    Not a massive problem by any stretch of the imagination, but the GPS glass cockpit altimeter seems to be off by 400ft or so.

      @floydrix The GPS altitude isn't corrected for barometric pressure. It should match if you select 29.92/1013.2

        @martyn Cheers, I thought I'd set it properly by hitting 'B'.

          @floydrix Hitting [B] sets the altimeter to the current local barometric pressure... If you are using LIVE weather this will not usually be the ISA Standard pressure (29.92). The ISA Standard pressure should always be used at any altitude above 18,000 ft (FL180)

            @retiredman93231 Yeah it's defintely operator error on my part, I can see the baro reading now on the altimeter :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

            Loving this plane, keep up the good work and looking forward to the Fokker.
