Hi guys, 

A quick questions. I'm new to the PMDG 777 series and I am facing some issues if anyone would be so kind to help.

I planned my flight with Online Flight Planner, RTE: OMDB - LTBA. Programmed the FMC and the LEGS show me an increase of ALT up FL280 then, after about 5 waypoints(est. can't remember exactly how many waypts in between) or so, it goes up to FL300(CRZ ALT).

So, after TO, I climb to FL280 an the aircraft stabilizes at FL280. BUT as the LEGS on FMC progress to FL300, the aircraft(AP) does not go up to FL300. It maintains at FL280 through the cruise. 

Is there something I'm missing or a step I've missed or should have done?

Any help would be much appreciated.  

Thank you in advance!

The plane will not auto climb by it self. You need to chnage the altitude and confirm the change.

Thank you Chris! Much appreciated!
