flanker0ne Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) The QNH/QFE setting window have a constant 5mmHg shift, like the texture on the disk, or the disk itself, are badly positioned.

flanker0ne Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 This is what I mean with 5mm (of mercury) SCOPRI DI PIU': https://www.amvi.it/joinus.php DISCORD COMBINEDOPS The Battle Planning Tool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holton181 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 760 mmHg is the standard pressure, in aviation referred to as QNE to be set in the Kollsman window. The red line at 760 mmHg is just printed on for quick reference.

flanker0ne Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Yes the red line you referring is on the disk, but the thin black vertical line of the windows is always on the 755 mmHg.

XPACT Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Hmm not sure that I understand the issue, seems to work as expected for me, tho in my opinion black vertical line that shows current position should be thicker. These are with cockpit lights on, black line can be seen without lights also but it's even harder EDIT: also the barometric altimeter scale pressure (mmHg) to altitude (meters) is accurate since in these pictures difference in altitude should equal to around 70m and that is exactly the case Edited April 3, 2020 by XPACT Better example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holton181 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Yes the red line you referring is on the disk, but the thin black vertical line of the windows is always on the 755 mmHg. Does the black line move with the disk when you change the setting? I'm not sure if I understand the issue here?

flanker0ne Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Tick red line @ 760mmHg (std atm) on the turning disk Thin black fixed wire on the instrument is the reference If you want to reproduce try the Cold Start in Mozdok quick mission: Mission dataQNH=766mmHg Mozdok elev.=155m QFE=752.52 Cockpit readingsAltimeter 755mmHg (as always from last cockpit uptate) Elev=85m If you set the QNH, you read 200m (no 155m) If you enter 155m you read a pressure 5mmHg different from QFE The pressure setting disk, or the texture on it, is not oriented correctly Edited April 3, 2020 by flanker0ne SCOPRI DI PIU': https://www.amvi.it/joinus.php DISCORD COMBINEDOPS The Battle Planning Tool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holton181 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 If you enter 155m you read a pressure 5mmHg different from QFE I assume a typo here. You ment QNH, right? QFE is supposed give 0m on the altimeter. I might try this later if I get the time.

Blackjack_UK Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I think what he's saying is that if he sets his altimeter to the QNH then the altitude shown is different to the airfield elevation. And if he sets it so that it reads 155m, which is the correct airfield elevation, then it's 5mmHg out from the correct QNH. So yeah, a typo (probably - apologies if I misunderstood) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPACT Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Yes indeed the scale seems to be shifted, not sure how I didn't catch it immediately tho :doh: If you for example set QFE by airport instructions (or look at the briefing) it won't give you 0 altitude instead everything is shifted by X amount It is shifted for around +6.5mmHg :joystick: EDIT: Isn't Mozdok at altitude of around 135-140m? that would fit in perfectly with both QFE and QNH being off by +6.5mm?

flanker0ne Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Yes guys sorry, thanks for your patience @Holton181 yes I meant QNH It's simple, the Ka-50 is not benefitted with an "automatic pressure", as other modules have (like Huey). Until the cockpit doens't start at 760mmHg, the bug still present.

Holton181 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 So, just tested the Cold Start at Mozdok, and at least in that mission you seem to be right. The disk is about 5~6mmHg off. I also did some calculations (with an online aviation calculator) and the QNH and QFE are correct for the elevation. I haven't tested any other mission, so can't be sure it's not a mission specific bug, but I find it unlikely to be.
