Starting altitude for snapshots

[woodstock327]

Hi J-P,

I noticed something about creating snapshots, and just want to know if that's intentional or if it's a bug...

I started an approach with FSIPanel, was all set up in the cockpit, ALT HOLD at 8000 feet, dialed in a lower altitude of 3000 ft on the MCP (but still holding at 8000), and then created a snapshot. The next time I loaded the snapshot I found that the aircraft was positioned at 3000 ft instead of the altitude I was at (8000 ft) at the time I created the snapshot...

No big deal now that I know that it seems to save with the altitude dialed in, instead of the altitude I'm currently at, just wondering if this is how it's supposed to work.

Thanks!
Dirk

Hi Dirk,

FSiPanel takes the MCP altitude when saving the snapshot to avoid all kind of wrong behavior due to altimeter settings and other factors.
So when you save a Snapshot, your MCP altitude shall be the same as aircraft altitude...
