Hi,I run RC4.3 on FS9 with FSUIPC. Now and then I get, while flying the PMDG MD-11, a pop-up (FS9 default flying tip) that I've a incorrect altimeter set.Flying tips however is not enabled. Furthermore I thought (but correct me if I'm wrong) that with RC4, RC would monitor the altimeter setting...or not?Any thoughts how I can 'kill' that particular flying tip? It's bugging me until I pass >FL180.

it's not me, displaying a flying tip.if there is any change in pressure, +/- .02 inches i think, you will be notified. you won't be notified above the transition altitude.maybe it's the plane. have you tried a different plane?

Hi JD,Don't get me wrong..I know for a fact that it's not RC that's showing me the Flying Tip (it's that darned FS again :( ), but I was wondering if RC wasn't, somehow, supposed to turn that thing off deep inside the FS config or so. I guess not. That's ok, no prob.Still wondering if I just can't shut it off all together.

There are two settings for tips in FS9.1.Settings/General/Show Cockpit Tool Tips (checkbox).2.Settings/Realism and Weather/Realism/Display Flying Tips (Checkbox near middle at near top).Some instruments may need 1. enabled to clarify readings. I do not have it enabled. I leave 2. disabled.Another caution is avoid using the B key to set the altimeter. It is hard coded in FS to an FAA transition level/altitude of 18,000 feet and will set your altimeter to standard pressure (29.92 in. or 1013 mb.) at or above 18,000 feet or local surface reference pressure below 18,000 feet. In non-FAA areas this varies with the ATC locality and could produce an altitude error.

Thx Ronzie. I think I have disabled #1, but not #2. The weirdest thing is that it doesn't happen all the time. Did a flight yesterday and didn't get the flying tip, but I did the day before on the same flight!Maybe it's the 0,02" difference that triggers the pop-up?Anyway...I'm gonna change #2 too.
