Reseting the altimeter

Featured Replies

Hi all;Before I began using FSUIPC to program flight controls etc. I always setup a button to reset my altimeter. Since moving to FSUIPC I am unable to find a way to do that now. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?. Thanks in advance...........................John

If you mean reset the barometer pressure, the key "B" does that. Just use FSUIPC to program a joystick button press to send the "B" command.Peter

Thank you Peter I had forgotten all about that word "BAROMETRIC" LOLJohn

Gents,I've read elsewhere pressing B to set standard pressure only works correctly for the US where the TA is 18000ft.A better option would be to assign two buttons to Kohlsman Inc and Kohlsman Dec via a registered copy of FSUIPC. That way you can increment / decrement the altimeter pressure to 29.92 / 1013.2.

It works correctly if you are below your known transition Alt anywhere in the world (unless your TA is >18,000 ft) !!But yes Ray you are correct, it will not give you the correct QNH if you are above TA but still below 18,000 feet as FS9 assumes that is TA everywhere.Peter
