ALT Disagree?

[bluepilot76 0]

As already stated, go into the settings of FSX and change away to IMPERIAL. I thought I was on imperial as well untill I got this aircraft. There is 3 settings in there if I recall correctly Metric, Imperial and a sort of mixed up one. I was on the mixed up one. If you notice, when your altimeter says 1000 you are actually at 3280feet. There are 3.28 feet to the metre.

I am an experienced RT pilot, I know how to setup and read an altimeter

Which post are you referring to?

The original post in this thread. However I did mostly skim over it and missed the part about the alt disagree..

Alternatively did you by any chance accidently click the switch that changes between metres and feet. its just to the left of the subscale knob if I recall correctly. There are other options in the PMDG part of the FMC related to altimeter setup I think.

I think I would have noticed that. If you read my post the altimeter in PFD is frozen while the standby alt is working

Hi Delta, I was directing my advice to the OP and anyone else that might have problems with this aspect of the sim, obviously this would not apply to you.

No worries, cheers!

Hello, Try setting the units of measure parameter in the General settings of FSX to U.S. System I had the same problem and found out that Capt PFD displayed altitude in meters but the F/O in feets. I hope it helps,Balázs Patyi

Thats it - that did..... I've just testet this one time, but everything looked perfect. Thank you for your help everyone.

Glad your sorted. When it happened to me on my first flight I thought I had some sort of static pressure line problem! And I was thinking, wow this is one hell of a good sim!
