PE_Tigar 发布于2015年4月7日 发布于2015年4月7日 In all training missions I've played so far, barometric altimeter in MiG-21bis shows altitude in thousands of feet (long needle) and 10,000s of feet (short needle), despite me setting the cockpit language to Russian and units to metric in settings (the interface language is English). All this in 1.2.16 latest stable build (not beta). I'd take a screenshot, but my SSD just died yesterday, so I'd be able to add that sometime later today (hopefully).

Looking forward to see that screenshot! Everything in the MiG-21 is metric, including the altimeter(s). The long needle points to the outer scale (0-1000 m; 10 m per tick), the short one points to the inner scale which is calibrated to km (1000 m per tick). The language settings have no influence on this and the measurement units that you can choose only affect the mission editor (and the status bar of the F2 view). But there is a mod available that changes the gauges to imperial units. Perhaps you accidentally installed that?

Negative on the mod, plus I did do a repair of DCS (twice for good measure) - that should've switched it back I guess, even if it was installed? Anyway, it may just have been random weirdness, I'll report back when I reinstall tonight.
PE_Tigar 发布于2015年4月8日 楼主 发布于2015年4月8日 My sincere apologies - it was my mistake reading the short needle - basically at 3000 meters it sort of points to 1 on the outer scale, and I was reading the altimeter as I usually do in Cessnas and Pipers - there's only one scale there :(.

Yes, I find it a bit counter intuitive as well - one has to really have a good look at the gauge to read it right. But I am glad that the "riddle of the magic gauge" is solved now. ;o)
