Cruising Altitude Issues on First Career Mission (Sightseeing)
Hey everyone,
I’m currently playing MSFS 2024 and working through the first career mission for sightseeing, but I’ve been running into some frustrating issues with cruising altitude. Hoping someone here might have some advice or a solution!
Here’s what’s happening:
- I didn’t know the mission’s intended cruising altitude. The tab initially showed 10K feet, so I followed that. It resulted in an impossible climb and then a roller coaster dive to 1100 feet (which, I'm assuming is the mission altitude).
- On my 2nd or 3rd attempt, I tried setting the cruising altitude to 1100 feet before starting, but I couldn’t seem to input it properly. Every time I entered 1100 on the tablet, it gave me something like 110.00. The lowest I could set was 2000 feet—anything below that turned into a weird "1xx.00" value.
- So, I started at 2000 feet, then ATC kept harassing me to climb to 2000 immediately, even though I was following the mission’s flight path.
My main questions:
- How can I find out the mission’s intended cruising altitude beforehand?
- Why can’t I set a cruising altitude below 2000 feet? Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Would love to hear how you worked around it. Thanks!
