And if anyone knows how to make youtube clips embed, please :helpsmilie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQqs_wuzZUA Annd of course heres a vid showing an F16 at 0 on the ground. :D

Youtube is no help as I cant find any A10 takeoff or landing videos which show the HUD, other than DCS haha. The handful of F16 and 18 hud vids seem to show the baro alt set to the fields elevation above sea level, not 0 on the ground. Not saying this is correct SOP, ect. But it seems to be common practice and its what I'm used to so I think I will continue with the field altitude method. ${1}

That's what I'm wondering as well, If altitude is always 0 at field, why does ATC even bother with QFE at startup? It would only matter on approach. And it seems EXTREMELY unsafe to fly at any altitude above sea level with your alt zero'd to the field.

Thanks guys, my knowledge is all civil. 0 it is. And I guess it only really matters if you are flying from field A to field B with dynamic weather. Otherwise the pressure never changes far as I can tell.

Altitude should never be set to 0 at field elevation, unless the field is 0 feet above sea level. Set altitude to the field level, Radar altitude tells you the rest. ATC SHOULD be giving pressure in 4 digits, IE 29.92 as others have stated. just telling us 29, 30 ect is completely useless.

You should always intercept the ILS glideslope from below, this is normal. Fly at pattern altitude till the ball centers, then head on down. :thumbup:

Either air/rwy start, or edit the mission after its generated and move your helos/ai aircraft away from the battle to give yourself time to start.

Sorry for the delay, it appears this was an issue with the "monitors" setting. Not sure why but I switched from 1 to 3 and back to 1 and now everything is fine.

Also, menus are fine, and text/ect is displayed outside of the black bars. Only the sim its self is messed up.

I believe he is referring to this. I just purchased and have black bars and distorted video no matter what display/resolution options are selected. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Win7 64bit SP1 ATI 5870HD Latest Drivers
