Mirage altimeter not going higher than...

[Sylosis]

I've searched the forum and Google for other posts on this but didn't find anything.

 

As I am flying the campaign, the altimeter on the Mirage stops going up at a certain value, which changes depending on the mission.

 

It is usually in the 20000 ft range. On one mission it was stopping at 21600 and on another campaign mission it was more like 23900.

 

I can still climb, but the altimeter won't give me the altitude. It will be stuck at a certain number. The needles will only start moving again once I am lower than that weird virtual limit.

 

Thought it would be a problem with pitot heat, but I always turn it on at start-up... So I don't know...?

I experienced the same issue.

Yup me too, but only after 1.5.7.

Pitot heat ?

Pitot heat ?

 

As I said, I make sure to turn it on every flight during engine start-up.

Sorry, I did not see your last line, can you provide a track highlighting the issue so we can see if it's the same for everyone ? Because last time I flown it was working correctly up to 40k ft.

There is a similar issue in the F-15 at the moment where it sometimes stops displaying altitude changes and freezes the altimeter, usually in the angels 28-35 region. It unfreezes once climbing above that. So it may be an ED issue.

Is working well here.

Pitot heat is rather for airspeed measurement, not altitude. :)

[Azrayen]

Correct. But the switch is in fact labelled ANEMO short for Anémométrie which means that it triggers air data sensors heating, not "just" pitot heating.

Good to know, thanks.

I'll try to share a track as soon as possible, depending on my schedule. Hopefully before this wednesday.

I'm getting this bug in 1.5.7 while playing the M2k's campaign.

 

Altimeter freezes at 23,470 ft (value from the info bar)

 

Unfreezes at 36,150 ft but it no longer displays the accurate altitude.

 

Should also note that while it's frozen I can still change the displayed value by changing the barometric pressure value.

+1 also had this issue playing the campaign a few weeks ago. Have not tested it on the latest release that came out yesterday.

Seems fixed .

I had this last night while playing mp with grim reapers, it stuck every time at 20,040 even though the f10 map said I was at over 33,000ft:(
