Weird odd levels assigned out of ENGM on VIPPA sids

Generating routes form VIPPA with next waypoint of either ALASA AMRAK gives odd flight levels for westbound routes, which should be even.
Could this be fixed?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, odd levels are correct.

The magnetic course between VIPPA and RAXLU/ALASA/AMRAK is 175/177/179 degrees respectively, which is eastbound in all 3 cases.

Looking at real-world flight plans on edi-gla, they also file odd altitudes.

If you plan a route beginning with VIPPA P615 ARTOR DCT ALASA however, SimBrief will plan an even altitude on P615 until ARTOR (in accordance with the Norway AIP), then change to an odd altitude. Real-world flights do the same.

Some examples of recent real-world flights:

Ahh. Just did not find any of the correct numbers on the generated flightplans. Thanks for following up.
