TOViper Posted January 2 Posted January 2 (edited) Hey guys @ED! Can we please have a Kollsman window for reading the pressure setting in the main barometric altimeter? Currently it doesn't make sense to have keybindings to change the pressure setting without reading it somewhere. IRL the window is placed on the right bottom area of the instrument: Thanks & keep up working on the F-15C!

Pavlin_33 Posted January 6 Posted January 6 Well technically it's not useless, 'cause you can still set your altimeter to read zero before takeoff, i.e QFE. 1 i5-4690K CPU 3.50Ghz @ 4.10GHz; 32GB DDR3 1600MHz; GeForce GTX 1660 Super; LG IPS225@1920x1080; Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB; Windows 10 Pro
TOViper Posted January 7 Author Posted January 7 You cannot set QNH in flight, nor set QFE in flight, so IT IS useless. 4 Visit https://www.viggen.training ...Viggen... what more can you ask for? my computer: AMD Ryzen 5600G 4.4 GHz | NVIDIA RTX 3080 10GB | 32 GB 3.2 GHz DDR4 DUAL | SSD 980 256 GB SYS + SSD 2TB DCS | TM Warthog Stick + Throttle + TRP | Rift CV1
MikeMikeJuliet Posted April 27 Posted April 27 I second this. Sure, you can set the pressure setting to anything on the ground if you have the reference altitude (so either zero it if setting QFE, or set it to the aerodrome altitude if using QNH), but there is no way to reliably alter the pressure airborne since you have no reference to set it with. For those who don't know: as the air pressure changes either with time or you moving from A to B, the altimeter has to be reset in the air at the very least for landing. DCS doesn't have a proper simulation of airmasses yet (the old dynamic weather front system is horrible to use), but as the dynamic weather is introduced at some point this *WILL* become a problem for the F-15C pilots. Not a matter of if, but when. Altimeter setting is one of the handful of critical things any airman must handle. ED please get this fixed 6 DCS Finland | SF squadron
