Nialfb Posted April 20 Posted April 20 When flying the A-10C out of Gaziantep, the barometric pressure is 2762. When I try and adjust down to that in the mission I can only get down to 2790 which is still 300ft AGL. I can't get it to zero. Any ideas?

Solution Volator Posted April 20 Solution Posted April 20 (edited) Do not set QFE (i.e. setting the altimeter to 0), set QNH (which is the elevation of the runway/airbase in relation to MSL as published in the respective aerodrome charts), which is given in the briefing screen. The local QFE given by in-game ATC is a remnant of DCS' Ka-50 roots and a Russian thing. An A-10 would operate with QNH which is the (calculated) pressure at MSL.

Lace Posted April 20 Posted April 20 Yeah, you really don't need to worry about QFE on any aircraft with a RADALT. Just set QNH as above. Even IRL altimeters have hard limits on how far up or down you can wind them. Laptop Pilot.
