I'm consistently getting a difference in Altimeter setting in MSFS vs PF3 with PF3 usually 50' - 100' lower sitting on the ground. It's not a big deal but I am wondering why the difference.

You may want to try changing the following option in your PF3.ini file: Change CalibratedAltitude=1 to CalibratedAltitude=0

Dave spent many hours looking at altitude mismatches in MSFS prior to releasing 3.22.0, and there were a number of internal changes to PF3; it looks as if he removed the option to 'Use Calibrated Altitude' from the MSFS tweaks page (I can't see it), so this could be a leftover from a prior release.

I'm sure that Dave will jump in when he is back online, but you may want to try this in the meantime.

Cheers,
Martin
