If you have evolved beyond the default, you must tell me which flight planner are you using.

Posted: Thu Nov 24, 2011 7:50 amIf you still use the default flight planner, then after having pressed the "Find Route" button you're brought to the map, under which there's the dial for the cruising altitude. Change it there.

Posted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 2:01 pmAssuming this is for an AI DC-3, you change the altitude value for each leg of your flight plan. You can get the flight plan by decompiling the relevant traffic BGL file using TTools (FS9) or AIFP (FSX) (as I remember).

Sorry, mistook your question. Yet you did not indicate what kind of approach you use into making AI flight plans. :-/
If you use the manual editing of the flight plans, then in you flightplans text file you'll have a string like this:
AC#1,AZ203,50%,24Hr,IFR,21:00,,370,F,0203,LIRF,09:00,,380,F,0204,VHHX
Where the highlighted part states the flight level the AI plane will fly at.
If you use some program that helps you without having to loose your sanity over text files, then... I don't know... never used one... always used the text method myself... that's why I have no sanity anymore.
