Might be based on the aircraft they studied (hope not). I know that one of the 152s Asobo used (the F152A) was a Reims Cessna, so presumably that would be on millibars.

That's how you do it in the actual G1000. Not sure if it's modelled in MSFS. (I'm not from Kiribati).

There's no way.

You mean hectopascals I guess.

Yeah it doesnt have the button option on the garmin to change the units unfortunately 😞

Btw, notice that when I try to connect to vatsim, I get very bad fps/stutters. 

Well that’s bad news then. Also I totally don’t want to mess with fuel and weight figures in gal/lbs. Totally not. FSX had that switch… that apparently didn’t make it into this version. Definitely needs a fix imho.

The airliners can switch between hectopascals and in/hg, but don’t think any of the G-1000 aircraft can (yet).

Thanks for clearing that up, guys!

Wow, that's quite the oversight for something so basic!

Not exactly what you were asking for, but I had two aircraft in FSX that used exclusively millibars in the altimeters so I devised this.  I have it as a pdf file on my iPad and iPhone for when I fly those two aircraft.  Leave it to a former weatherman...  The whole table is there.  If you right-click on it you can save it as an image file.

Thanks Frank. You have the honor of being the 2nd archived post in the "MSFS Tips and Tricks" forum! That is a handy chart.

Should I upload the .pdf to the library?  If so where?  The drag and drop feature of the forum does not accept .pdf.

Zip the PDF and upload to the Library if you like. I can then edit the post in Tips and Tricks to include a direct link.

"Changing from Inches to millibar?"

I'm sure there is some very good humor to be had with that Title!  Hmmm.....

Perfect answer, as always Frank!

Done. Put it to begin with in the Utilities library as it bridges all simulation.  Reposition at your discretion.  I did not find any specific MSFS library.  Did I miss it?
