Altimeters desyndec

[S3rg1o]

I din’t find any report on this issue but I have a desyncronization between the two pilot side altimeter gauges as the video shows. Also on de right side gauge the undreds of feet is stuck at “000”. It happens on both climb and descent.

The right one is the standby altimeter, it is inherently inaccurate - on the 747 I fly now it is often "wrong" in excess of 300 feet.

But even with the same QNH set on both it get's desynced, is this accurate as it is? I remember seeing both synced, before the patch.

however, the hundreds of feet counter stuck at 000 it's not normal, and it will be fixed, correct?

thanks.

Ah, I see the 100 drum not rolling...that is probably a bug and will be fixed!

Here is a short video I took in my 747-400 just a few days ago:

Oh, and I just checked - the "drum" on the standby altimeter for the "hundreds" of feet does not turn on the real 737, either:

So, in short, it's accurate with the desync and "drum" not rolling... there's nothing to fixed, I think..

Yes, I think this is working as it should.
