Altimeter Settings

[pylet]

Anyone know how to change from standard US altimeter readings of 29.92 to make it reading a QNH of 10.13mb? I had to reload my B-GC PFD software and now all I get is a millibar readout. Can't find it in the ini or the menu.

Thanks in advance,

If you have access to a keyboard on that machine you would hit the insert key.

Bob can you not select MB on the MCP?

[Bob Reed]

Ya know... I have not looked at the software when it was running in so long... That is one of the things having the hardware does.... I do not remember.

I have the older style FDS MCP and it doesn't have that capability so I used RealVNC and accessed that PC, hit the INSERT Key and woo hoo! Back in business. Would be nice if I could change it inflight for maybe a pond crossing sometime.

Thanks for the quick reply and help!

Using FSUIPC you could....Assign it to a keystroke or a switch... Go flight?

[Trevor Hale]

I am sure there is an offset for that function, maybe you can assign a switch on your interface board to trigger the offset.

That's true. As soon as I get my pedestal and overhead I can release some of the functions on my yoke for that. Thanks for the suggestions.
