March 25, 201610 yr Just found this: You can edit the panel.cfg file:gauge08=GAUGEC2!Gauge_ALTIMETER_DIGITAL, 0, 0,269,269replace bygauge08=GAUGEC2!Gauge_ALTIMETER_DIGITAL inHG, 0, 0,269,269 Note: Be sure to include the space between DIGITAL and inHG! Bert

Thank you, Bert! That altimeter setting always bugged me.
April 10, 201610 yr Rats! The panel edit doesn't work for me - just get an empty reading on the gauge, and yes, I put in the space
August 31, 20178 yr Hi, I wanted to inform whoever made this fix, that it does not work for me. I put the space, and everything but still no luck. Is there another way to change it?
October 2, 20178 yr Author I just had another look.. and found that I skipped over a rather important part of the process. Sorry about that You need to open up the altimeter_digital gauge, replace one section which is commented out, by another and save it as gauge_altimeter_ digital in hg.xml... <Element id="ALTIMETER_INHG"> <FloatPosition>230.000,270.000</FloatPosition> <Visibility>(A:CIRCUIT GENERAL PANEL ON, bool)</Visibility> <GaugeText id="ALT_INHG"> <Bright>True</Bright> <FontColor>burlywood</FontColor> <FontFace>LCD_Mono</FontFace> <FontHeight>40</FontHeight> <GaugeString>%((A:KOHLSMAN SETTING HG:2, inHg))%!5.2f!</GaugeString> <HorizontalAlign>LEFT</HorizontalAlign> <Size>200,40</Size> <Transparent>True</Transparent> </GaugeText> </Element> <!-- <Element id="ALTIMETER_MBAR"> <FloatPosition>250.000,265.000</FloatPosition> <Visibility>(A:CIRCUIT GENERAL PANEL ON, bool)</Visibility> <GaugeText id="ALT_MBAR"> <Bright>True</Bright> <FontColor>burlywood</FontColor> <FontFace>LCD_Mono</FontFace> <FontHeight>40</FontHeight> <GaugeString>%((A:KOHLSMAN SETTING MB:2,mbar))%!4d!</GaugeString> <HorizontalAlign>LEFT</HorizontalAlign> <Size>200,40</Size> <Transparent>True</Transparent> </GaugeText> </Element> --> Maybe easier to send me a PM with your email address and I can send you the edited file..

Bert, would you mind sending me this gauge along with a quick run down of how to install? Chase Barnett
