Altimeter - 1013 mbar corresponds always to sea level pressure, regardless of ME baro setting

[gulredrel]

Hello,

as the title says, for the altimeter to show correct altitude above sea level, you always have to set it to 1013 mbar, regardless of the mission editor barometric setting. I did the following settings in Kobuleti cold ramp start, where field elevation is around 60 ft.

Mission editor QNH: 760 mmHG - 1013 mbar - standard OKAY

   

Mission editor QNH: 753 mmHG - 1004 mbar (test below standard pressure)

altimeter 60 ft you need to set 1013 mbar:

When setting QNH of 1004 mbar, it will show -750 ft at ground level in Kobuleti (I think it stopped at this value earlier, cause the instrument is unable to show lower vaue)

Mission editor QNH: 775 mmHG - 1033 mbar (test above standard pressure)

altimeter 60 ft you need to set 1013 mbar:

When setting QNH of 1033mbar, it will show 2700 ft at ground:

 

But now for some flying... trying some non standard settings and running in issues where I need to find out, if it's me or not who is doing strange things. Working in software quality assurance real life I'm infected with the need to do some root cause analysis 

So @6S.Duke don't slap your coders or me. DCS is quite complex and really needs fundamental testing. So many things to deal with.

PS: Tracks show complete ramp start takeoff and an ILS approach. In some occasions I have the problem, that the glide slope does not work. It stays at the bottom of the ADI, no off flag visible. Clean new mission didn't have this, so maybe it's something with the different mission, which was copied from stable and I only changed player aircraft to MB-339 or something completely different with sequence of switching from TACAN to RNAV or VOR and so on...

PPS: It's related to the following and we thought there was no bug, but it only really works as intended with standard pressure set in ME, so I created the new thread with details above:

Thanks for checking

Jens

Still bugged in 2024. The altimeter indicates correctly only in missions with default atmospheric pressure (1013 mbar).

Yes, indeed, also realized this report is quite old when dealing with the other report on the altimeter baro setting to lowest value when hot starting.

Hi @6S.Duke, sorry for pinging, but can you tell us something about the roadmap regarding fixing the old bugs? There are also a bunch of them in the discord bug channel. I guess you are busy with the cooperation with HB on the other sim's projects that may be also more profitable, but a little love here would be nice. Also features like working flight director are missing.

Hi :)
The other sim activities are paused and we are back on the 339 and G91.
Unfortunately we cannot provide a roadmap, but I can say that FD and other bugfixes are in progress.
