Airline Lesson 2 altimeter seeting

Featured Replies

I'm trying to get through the lesson 2: decent and energy management,Whenever I land at the end, no matter how light I'm touching down, it still say I have crashed my plane.Seems like the reason is that I have the wrong altimeter setting, but I don't know what to set it to.Try getting the ATIS for Seattle, but I got no response.I just try to set the altimeter to some crazy value and pass it once, but can't repeat it anymore.So anyone know what is the exact setting for the altimeter?Or how to get the plane to land without triggering the crashing alarm.Thanks,

Hi,The altimeter is dependent on the local air pressure and you were right to get it from the ATIS.A quick way to set your altimeter to local pressure is by pressing the 'B' key on your keyboard.

Location: Vleuten, The Netherlands, 17.3dme SPL 108.40 | Simulator: FS2024
System: AMD 7800X3D - Gigabyte X670 - RTX 4090 - 64GB DDR5 - 2 x 2TB SSD - 32" 1440p Display - Windows 11 Pro

You can get the altimeter setting from ATC or ATIS.You can also press the B key to make FS set it automatically.To land softly you need to reduce your speed of descent just before touchdown.Just watch as the runway gets closer and when you are just about to touch down gently pull up the nose

thanks a bunch.I was trying to see if i can just use the ILS all the way to touchdown, but I guess i have to flare to make a smooth landing.I used just ILS for touchdown in lesson 3, and I didn't get any complaint, so I thought it could be repeated for lesson 2.
