[REPORTED]Altimeter Lag

Altimeter lags excessively.

Compare these two screenshots:

Note the discrepancy of altitute in external view status bar and cockpit altimeter of 300 ft.

According to Altimeter Lag Chart, lag should only be 50 ft.

Perhaps an obvious question, but one that needs to be asked: do the F2 and cockpit altimeter readings match exactly when you're straight and level?

Not exactly, they are about 100 ft off if I remember correctly. I am not exactly sure why that is (altimeter is set to QNH), perhaps some sort of installation error. Anyhow it is a different question alltogheter. Adjusted by this deviation the lag even gets 100 ft worse, so it is defenitely a problem.

In 45 Degree Dive at 500KIAS Altimeter lag is 415ft chart shows it should be 110ft.

Any news on this? It has been over half a year and the altimeter still doesn't work correctly during dives.

I was just going to ask the same. Fixing this is key to getting good accuracy with the bombing charts.

At the risk of necroposting, I too would like to know the status of this. I am noticing considerable altimeter lag (+300-400 feet), which makes using real-life bomb tables especially difficult.

It has been over a year now. Any news on this problem?

Still not fixed

Still not fixed, first time reported 27.7.2017, let me remind you that this product is out of beta.

So, 4 years later (!) and something as simple as an altimeter is still not working correctly in this "released" module.

Ka-50 suffer of the same bug

Altimeter is shifted

F-5 effectively abandonware? Nahhh...

It's sad to witness, with the F-5 being the blue representative of a very cool mil-aviation era. There are so many issues with the F-5 now, and while BN stated in another thread they are still working on the F-5, it's fair to question whether there will be any improvement with other, bigger projects going on at the same time and new, big projects coming up.

I'll put my hopes on the upcoming F-4, but that's going to be a painfully long time until we can fly it.
