PDMG and altimeter setting

[Launchbury]

They should be sent back to Turboprops.

So Joe, you saying you change your altimeter setting the PDMG way and back to pressure altitude without getting a FSP penality? Are
your altimeter
setting green at the bottom of the ND display at cruise? Please post a screenshot of you at cruise level! If that's the case there is
something
seriously wrong with my FSP cause I get the penality if I land for not setting the altimeter correctly.

Now I have a PPL (more than 300hrs total) with ME rating and 25 hours training IF (15 to go) so I'm am well aware of when and how to
change altimeter
settings!

This is the only screenie I have available on the 747 cockpit at altitude. Not sure if you will be able to make out the "green" STD. Here it is
anyway. I can try to make some other screenies today so that you will see what I have been trying to convey to you.

I admire your patience Capt. Joe. But I doubt if this pilot comprehends that pushing STD when in low air pressure will not raise the altimeter setting
to 2992 regardless if you are using FSP or not.

[c210]

Of course it does!! Change your altimeter setting to 29.00 and press STD. The altimeter tape will jump to reflect 29.92.

Why don't you just reset the altimeter with FS9 and PMDG? You can't go wrong then

So Brain, if you don't know what people are talking aboutor know the aircraft rather don't comment!!!

I sincerely hope you won't be requiring further help from the members of this forum.

Such an attitude is totally out of place and downright rude!

Echo that.

FsP is not a forum to bash say how bad all those "n00bs" are.

Joeflyer...actually you should have received an altimeter setting penalty as you were flying at 34000' with an altimeter setting of
29.91

You get the prize for details! Hehehehe! Actually, no...it's the secondary altimeter and does not reset automatically if you press "B" for
instance. You have to manually set it anyway. Most of the time I do set it, but the screenie was a sample for you know who If I'm not
mitsaken, FsP "reads" the primary altimeter only. Which means, if the co-pilot's side altimeter was not set properly, would you get an
altimeter penalty?

Joeflyer,

Thanx, It def not working with me so I just circumvent and do the 'L 1013' then press STD :D Going back down just the reverse
