300/100/400 above/below your assined altitude

The pitot tube is for airspeed.. the ASI measures pressure at the pitot tube, compared to pressure at the static port.. the altimeter works off the static port.. and I don't think FSX models static port ice.

You're using real-weather, right ?

Does the 'B' key set the altimeter to, '29.92' when above 18,000msl ?

Brett!! .....or chief!! where you been?

Just for reference..  ATC sees your pressure altitude, as reported by your transponder, and then they convert that actual altitude according to atmospheric pressure that might be 100 miles from your location.

On a real, instrument flight.. if my assigned altitude was 6,000msl.. and per my last altimeter adjustment, my altimeter reads 6,000 .. and then ATC warns that I'm 200 feet low.. I'll set my altimeter to 5,800, and then climb to 6,000.

When ATC says, "altimeter XXXX"

[alrot]

this whole thing make pretty good sense (FSX its much more realistic than I thought)

and I thought my FSX had a problem 

its not fSX its the pilot 

I think also maybe few people know this ,only real life pilot my friend

thanks buddy

You're more than welcome..   :)

OMG! I think the one and that was absolutely wrong was ME

Still cracks me up the number of people who don't know the basic workings of an airplane who are flying heavy metal. I guess it is just a game, though, and the whole point is to have fun.
