Altimeter error message

Postby brettt777 » Mon Jan 19, 2009 1:02 am

I have all my cockpit tool tips but I still get the "your altimeter is not adjusted right, press B to reset it". That normaly wouldn't be a problem except that I get it about once every minute or two. Now I know that the baro pressure changes and all that depending on weather, location etc., but this happens even if I am sitting in the same spot for a while. I get the message and press the button and the altimeter is adjusted several hundred feet. Then a minute or two later, sitting in the same spot, I get it again and the altimeter is another couple hundred feet off. Is this normal? How can I turn it off?

disable tooltips.

Default shortcut in game is Ctrl+shift+X but can also be found in settings.

Actually, those are "Flying Tips" not "Tooltips."  Turn them off in Aircraft/Realism dialog.

Perhaps you have a weather "scheme" enabled...and it changes as time goes on, such as a fast moving front, even as you sit?

Just a thought.... ;)
