Hi Goran,

I'll repeat what I said on another thread: simply brilliant aircraft. THANKS!

Here's a minor suggestion: can you place a marker in the Kollsman window so we can more accurately choose the correct altimeter setting.

Also, is there a simple way to have the altimeter display hectopascals instead of Hg"?  Aussie and European pilots may well prefer the hPa subscale since our forecasts don't use Hg"

Cheers

Rich

The marker is easy.

Making another disc to show hectopascals is a little bit of work.  I know Tom did it with his Falco so I will consider it.

For this, you can use Visual Altimeter:

Thanks for the heads-up. Nice plugin. Another way to do quickly check the HG" equivalent is to go into X-Plane's weather settings and switch the QNH units setting between hPa and HG". X-Plane shows the current QNH converted to whatever unit is selected.

I guess the pilots of this aeroplane must have some kind of conversion table to hand?

I think in most parts of the world they're using an altimeter with both units: millibars (hectopascal) and inches of mercury.
