Problem with barometic pressure

Featured Replies

Hi!A few days ago i tried a flight from LOWI to LPMA. I built a flightplan in .PLN and processed it via th NEW ROUTE button. The problem, as you can see in the image, is that LOWI reports 1016HPa of baro pressure. However when I hit B to reset my baro pressure on the altimeter, it reads 1020HPa! And the 1020HPa are correct because the elevation of LOWI is 1900', again as you can see at the image.So I found that these 1020HPa were in fact the baro pressure of my destination airport - LPMA!! Found this doing a fetch for LPMA at the AS6 menu.I tried everything, disable this, disable that... no results!!I discovered that this only happens when I process a flightplan via the 'NEW ROUTE' button - to have a more consistent flight. If I do not use this option everything is fine!So, anybody knows or has this problem also?Waiting for some answers!Besr regards! ;-) http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/153039.jpg

Hi,It sounds like you have the option "Force Constant Route Pressure" enabled, which indeed just does as you described, forcing the destination pressure across the entire flight so there are no variations. This option is useful for those flying very high or very fast (i.e. supersonic) and the airplane can't cope with changing baro pressure very well. In your case however I recommend this option be turned off.Best,

Afirmative, it was enabled.It is working now.Thank you for your support, Damian!;-) Regards
