Su-27 Altimeter Settings

[pauldy]

If your airbase is in a higher elevation area (e.g. Mineralnye Vody, Beslan, etc..), do you set your altimeter to the aerodrome's elevation? or leave it as is?

..a bit confusing for me coming from the Eagle, wherein the pressure altimeter is automatically set to the airfield's altitude.

Thanks^

I guess, if you want to fly like an Eagle, set it to the aerodrome elevation. In practice, I seldom change it unless I’m flying in low visibility.

I see.. I guess i'll just leave it as it is then.

 There’s no reason not to reset it. It’s just that, for now in DCS, there’s usually little reason to do so.
