Excuse my ignorance, but is there a way to disable the automatic switch between barometric and radar readout? I do find it a bit annoying, however if it's IRL feature then it is what it is and I'll learn to deal with.

You probably noticed that the altimeter works as RALT up to 1500m and if you don't bank too much which make it to lose ground (pun intended 🙂 ) will show BALT. It is not a bug  but a mere feature of the airframe as smaller brother to the Su-27 this is common behavior for all fighter jets from the Soviet era.

I know how radar altimeters works and how/when it's displayed in the MiG. I just wasn't sure if there's a way to force barometric only. Now after AeriaGlorias response I know that's not design feature.
