Daniel Hawton Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 No, real world STARS doesn't have a "temporary altitude" block. However, VRC shows it on my end on every 3rd rotation (current alt, scratch pad, [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igned cruise/temp altitude, scratch pad, current alt, etc.).

Daniel Hawton Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 STARS does not show the temporary altitude on any rotation of the data block. It does in VRC is what I was getting at. Real world it definitely does not as there is no function to set it (you can modify the FP, but that doesn't change the information in the data block).

Christopher Mauro Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 That is weird, because on the rotations, when tracking an aircraft, you have their indicated altitude on the bottom left, but the only things that should rotate are the scratchpad, groundspeed, and aircraft type.

Real world it definitely does not as there is no function to set it (you can modify the FP, but that doesn't change the information in the data block). You might be thinking of another datablock type, because the STARS mode in VRC does not display temporary altitude anywhere. (I just searched the source code to confirm.)

It was doing it for me earlier, I could swear. Either that or the pilot was jumping a few thousand feet each cycle of the data block. Knowing some pilots in the Seattle airspace, it wouldn't surprise me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
