Hi there, loving Navigraph Charts and the MSFS in-game panel! When I click the “export” button and load the current flight plan to the simulator, I type in my desired cruising altitude but ATC doesn’t seem to have a cruise altitude, it just gives me an initial clearance and one additional climb instruction to some intermediate afterward. From that point I have to request a cruising altitude increase (at least once since we can only do up to 10,000 increments with default ATC) to get to my actual cruising altitude.
Loading the same flight plan into the sim via the world map does not have this problem.
Is this a potential Charts bug or a simulator bug?
Hello! Sorry for the super late response, this topic went under our radar.
Please see this response to another topic:
Setting the cruise altitude when loading in the world map is one thing - setting it after the flight has started is another. It is not unlikely that the cruise altitude can be set in the same way that MSFS does it internally when you import a flight in the world map, but the ATC does not reliably pick this up if the flight has already been loaded.
Unfortunately, I don’t think that there is much we can do. We have tried several ways, but none is reliable enough to make a good feature. As mentioned in the other topic, we’ll keep this on our watchlist and if an opportunity comes around to make this a thing, we’ll happily consider it!
