Why does ATC cancel my IFR flight once I have reached my cruise altitude ? (FS2002)

FS2002 ATC needs you to reset your altimeter to 29.92 when you reach your cruise altitude, whatever it is (even below the real world transition altitude in use). You can do it quickly by using FSUIPC shortkeys defined in the Technical tab of the module menu. Do not forget to set the barometer back to maintain new assigned altitude changes after starting your descent.
