Wrong altitude


Recommended Posts

Hi Pete,

 

Maybe you can help me, when I'm flying online the fsx/Fsuipc send wrong information to the acars. Example; I was flying at FL340, but the acars saw it as FL100. The plane was a T7 PMDG. 

 

And Yes, I have the newest FSUIPC version installed.

The version of FSUIPC makes no difference. The FS altitude readouts have always worked, never changed. You need to go to support for your ACARs program.

Ok, I knew that, but the guy who created this ACARS program says it's not his program that cause this. What else do you think can cause this kind of problems with FS altitude readouts?

Without knowing what he is reading, i.e. which offset -- if he is indeed reading one -- there's no way I can tell you. If we knew the offset it would be easy for you to monitor that and prove what is wrong.

 

Are you sure it uses FSUIPC? Are you sure your FSUIPC installation is working correctly? Maybe you should show me the FSUIPC log file, from the Modules folder. Make sure you close down FS first, please.

I'm not sure if I did right  :???:

The log looks fine, so FSUIPC is working ok. You need to ask the ACARS author what he is reading for the altitude.

I see you are using Radar Contact too. Is that getting it right?

You also mentioned you were using the PMDG 777. Why? Do you think that makes a difference? Is it okay with other aircraft?

Also, since you are talking about Flight Levels, I assume you have set the altimeter to STD (29.92" or 1013. HPa displayed)?
