Altitude selector resets [answered]
Whenever both flight directors are selected off the value in the altitude selector reverts to 10000. Is this proper behavior for the Pro Line 21? While I have never actually flown a King Air 350, I have type ratings in several other aircraft and suspect this is a bug.

Re: Altitude selector resets
Hi,
That's an arbitrary convention we adopted, not a bug.
In the real KA, resetting both FD also reset FGS modes; however the Preselected Altitude will remain the last set, even when powering the aircraft after a C & D situation.
As we don't conserve that value in the sim, we had to take a compromise. Just to avoid setting a value that might be displayed in amber as a caution altitude, which might bring to confusion, the 10,000 ft value seemed reasonable. This could change in the future, we'll see.
