How do I change the default settings for the barometer?

 

What I mean is, that every time I start the 737 NGX I change it from inHg to hPa. And I have to change it two different places. It would be awesome if I didn't have to change it every time I start up the airplane.

Set them to hPa, then save the panel state (and load when you start a new flight)? That's what I do.

Thanks. That would be one way to do it, but I think I've seen a thread once herein where it's done in some sort of a *.ini file. And I would like to know what to write and in what specific file to write it.

I prefer to change it myself depending on which region iam flying in, and besides it doesnt take that long to change it anyway no big deal for me

Peter,

 

Punctuation?? A full stop here and there in your posts once in a while would not hurt and it would certainly make life easier on your readers. Please - enough is enough!

Sorry. Apology accepted.

Peter,

 

go to your Microsoft '...\Flight Simulator X\PMDG\PMDG 737 NGX\PanelState\' folder. Open the .SAV file you want to alter - i. e. NGX SHORT.SAV - and search the follwing entry

 

Baro Switch=0

 

Change the value form '0' to '1'. The next time you load the NGX SHORT.SAV the Baro should be set to hPa. Make sure that you make a proper backup of the file before altering it, so you can go back if there's a problem.

I find more confortable to load the flight and save it against searching the file, opening, find the string, modify it and then load fsx.

Hope that your going to be consistent in the "punctuation police" of the other users, time will tell.

Well Andrea...but that doesn't answer Peter's question, looking for a file he could alter... :wacko:

That's true

Thank you so very much.

Do you also know where I can change to hPa in the picture shown beneath?
