QNH setting on 737NG for FS9

Featured Replies

Hi All,Whenever I start a flight with the 737NG for FS9 my Altimeter setting is standard on inches of mercury, where in most of the rest of the world it's given in Hectopascals, or millibars. Since I fly mostly in Europe I would like to have it displayed on the PFD in millibars (1013).Is there a way of changing this? I know there's a click spot on top of the EFIS, but I am building my own cockpit and that panel is hidden from few.Thanks for any tips.Jeroen Bos

No you have to use the button to change the units to whatever is used in your end of the world. But if I recall correctly FS might change the reporting units from ATC by changing the Settings from US to International.Hope it helps,

For changing it from Inches to Millibars, there is a default key command "CTRL+TAB+B".

Dont they have to change this setting in RL too? Don't the real pilots take off in countries using inches and land in countries using hectopascals? (or the opposite). So therefore they would need to switch from one to the other in flight?If so, I think Jeroen should see if he can find a way to fix his panel so the switch is visible and usable. And that switch is needed for setting the QNH in flight isnt it?In the PMDG EFIS it's a clickspot, but what happens in the real aircraft? Is that one of those concentric dual switches?
