Fsbuild-2 Flight Planner

Hi,

Only just got FSBuild today. The plan below is generated using step climbs and is for the PMDG 747. All is fine, apart from the descent, where it appears to get me down early and then level me out at FL290 for a while. The planner should give me a continuous descent from TOD.

Can anyone tell me why this is?

I am unable to reproduce this problem.

Could you post the flightplan line you entered?

Thanks Steve.

The plan is:

The a/c profile is the PMDG B747 one by Larry Stewart. The relevant bits are below.

Cheers in advance if you can help at all..
