Reset Altimeter ('B' Key) in FS2004 - Functionality Changed?

Featured Replies

I've noticed that pressing 'B' in FS2004 sets the altimeter to 29.92. In previous versions, pressing 'B' set the altimeter to the pressure of the local field. Is there equivilent functionality in FS2K4 or is the old 'B' key behavior forever gone the way of the dodo bird?

I think(???) that 29.92 is the setting for higher altitudes irrespective of where you are. Kinda above all weather.The B key does work if you are at ground level, or are given new QNH by ATC. Also is weather changes it will set QNH.I asume you are using real weather.RonaldGlasgow

B sets altimiter to standard if you use PSS aircrafts, in that case, just re-assign reset altimiter to shift B or something.

That's what it was apparently. Changed to SHIFT+B and all is right and true in the universe :) Thanks..
