties, but I've paid 100% of cost (also for those penalty).
I think that disable penalties must be a free choice, not a chosen forced
