Transition Altitude over old Europe

[pegase]

Every thing about TA (or TL when descending) goes fine on FsP as long as we keep within the US Standard FL180. But here over our old
European little countries, it is mostly FL050. and sometimes, when I get assignment for something like FL080, I am already on QNH
setting for 8000 feets and some controllers don't like this so much... especially when current pressure at sea level is a bit far from 1013.

I tried in FsP settings to set the TA at 5000 but then, although I take care to set 1013 as soon as get above FL050, the result is that the
controllers are satisfied... But not me because I get 100 pens because, upon Fsp, I forgot to set the altimeter at 1013 above Fl180. (this is
true because it was set on 1013 since passed FL050...)

Is there anyway to fix that and make controllrs and myself both happy at the same time?

Hi ya Sir Pierre...I get the same problem over Europe as well. Sometimes I set the QNH per RC4's direction, and once I reach the desired
altitude, RC4 tells me I'm at the wrong altitude. Go figure. After getting told, "Sir, you've busted your altitude again", I cancel IFR and make
the approach.

Thanks Joe,

But there are som ways fully OK with RC4's controllers which definately won't work with IVAO's or VATSIM controllers... wonder why

Perhaps something in this 18000feets seems hardcoded somewhere into FS but perhaps an editable configuration file exists about it?

Hmmm, good question. Maybe Drew, Martin or Mark can chime in and answer this.

Unfortunately the answer is a definite "no". 18'000 feet is the TA for the US (and Canada); and what is good for the US is good for the rest of the
world...

Too bad RC4 doesn't know this while I'm flying around Europe

Seems to be that, OK the best compromise i found so far is to leave the TA at 18000 and, if I must keep stable between FL050 and
FL180, force the setting at 1013. We currently have some 1035 by there and the difference is about 700 feets...
