How to determine if Kolhsman is set to Standard?

[Engjell Berisha 1]

I'm creating a PFD, it has a display that shows the kohlsman setting but when it's at 29.92 it displays the letters STD. I can't work out mathematically how to define when this is. I've tried this:(A:KOHLSMAN SETTING HG,inHg) 29.92 - <Althought this yeilds a infinitely small number and not zero as I had hopped>I tried using visible tags but (A:KOHLSMAN SETTING HG,inHg) 29.92 == nor (A:KOHLSMAN SETTING HG,inHg) 29.92 != work.

IIRC FS uses MBars natively then does internal conversions to show InHg. I suppose you could try (A:KOHLSMAN SETTING MB, millibars) 1013 == -or- even better just use a range in InHg -----> 29.919 29.921 (A:KOHLSMAN SETTING HG,inHg) rng Roman

yeah, I agree with Roman – use millibars in your script…then display inHg if req’d.As I recall I had this problem too, and things only worked after I switched to millibars.here's another variation using near

(A:KOHLSMAN SETTING MB,Millibars) near 1013 == if{ #STD# }

Thank You guys, only romans rng approach worked, nothing else worked not even the millibars.

Not sure if this is of any use, I created it for a gent in Sth Africa to use on the default Cessna .It gives a read out in either inches or Hpa/millibars and can set the datum.CheersKarol
