The actual latest official is here https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/documentation/dcs-f15e_flight_manual_en/

You seem to be looking at an older version of the manual. Those sections are way more filled out in the most recent. Though it doesn't seem to say much about what the bar setting does. I'd probably guess it has to do with how tall the area the scan covers though. At least that's what most bar settings do in relation to radars.

If it does get added in the future, I'd love it they could be 2 separate options. While I love the imperial markings outside the altimeter, I don't care as much about the distance scale. (And I found the 1x / 10x indicator the mod used to be less clear/slower to parse than the mil / km from the normal one) EDIT: I'd also be just fine if you just release it as a separate mod/cockpit we can choose to install ourselves if we want it.

I'm not sure this can be classified as a "bug". While it's not realistic, is it working as HB designed it.

I think that might be from when the kneeboard pack was newly released, these days you can just drop the image files in the correct kneeboard folder and they'll work just fine

Does this mean that the @MYSE1234 cockpit textures mod is no longer needed? And if it's no longer needed, what about the altimeter foot scale sub-mod?

Are you adding/removing power after selecting your desired altitude?

It'll repeatedly take screenshots of the display when RCD is active, how often depends on what screen is shown.

Iirc, it should be the same process from either seat. Just do the command to take command of the display twice.

They are literally only showing it with VR hands in the video.

Someone did find a workaround...

There's already about thread about that... https://forum.dcs.world/topic/333485-altitude-button-does-not-engage/

There hasn't been an update yet... But soon™

That does make it sound like my theory is correct then, and it should really be in the ON position on a cold start.

Having taken a quick look at the IRL manual, the before engine start checklist only says to check/verify that the generator is set to ON. Which might suggest that it's really supposed to be left in the ON state.
