CHQ-LGW Nasty wx ahead.... ...and some more to be avoided. LAT REV offset, where are you? Anyone?

While I understand there might be some strong feelings towards other simulations of A320 aircraft, I would kindly ask everyone to watch their tone and refrain from derogatory or insulting remarks. There are people working very hard to develop these products so if by any chance they frequent this forum, they will feel terribly if they read your comments regardless of your intentions. Please think about such things before posting.

This happens becuase some waypoints and as well as airways only exists in certain flightlevels or are temporarly restricted. [or errenous routing segment] The best example is Europe where most of the airways have coresponding "upper" airway above ~~FL260. So if you want to fly lets say L869 your "automatic" highest picked level will be 260. But if you insert "u" before (UL869) you will be able to cruise at ie. level 340. I've checked your routing and it looks like you have between IDOSI and ARROW an incorrect direct segment. [edit] Direct segment is correct but simbrief doesn't have it in its database most likely. That's why it result in this erreneous level. What I was doing back when using simbrief was inserting special "command" to the routing. In your case it should be IDOSI/N0450F341. N____ means expected crusing speed, F___ is requested flight level. I'm not sure if chinese system will allow flight levels in feets. And no it's not a bug No, it has nothing to do with 0-179/180-359 rule. And yes, things like this happens IRL but it's very very very rare and doesn't happens MID CRUISE. If dispatcher would pass this flight plan forward he would be likely fired. If it were to happen it would be during descend if not aircraft would fly different route.

Up to get it

In 32 years of Flight Simulator / Prepar3D I've never seen a new simulator version that runs smoothly on the PC most people have. It has always been "New Sim, new PC". I never really understood in which computers they develop the software because I had cases in which, even with the best PC I could buy in the market, the thing looks bumpy (low FPS). These days I'm a bit sick and tired of these cycles that make us expend several thousands Euros (hardware and software) and many hours of installations/twicking just to keep up. I like to fly, you know, not playing software engineer (which I already do in real life) as a hobby. Oh how I miss the days when you install the Sim and 10 mins later you up there flying and fighting! Now it's like: Sim ,then FSUIPC, then weather, then textures, then shades, then aircrafts then scenery then navdata then ... you got the point. I guess I'll keep my stable and featured P3DV4.5 for a long time ... and keep hoping that FSLabs won't pull the carpet on this version somewhere soon.

this v5 update has me flying nothing but A320 it's almost too good ... looking forward to the sharklets

After almost a week of excruciating faffing and alignment work, Air Malta 9H-AEP is finally available here There are some areas where I couldn't replicate the IRL bird due to extreme texture distortion (mosly on belly areas at the rear) but it should be a fairly accurate representation of 9H-AEP.
