I have a scenario where AI side is set to ferry aircraft.
The ferry missions are set to use "0" as transit altitude, hopefully meaning default. And explicitly set for Cruise throttle.

Nevertheless, some (not all) of the aircraft will ferry at 300 ft, drastically increasing fuel burn and running out of fuel before reaching the destination.

Attached is example scenario. Select CIVILIANS side, set on 15x accel and watch.

The aircraft Bali DPS-PER, originating from DPS will have this issue. Once it is airborne and somewhat away from DPS, you can compare it with Bali DPS-PHE aircraft just nearby, which is perfectly normal (and both are same type aircraft as far as I can tell).

Thanks Alex. I was still testing, hasn't thrown up the white flag yet.

Even weirder, in many hours of testing the scenario I've NEVER seen this happen. Scenario built on B573 and then V1.06.

Do you guys need any more save games/scenarios? I've got a bunch where I COULDN'T duplicate the problem, which doesn't seem terribly helpful, but let me know if you want them.

No as from your testing it doesn't sound like a huge deal. Thanks for taking a look though!

I have another case of low altitude,
see the attached save file.

In this save file, Group_690, they have auto altitude of 80ft. However if you look up the mission which they are assigned to, it has both transit and on-station altitude specifically set to 10000 ft (to be in missile launch envelope all the time). Btw same with Group_688.

Well that last one is my fault. I forgot the "Mission profile -> Use throttle/altitude override" selector.

Seems the 300ft altitude thingie has been fixed in the latest database. So please rebuild the scenario with the 1.07 Service Release database and they should work fine. Thanks! [8D]
