SYNC Pilot/Co-Pilot Instruments [SOLVED]

[fleurenf]

Hi team,

I have the SYNC Pilot/Co-Pilot Instruments ticked on the Preferences page however it doesn't sync the baro settings. I still have to action that manually.

Is that correct?

Thanks in advance.

Never mind, it appears to be for the speedbug and altimeter bug settings. Would be handy for baro settings though.

We thought about it, but there is a reason why we did not include this.

On aircraft without automatic alerting of incorrect barometric setting below/above the transition level/altitude, it is procedure to change the settings separately.

For example if you fly at FL 210 and ATC says "descend to 4000 feet, altimeter 1032", the PILOT FLYING will change his altimeter immediately to the QNH setting (so he does not forget and the plane levels of at the correct altitude), but the PNF will only change his altimeter as he passes the transition level (so that if ATC changes their mind and tells you "stop descent at FL190" you have one altimeter set to the correct STD value, still.

If we had made the altimeters sync, too - it would be impossible to follow this correct procedure with the sync enabled.
