@ Dan Steph
Dear Dan, would you please be so kind and tell me, us, an approximate release date for FSPX ? It does not have to be exact but could it
be in 4 weeks? or perhaps 2 month?
Also, will the demo be ready before the official release?
Please tell me , i been resting FSX because i been waiting a long time now for FSPX.
I would appreciate an answer to this.
Thank you!
Release date is indeed the first question we all have in mind a bout stuff we are waiting for. But unfortunately most often (if not always)
there is no answer to such question until... the release date
Logic, giving such a date would more likely bring only frustration cz either:
Due to unexpected difficulties to devlop the featueres, the date is postponed

Due to the release date, some feature(s) will not be implemented as expected

Some developpers* are not too much into customer relationship and answer something like "It welle be released when available" or the
reverse

* Dan is not like this


Then I prefere forget about date questions and think rather about the features:
I just read with big interest these details about fine differences between transition altitudes and transition level
http://www.ivao.aero/training/tutorials/...imetry.htm
This bring this question:
Would it be possible to implement a command which allow in flight to set the TA/TL to the values given in the ATIS or conrollers
instruction? it might work this way:
lets assume the keyboard shortcut is T.
-when pressed, the copilots says "Transition"
-the pilot type "50"
--If we are below 5000 feets the copilot confirms "Transition altitude 5000"
-if we are above FL 50 the copilot confirms "Transition level 050"
This looks fussy, but aviation needs to be fussy sometimes and don't forget that over most part of the world there is no 18000 ta standard
but different values from an airspace to the other.
