ME, aerobatics, CLIMB does not stop at set altitude

[zetikka]

Tested on DCS 2.9.3.51704, Hornet module, Caucasus map. Not a recent behaviour AFAIK (noticed +6 month ago when first trying).

Issue: when aerobatic task CLIMB is selected the aircraft will not stop its climb and level flight at the set Final Altitude, but generally at a random one above 20'000.

Similar issue with the DIVE task BtW (will open dedicated topic for it)

Hi, I will ask the team about this but please note that we have GFM work in progress for AI and it is probably best checked after that task is completed. 

I have moved this thread out of the F/A-18C module area to the AI section.

thank you

Could it be that the final altitude is in meters? That would roughly equate to 22k-ish feet.

IIRC few of the elements are in meters unless stated otherwise

This is correct, it is in meters, generally if it doesn't state it, it is in meters even if your settings are set to freedom units

Thanks Vakarian and NineLine, just did the testing and indeed both CLIMB and DIVE target exit altitudes in meters, event though the ME is set to Imperial units. 

Is this a (minor) discrepancy you guys at ED have in the to-fix list?
 

Now I know this is not a feature-wishes section, but since aerobatics are not a hot topic... I would love to see options "figure entry time" and "figure exit time" so we can set how fast the AI aircraft enters/exits say a 45° bank turn (now it it pretty dynamic). Basically this part of aerobatics is a good playground to train formation flying with an AI leader.

Thanks!
