May 4, 200521 yr Hi,Never tried, but maybe you can add somewhere the pressure diff. in feet to one of the altimeters.I think 1 mbar is about 10 feet.So make a L:Var:1013.25 (A:ambient pressure,mbar) - 10 * (>L:alt diff,number)For the altimeter add:(A:Indicated Altitude,feet) (L:alt diff,number) +So there will be a difference in indication between the 2 altimeters.For your special case i think you can work it out.Hope it helps,Jan"Beatus Ille Procul Negotiis" Jan "Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."
May 4, 200521 yr Correction,Instead of ambient- use sea level pressure; just tried and it works.Jan"Beatus Ille Procul Negotiis" Jan "Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."
May 5, 200521 yr Hi,Thanks for the reply. The linear approximation for the pressure lapse rate only works for low altitudes, but I may still be able to use this method after making it properly (and probably unnecessarily) complicated.Lee B.
