Mohamed Hammouna 1291174 Posted September 23, 2019 at 12:38 PM Posted September 23, 2019 at 12:38 PM Hi, I have been using the Aerosoft A318/19 Professional (P3D v4) for some time now, but recently I started to get this strange bug where my altitude gets transmitted to the Vatsim servers incorrectly by usually -1000 feet. This makes it not just challenging for me, but also for ATCs and surrounding TFC as they see me 1000 ft lower than I actually am. And no, this is not because of a wrongly set altimeter ... I have already de-installed the bus and installed it again as well the vPilot client. Hope anyone can provide a solution for this. https://prnt.sc/p9t5bk https://prnt.sc/p9t5lj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted September 23, 2019 at 04:28 PM Posted September 23, 2019 at 04:28 PM Are you basing this on what that map shows, or have you also had reports from actual controllers that you are off by 1000 feet?

Ross Carlson Posted September 23, 2019 at 11:36 PM Posted September 23, 2019 at 11:36 PM Any idea what the ambient pressure was at the time? Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Carlson Posted September 24, 2019 at 01:03 PM Posted September 24, 2019 at 01:03 PM No, I don't suspect a problem with your weather engine. The reason I ask is because all VATSIM pilot clients send two altitudes to the server. One is your pressure altitude, the other is your true altitude. I'm not sure which of those your map screenshot is showing. Knowing the ambient pressure at the time might help explain it. I also know that the controller's scope might show the wrong altitude (pressure vs true) if it is not configured right.
