Are you flying IFR? if so then ATC will tell you what altitude to be
at.
Resume own navigation refers to routing not altitude. VFR is a
different set of rules.

He's not flying in the system, but rather he's trying to program his
flight simulator scenarios. This is a case of learning the mechanics
without understanding the system.

MS - why don't you get a copy of the instrument flying handbook or the
TERPS manual, or some other good text and learn the system? Every one of
the questions you've been asking are addressed in those and in the AIM
and FARs. These are the information sources that aspiring pilots use in
their pursuit of knowledge.
