iFoxRomeo Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 The pressure setting in the Kollsman window is not correct. The weather is set to standard pressure (760/1013/2992) 1. Picture: Altitude 31m, Sochi 2. Picture: QFE set to 0m. Standard when joining. 3. Picture: Setting 1013 -> wrong altitude 4. Picture: Setting 31m altitude -> wrong pressure setting Fox Spoiler PC Specs: Ryzen 9 5900X, 3080ti, 64GB RAM, Oculus Quest 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpp Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 The airport elevation changes depending on where you are at. Go to the data point which will be listed on the Sochi Taxi diagram or go to a runway touchdown zone. Elevation for Rwy 24 touchdown is 85 meters Rwy 06 touchdown zone is 35 meters Rwy 02 touchdown zone is 50 meters Rwy 20 touchdown zone is 90 meters Hope this helps!

Thank you Crumpp. But that´s not the issue here. I know that stuff, you´re talking about. But this bug has nothing to do with it. The Bf109 is at 31m altitude (as seen with F2, picture 1). The airport is irrelevant. The atmosphere is set to ISA std day (as far as DCS permits it), 15°C and 1013,25hPa or 760mmHg or 2992inHg. So when the pressure is set to 1013hPa, the altimeter of the Bf109 should be around 31m. But it isn´t. It shows approx. 82m altitude. Nearly all the other aircraft show correct values then.

iFoxRomeo Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) Bump. The Bug is still valid for DCS 1.5.4.55169 open beta For comparison: Kurfuerst and Dora at the same Airfield, same weather conditions Edited August 5, 2016 by iFoxRomeo Spoiler PC Specs: Ryzen 9 5900X, 3080ti, 64GB RAM, Oculus Quest 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burritto Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 This is still a bug in our current Open Beta. Track attached. I setup a mission on Normandy. Standard pressure setting and temp of 10 deg C, with both axis and allied aircraft (109, 190A8, Spit and P51) at Needs Oar Point (close to sea level) and Evreux (slightly elevated). Setting QNH gives a reading close to airfield elevation in all but the 109, likewise setting QFE gives a reading close to zero in all but the 109. Excuse the P51 at Evreux - for some reason that one on a parked hot slot spawns in with the parking brake off and high throttle set. altimeter.trk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
