N0451F310 AMLUH UM852 DENIX DCT LARET DCT SODRO T703 POST EDITED BY STAFF TO REMOVE INAPPROPRIATE OR FOUL LANGUAGE. In the PFPX version before I've never needed to put manually the FL but the output of the computed route in case of the FL was always reasonable and realistic.
Only if I put manually my wished FL at a certain waypoint, the output comes with that FL. I´ve tried different ways for the routing (use only high alt airways, optimize for lowest fuel, lowest cost etc., even ignore any restrictions) Those settings don´t make any difference in the FL that is computed by PFPX. That's wrong for an airliner who will never fly at 5000 feet from Frankfurt to Nuernberg. A flightplan from EDDH to EDDK came out with an flightlevel of FL120 and another one from EDDF to EDDM with even 5000 feet. Airliners always try to fly as high as possible, because the consumption bias of the Fans is getting more efficient as higher you get and the air is getting 'thinner'. This is very important for fuel consumption. A Lufthansa flight from Hamburg to Munich is flown usually in FL above from F元20 and above. For instance: a planed flight from EDDH to EDDM with an Airbus A320 comes out with an cruiselevel of FL180, that's just wrong. Since I updated to V2 all flightplans created are ending up with strange cruise levels.
