Transition altitudes

[MJBggles]

I mentioned this ages ago, and boycotted the program as a result. I recently was informed that alot of fixes have been made so I
downloaded it again.

Mistake. The transition altitudes are still not fixed. There is still no 10000 or 13000ft transition option, Rendering the program useless to
Australians and New Zealanders. OK, we can turn that off, but it's not the point.

The damn stewardess is Australian for God's sake, so you can't say you never heard of the place.

How hard can it be to do this?

Stop ignoring countries that aren't spelt U.S.A.

MJBggles myself being Australian and the voice of FsP being my other half I would have to say .. stress less buddy good things will come
to those who wait and if you decide to leave this program to the side just because of ONE out of God knows how many features, you are
missing out Furthermore I have helped your CEO (James Noble ) out with implementing something on your evair.com website so
obviously other people in your VA do not see it your way.

Oh and by the way for if you did not realise .... Dan is not even American actually

Well said Jay. MJ, maybe try decaf?

[MJBggles]

I was typing in a state of frustration. Should have counted to 10 first.

Tell me the oversight will be rectified and I'll be happy.

DOn't get me wrong, I love the program too. Just sick of being penalised for flying correctly.

And yes, I know Dan isn't American, and what James has set up at Eastern. I think it's great, but American pilots have the correct Trans Alt
available to them.

[JayKae]

Fair enough, don't worry every little "annoyance" is being looked at by Dan, just IF it will be implemented in the next update we never can
tell upfront. Certain things can interfere with other functionality of the program

Hope it helps

Technically and Brad could correct me if I am wrong but I thought T/A in the US was 18K not 10K. Don't always blame everything on the USA it is not
ALL our fault...

18000/FL180 in the USA & Canada. Always. =)

I just found this:

In summary, the transition altitude can be totally different from place to place even on a small area (On the LondonSID’s, it is 6000’, but
Manchester SID charts show 5000’, East Midlands 3000’ ).

So, rather than an option in FsPassenger, the transition altitude should be a variable linked to the airport itself or ATC Area. Understand
that an "as real as it gets" handling of transition altitude is pretty difficult.

For me, it is not a big issue and I can live with a fixed transition altitude of 18 000.

BUT ....
What about landing lights altitude ?

In FsP (I don't know in real) it is fixed to 10 000 everywhere. But some airports like SLLP - El Alto Intl - Bolivia are at some 12000 feets.

I tried both solutions.
With lights off, the result is:
-The landing lights must be activated when entering the runway until 10000 ft, you forgot them. Our company received a fine of $350. (-50)

With lights on, the result is:
The landing lights must be turned off when flying higher than 10000 ft. (-30)

Is there any way to avoid any penalty when taking off ot landing from SLLP ? (May be switching of just ONE landing light ? )

Btw, to my knowledge Radar Contact 4 will support different TAs for departure and arrival. So at last it will get better on the ATC side. Also
FDC supports it already. So if you use FDC in combination with RC4 and FSP you have a winning team (and a big hole in your wallet, I
know, I know)

Let's keep the threads away from political influence. Keep in mind that the creator of this program doesn't live in the USA!

Just to verify: Here in the US, the TA is FL180 ALWAYS!

Hey JayKae, is that your WIFE's voice?! Whow! If she kisses the way she talks, you must be one lucky guy! Hehehe!

[SWAFO]

I believe it's his Fiance. That may have changed by now, I'm not sure though.
