DLRK 2 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 As seen here:https://imgur.com/a/XXL5zYp An early descent and level-off is planned shortly before the actual TOD. Any idea on why this would happen? No restrictions are shown in the route. Disabling step climb (setting it to "no") prevents this from happening.

srcooke 421 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Not sure if this is a remnant of pre-release early decent function or an error with the step climb function which exhibits other issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLRK 2 Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 But how do I fix this? Will there be a patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLRK 2 Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Not sure if this helps, but this bug appears to only occur when the flight doesn't require a step climb. It looks like when a step climb isn't required, PFPX sets an excessively low initial altitude and an early descent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get FL240 in the for the FSL Airbus YMHB-YMML, where optimum is FL340-360 depending on weight. I have to manually change altitude to find the most fuel-efficient. This altitude stuff in PFPX does need to be rectified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLRK 2 Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 It seems that a work-around is to set step climb to no for short flights, and only turn it on for longer flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
