Post subject:  VFR and flight level change

Hi,
this time I've only a question. Last time when flying a VFR flight I was not able to change the flight level by 1000'. I always get the response "Alpav 441 Unable at this time maintain ...". What's the logic behind flight level change?

Kind regards
Wolfgang

10% chance your request will be denied.... also not allowed if you're flying at less than 5,000' AGL

Ok, now it's clear because my altitude was 3500'. Any chance to relax the 5000' limit so you can ask for a higher flight level? I ask because my original VFR altitude is most of the time between 3500' and 5500' and so I'm not able to fly over some mountain ridges with an altitude violation.

Kind regards
Wolfgang

Done!

Don't know why that check was there anyway ;-)

Watch out for version 2.12.... due out this month

Hi,

with version 2.12 changing the altitude now works even if the altitude is lower than 5000'. Thanks!

But I think I've found a small rounding issue when changing the altitude on a VFR flight. My altitude was 3500' and I request to climb 1000' (H+1 key). But the new altitude I received was 5000' and not 4500' as expected. This rounding will be correct for IFR but I think not for VFR.

Kind regards
Wolfgang
