BallsOFire Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 When I try and specify an altitude in AGL for a waypoint it limits it to 3937ft. Why? I can specify any altitude in MSL that I want. Am I missing something or is it a bug? I5, GTX1060, TM Warthog A-10C Flightstick, TM TWCS, Odyssey+ WMR
AlphaOneSix Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 3937 feet = 1200 meters My guess is that's the cutoff they decided to use, above which radar altitude doesn't work. In other words, why would you use an AGL of 7000 feet when no aircraft has a radar altimeter that can go that high? (in-game) The A-10C radalt can go to 5000 feet, if I remember correctly. 1
msalama Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 And bear in mind that ASL (barometric altitude) goes as high as you want :) EDIT: Ach, sorry, you've noticed this it seems. So why not use it straightaway? The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

That makes perfect sense, thanks. Didn't eve think about it having to use radar. I5, GTX1060, TM Warthog A-10C Flightstick, TM TWCS, Odyssey+ WMR
