To know which QNH is the correct one you need to listen to ATIS frequencies at the airport or if under ATC guidance the controller will tell you the QNH to set.Markus

Thanks Marcus, So Ineed to have default FSX ATC on to get this information or can I leave it off and just tune the radio To the local ATIS? This applies more to landing at an airport.Andrew
