Hi reflected!

I'm currently flying the phantom's red flag and artic thunder, and I was wondering if altimeter settings are taken into considaration.

in artic thunder with the datalink I noticed that often my leader is flying at a different altiture than the briefed one, so I reckoned maybe I'm on the wrong altimeter setting. How do you set your campaings? are we supposed to fly always on qnh? or once cleared to a flight level switch to qne? I'm not an expert in how military set their altimeters but I guess them too switch to standard above transition altitude.

Oh ok, I tought you were manually offsetting the altitudes to correct for the altimeter setting (i.e. FL 260 with qnh 1000 on the ground, 13hpa to std, 13*27 (ft*hpa) = 351 ft, so setting the ai to fly 25,649ft) but I guess I was reading too much into it. 

So in your campaings it is correct not to change the altimeter but to keep it in qnh correct?
