You are obviously flying somewhere in Europe.If have one of the modern add-on planes, you can configure your PFD settings and readouts to switch back and forth between millibars/inches.My Eaglesoft Citation does that. 29.92 inches = 1013 millibars.:-spacecraft

how can i get rc4 to give me the qnh in millibars instead of inchesRC4 will give always the pressure setting in the format appropriate to the area in which you are flying. In what we class as the 'FAA area' - essentially North America - inches of mercury are used and in the 'ICAO area' - essentially the rest of the world - hectopascals/millibars are used.If you are asking if there is a setting you can change to force RC4 to always use hectopascals wherever you are flying, then the answer is "no".Pete
