After installing the 3.15.1 update, I started getting ATC calls to correct my altitude by 500 feet. All indications said the altitude displayed and barometer setting was correct. This is new. I've attached the logs, below.

Thanks.

I see it was just a one off and was probably caused by you taking off without obtaining clearance to do so... PF3 calmed down after that though and all seemed to be okay

I don't know if my memory is getting worse as I get older...
...I just can't remember how it used to be!

That could be. I have had little or no taxi guidance, lately, even though my scenery has been updated in PF3 since any changes. I have been forced to take off and then call departure. The exact altitude behavior is a failure of ATC to get the cruise altitude correct. I keep having to add 500 feet to get center off my back. This behavior just repeated on another flight. All of this is very different than it was before the new update.

According to the log you did receive taxi instructions

Next time you have the altitude problem please report back and include the complete debug log

FWIW, I'm on a flight right now in FS2020 in the stock A320neo and am noticing the same thing. I'm cruising at FL260 per my flight plan, but I keep getting nagged by ATC to maintain FL260.

I manually bumped my flight level up to 26500 ft and the nagging has stopped. Who knows.

This could be a bug in the stock A320neo. I normally fly the FlyByWire A320 in FS2020, but am flying some "bush" flights that force the stock A320neo. Or, is it possible the previous fix you added for the altitude bug in 3.15.0 got lost in your latest 3.15.1 release Dave?

I'm still in the flight so I'm not sure if this debug_monitor.log is complete and will show you what you need to see, but here it is. I can also upload it again after the flight is complete.

Let me clarify. I did receive initial taxi instructions. I did not receive any en route guidance from TGS. I did follow the route per the instructions from ground control.

The log files for the current flight are below.

Thanks.

Only thing I could suggest right now is to make sure you're using the latest version of FSUIPC, which you're not

Ah, ok. I'll head out there and grab the latest version. Good catch.

(1) I'd like to purposely not thank the MSFS2020 bloke who highjacked this thread.

(2) The last update broke broke PF3 in P3Dv5.3.

Cheers.

Are you still getting altitude issues?

The last log didn't show you being nagged about your altitude other than the one time. If you still have problems please attach another log file once you've completed the flight and disconnected from the sim.
