But since we don't all live (or fly) in the US, clicking the Baro button is a better thing to do... ;) For instance in the Netherlands trans alt is 6000 and it's not wise to wait until you are at FL180 before switching... BTW It's quit irritating that the FS ATC keeps talking about 29.92 Inch instead of 1013 Hpa when you're flying above Europe...
