June 12, 201411 yr Can you change the default 737 altimeter from usually 29.92 to in Europe 1013? I forget exactly what those different settings are called. I think in Europe, it's qnh. If it's possible how would I do it?
June 12, 201411 yr I believe in the settings of fsx you can choose barometric pressure to be in american or metric system or even a hybrid of the two check the setting friend.
June 12, 201411 yr Author Hey, thanks for the reply. I'll see which one works. Well, I changed the settings from U.S to metric, and when I loaded up the default 737, it didn't change it. :( Any ideas?
June 12, 201411 yr Administrators No ideas for the default aircraft unless there are some other gauges to download and install. I do have some 3rd party aircraft that show both ways (inches of mercury and millibars).

June 13, 201411 yr http://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/3381/fsx-boeing-737-800-gauge-fix/ you could try this upgraded pfd and see if that helps
June 13, 201411 yr The only way I got metric readings was to hover the mouse over the barometer calibration dial

June 14, 201411 yr think he is referring to where you imput the data into I7-8700k,Corsair h1101 cooler ,Asus Strix Gaming Intel Z370 S11 motherboard, Corsair 32gb ramDD4,, gtx 1080ti Card, RM850 power supply Peter kelberg

June 14, 201411 yr The Altimeter calibration knob has the label "STD" on it. You need to have 'Show Cockpit Tooltips' checked in Settings>Display>Aircraft and also have the metric units selected. Then hover your mouse pointer over the Altimeter Calibration knob and the tooltips popup will show the metric reading. Unfortunately the readout in the PFD remains in US mode. Would be nice if it would work like on the Airbus where the Altimeter calibration knob also let you select US or Metric and the readings on the PFD change accordingly.

Yea, I think I know what instrument it is now. I guess that would work. Thanks.
June 14, 201411 yr Administrators The standby altimeter in the default 737 reads both U.S. and European (Inches of Mercury and Millibars). Why not just look at it? No need to hoover the mouse pointer over it. Charlie AronAVSIM Board of Directors-ADMIN/Moderator-RegistrarJust going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer.
