Baron ABC, climb to FL 300?

Hey fellas,
Just a quick question - is there any way around the bug where ATC gives constant instructions to light aircraft (Cessnas, Barons) to climb to altitudes that they could never, ever climb to?
It's more annoying than a problem - but just wanted to ask

Cheers
Stew

I use FS02. It may be different in FS04, where you have more control over ATC.
If my flight plan says 30,000 ATC will insist that I climb to 30,000 and constantly nag me until I do.
Make another flight plan for GA at a lower altitude.
Can't a Baron get to 30,000 feet? It may take an hour but I think it will do it.

In my FS 2004, when I generate an IFR Flight Plan, I specify my desired cruise altitude, and ATC generally guide me through the route using that altitude, varying it when necessary to keep me clear of the local terrain.
It seem to work very well, with my default Beech Baron 58.

Sorry guys, I may not have been clear - my aircraft is fine (747F banging along at FL330 at M.84 - I fly the tubes) but ATC gives constant instructions to other, AI aircraft like:
"Baron ABC, please expedite your climb to FL300" when it's clear that it'll
never get that high...
That's what I wanted to ask about

I often hear my ATC saying "{aircraft} you are 300 below (or above) your assigned altitude, please expedite your climb to FLxxx (or descent)" for AI aircraft. It gets real annoying sometimes.
Another one I hate is when ATC gives me a traffic alert and the voice says one direction but the ATC window says another. Or they will tell me to change to a particular frequency and the voice will differ from the ATC window.
