ATC PRESSURE ALTITUDE ERROR

Featured Replies

Good Morning fellow colleagues,

 

On MSFS2020 for some strange reason the prefered pressure altitute even set as european metric system on options for atc menu to QNH it still reads as the USA inches of mercury, for example "QNH 29.92" rather than the correct terminology QNH 1013,

 

Also is there anyway FSTL can read out the whole airline atc call sign as the chinese registered airline only use their country of registration rather than their given call sign?

 

All assistance will be much appreciated

Yes this is correct, only US barometric pressure will be issued by ATC worldwide, unfortunately. Other parts of the world have to adapt...

Chinese aircraft will be referred to as Bravo XXX, not their airlines, this is again something forgotten by Asobo/Microsoft. I have no idea if this was rectified on 2024 since I am still with 2020, would be interested to hear that from users.
