	== ~~FSFO does not stay on top~~ ==		== Copilot executes actions at incorrect altitudes ==

	<div style="margin:0.6em 0; padding:0.8em 1em; background:#eef3fb; border-left:6px solid #1f4fa3;">		<div style="margin:0.6em 0; padding:0.8em 1em; background:#eef3fb; border-left:6px solid #1f4fa3;">
	This ~~behavior~~ is caused by ~~Windows process-level restrictions~~.		This issue is usually caused by the simulator’s Units of Measurement setting being set to Metric.
	</div>		</div>

	~~Reasons:~~		When MSFS is set to Metric, altitude-related values may be reported or interpreted in meters instead of feet. FSFO expects altitude-related values to be in feet, so the copilot may execute altitude-based actions too early or too late.

	* Windows prevents non-~~admin apps from staying above admin~~-~~level apps.~~
	* Another application may re-~~assert its “Always on Top” flag after FSFO~~.

	<div style="margin:0.6em 0; padding:0.8em 1em; background:#fdf7f2; border-left:6px solid #f0ad4e;">		<div style="margin:0.6em 0; padding:0.8em 1em; background:#fdf7f2; border-left:6px solid #f0ad4e;">
	~~Restarting FSFO reapplies its topmost flag~~, ~~but FSFO cannot remain above an admin-level window unless it is also run as Administrator~~.		Your simulator Units of Measurement setting is currently set to Metric. If you keep this setting, your copilot may perform some actions using meters instead of feet.
	</div>		</div>

	~~Workaround~~:		Fix:

			* MSFS 2024 - Go to General Options > Language > Units of Measurement and change the setting to Hybrid.
			* MSFS 2020 - Go to General Options > MISC > Units of Measurement and change the setting to Hybrid.

	* Run FSFO and FSUIPC7 at the ~~same permission level~~.		Microsoft describes Hybrid mode as a real-world aviation-style setting used in many countries outside the U.S., where altitude is shown in feet while most other measurements use metric units.
	* Or disable Always-On-Top in ~~competing applications~~.
