Hi!
I have three questions about fling in FS.
1. what does it mean when ATC says. climb at FL290, for example. what
height is it?
2. when ATC said that I have do climb to 11,000 and reached that level
ATC said that I`m 2000m above my flight level. Internationa settings
are set to metres. but also if I set the settings to feets the numbers
were not coresponding.
3. what should I do whet ATIS or ATC says, i do not know exactly,
something about the pressure or height on target airport.
Thanks in advance
Robert

could be that your altimeter is not set up propelly have a look on the right
side you have a moveable scale from 28.00 to 31.00 that where when ATIS or
ATC tell you the setting you need to enter it

This question might be more applicable in rec.aviation.simulators
FL290 would be 29,000ft
