To climb further, you need to increase the altitude and possibly do something else, such as click on the center of the altitude setting dial. Your altitude is set at 20,000, and the aircraft is holding at that altitude, so it is behaving normally.
This is so that if ATC restricts you to a certain altitude, the aircraft won't go above that altitude. In a climb, the aircraft should never climb above the altitude set in the MCP (autopilot) altitude window, no matter what altitude the FMC is set for at the next waypoint. I don't have the X-Plane version of the 777, but I'm familiar with several others. The only way I can get the plane to climb or defend to the right altitude is to manually set it on the altitude control of the autopilot. I am having some issues learning how to get the VNAV to work with the FMC and the flight director/autopilot.Įverything is working perfectly except it is not auto controlling the vertical altitude even though I can see all of the flight levels in the FMC.
