Something is wrong 493 feet shown as 7500

Featured Replies

When I stand at Save airport ESGP(493 feet) in Sweden and press B, the height is shown as 7500 feet. This also applies if I have live weather. What does this depend on and has anyone experienced this. Of course, I have tried with other airports with the same results.

1015 when I load the aircraft. Press B and 8000 feet and 960 mb. I have tried several aircraft so its not just The JF Piper. Same thing if I restart the sim.

Are you using preset weather or Live weather ?

As I can see now, the altimeter rolls backwards 2000 ft when I press B and stay at 8. It does not matter if it is preset or live weather. Regardless of aircraft or airport.

The problem solved though I do not know the real cause. I deleted the current keyboard profile and replaced it with a new one. Then everything worked perfectly ok. I can not understand how this could have affected. Case closed. Thanks for the answers.
