Hi, I am flying around in the United States of America for a few days and both, the ATIS and ATC gives me (with no exception) f.i. "Altitude 1017" instead of "Altitude 30.03". So the values are QNH instead of Inches of Mercury. Dirk |

Options #1 screen and then (at the bottom) Trans Alt & Alt Baro Calls screen. Select the regions where you want baro calls in millibars. |

Greetings! I apologize for bringing back an old thread, but can someone please double check that this function works? I tried ticking all four boxes for the U.S. in the Trans Alt & Alt Baro Calls box (I checked all the available regions, actually) and I still got inches readings in the ATIS. I double checked to verify it works in a different country (using the QNH in non-U.S. setting) and FSX shows millibars in its default ATIS scrolling message. I am using 3.10.2. I just took a flight with the intention to practice using an add-on that uses millibars so that was how I discovered the PF3 setting was not working for me. Thank you very much! |

Please provide a debug log for your last flight where this problem occurred viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2929 |

Done. I started PF3, called ATIS, got inches instead of millibars, and ended PF3. |

Thanks for the log. I believe I've found the problem and the fix will be in the next release |
