Another little puzzler... (I post a lot here as I fly FS9+PFE pretty much every day, BTW. An addiction! Hope it's not getting too tiresome)
This is an extract from my last log file. I wonder why ATC keep (I say 'keep' as this often happens) clearing me to descend to a certain altitude, but then seem to change their mind and instruct me to maintain another altitude, higher (which I have usually descended well beyond by that stage, so it means me changing back to a climb - often too near the airport to make much sense.
Is it a 'feature' or a 'bug'? I tend to just ignore it, but that kind of 'messes up the flight', from a realism point of view: it gets so I what to tell ATC what I really think of them! I don't want to turm off ATC 'nags' altogether, as a repetition or two can be useful if one hasn't heard the first time around.
Example (from FL200 cruise):
27/01/2016 18:06:57: 010 - Transcript: 'Aereotuy 7100 Descend to 10 thousand Altimeter is 2993'

To be honest, I am not even sure what all of the last message means, either!
Thanks!
