Andrew Carr 812404 Posted July 30, 2009 at 09:17 AM Posted July 30, 2009 at 09:17 AM I have found that departing aircraft are automatically [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igned 7000FT as the initial takeoff altitude in the simulator. Is there a way to change this, for example by specifying the initial climb level in the scenario file? I am working on a scenario where departing aircraft climb to 8000FT, and at the moment I have to change each aircraft manually. I can't find a reference in the wiki or forums about this issue and would appreciate any advice!

Andrew Carr 812404 Posted August 2, 2009 at 07:17 PM Author Posted August 2, 2009 at 07:17 PM Adam, No; it appears to be a default setting in the simulator. As soon as I load the scenario, all aircraft sitting on the ground show an initial climb level of 7000FT in the 'Altitude' column of the Traffic Control Panel. I'm hoping to find a way to change this default setting so I don't have to manually change each aircraft before they depart.

Todor Atanasov 878664 Posted August 2, 2009 at 07:23 PM Posted August 2, 2009 at 07:23 PM Well I just did some tests and so far all my departing traffic are showing the APT Elevation. But I'm with the latest beta so if it is a bug it is fixed. Can you send me your scenery file for some test?

Gergely Csernak Posted August 4, 2009 at 10:00 AM Posted August 4, 2009 at 10:00 AM Andrew, At the moment there is no attribute to set the initial climb level/altitude. I just put the 7000 to have a limit. I thought that normally when the plane receive a clearance the trainer will have time to set up all the things including the initial climb. Gergely.

Andrew Carr 812404 Posted September 14, 2009 at 06:49 AM Author Posted September 14, 2009 at 06:49 AM Gergely, Thank you for confirming this. I'm using the simulator for a TMA session where there is a simulated TWR, so the student doesn't issue a clearance or initial climb - TWR (ie. the instructor) just fires them off the runway. If there's any way for a future version of the scenario file to include an initial climb altitude for each aircraft, that would be a great feature! In any case, thanks for an excellent piece of software in Euroscope and a very useful simulator.
