keys to dial airpressure in?

[guenseli]

I wonder, that I haven't had this "problem" earlier...

Is there a possibility to dial in the airpressure?

for standard pressure it's the "B" button, I know.

But to be realistic as possible I want to dial it in. But I haven't found any shortkey in FSX.

Is there one?

thank you!

The B button does not necessarily set "STD" pressure, it sets the current QNH when you are below 18000 feet (the transition altitude in North America only), and STD (29.92" or 1013hPA) above 18000 feet. It is a "cheat" really, and only useful in North America because of the fixed TA in FS.

But to be realistic as possible I want to dial it in. But I haven't found any shortkey in FSX.

Of course, it's the same pair of controls used when turning the BARO knob on the altimeter or EFIS controls (depending on your aircraft). KOHLSMAN INC and KOHLSMAN DEC are the internal names of the controls as seen in FSUIPC's assignments drop-downs. The name derives from an old Microsoft mis-spelling of the German manufacturer of the first altimeters (pre-war) which featured the pressure window and adjuster -- Kollsman.

There's also a KOHLSMAN_SET which with a parameter of 16212 (1013.25 hPA x 16) sets STD (same as pressing the centre of the BARO knob on a Boeing EFIS panel.

When you want to find the FS name for any control used in a panel, just enable Event logging in FSUIPC, operate the control, then look in the FSUIPC Log file to see what control it used -- it gives both the numeric and name equivalents. FS itself doesn't list all the possible controls in its own assignments drop-downs, but FSUIPC does (using FS's internal names).

The fastest and the best support... as ever!

Kohlsman was it!

Thank you very much and thank you verymuch for your technical and historical explanations!!! :mrgreen:
