ATC always seems to give the altimeter setting for QNH which gives altitude above sea level. Is there any way in FS9 to get QFE from ATC for a specific airport to get the height above that airport?

if you know your height above sea level and you know airport's height by subtracting both you get what you want. All terminal/approach charts use altitudes above SL so this is what pilots are interested in the most.Michael J.WinXP-Home SP2,AMD64 3500+,Abit AV8,Radeon X800Pro,36GB Raptor,1GB PC3200,Audigy 2

A Radio (or is that RADAR?) Altimeter will give you your altitude above the ground. There are several gauges available to do just that. It seems like the default C208 has such a gauge. They usually only work up to about 2500' AGL. R-

QFE is a UK thing, it isn't used in the US and FS is a US product so it doesn't support it. Do as suggested, assume 30 feet per millibar and work it out by dividing the airport elevation by 30 and then subtracting that from the QNH (or adding if the field is below sea level!).If you are flying IFR, then don't bother. Even in the UK most do QNH approaches.

I guess the answer is NO!When I learned to fly (admittedly a while ago), I was taught to get QFE on approaching an aerodrome to land so that the altimeter would read zero on touchdown. Circuit heights for UK airfields are given as QFE or aal (above aerodrome level) in the offical UK AIPs, as is the height of the ATZ (Aerodrome Traffic Zone). UK approach charts show both height and altitude, as do the Jeppesen charts provded with FS9. It still seems eminently sensible to use QFE, rather than have to do mental arithmetic.
