Altimeter QNH indication

Cheers,

I haven't flown the Lear in a while and have now updated to 4.3c. Did I miss something or does the altimeter have no QNH / hectopascal option anymore? 

If not, is there a conversion table which I can stick to the panel? 😁

The backup altimeter below the center of the AP panel shows the QNH setting in both inches and hectopascals.

Also, if you go to Options - General - Units of Measure in P3D and select Hybrid or Metric, the primary altimeters will display the QNH in hectopascals. Either one of these options will also change the P3D Fuel and Payload option under the P3D Vehicle menu to the metric system  (the Lear's Payload Manager 2D popup will remain in Pounds, however).

Thank you, that changed the unit. Now I have to change the setting depending on in which airspace I'm flying 😜

Wouldn't it be possible to add a switching option to the primary altimeter (which is digital anyway)? I remember the older versions of the Lear had this option.

Actually the real one has this function and if it was also existing in the older verions, it would be nice to have that implemented in next version again 🙂
