Hi,

New pilot here. I've done 4 flights so far, and only 1 (my first) has fully worked.

When I start my descent, it keeps noting on the ACARS that I am cruising, even if the altitude changes. Anyone knows what is happening?

FSX Deluxe w/ FSUIPC 4 and CVAcars

The only thing that I can think of is that you may have entered your flight altitude wrong. Double check that before starting your next flight.

Yup, think it was that. I have been confusing Flight Level for FL---. I'll check that on my flight tonight.

Thanks!

In CVACARS, you cannot use FL. You must use altitude in feet. So 35000, not 350.

cheers :mrgreen:
