FSX-SE: Altimeter Setting does not change from inHg to hPa

[FrankP]

Hello,

my topic is probably out of focus here, but I don't know a better place to look for people with profound fsx knowledge.

I am using fsx SE on a Win10 machine. Unlike in previous installs, changing the metric system to "hybrid" under > Settings > General does not change the Kohlsmann window from inHG to hPa. When I toggle between metric and US systems, the altimeter readout changes from ft to meter and back, as it should. There is just no difference between US and hybrid metric systems. I. e. the Kohlmanns-Window remains in inHg.

Is there anything I can try besides the "hybrid" setting under > Settings > General? May-be there's a config-file anywhere to be modified.

Thanks a lot,

 Frank

Sorry, I don't know why that is so, and I'm afraid I no longer have FSX to check.

Are you sure it happens with all aircraft? Are you using a default one, or an add-on? Maybe some add-on aircraft aren't written to handle that. Always check things with defaults.

It cannot be related to anything like FSUIPC.

 Hello Pete,

one thanks, one thing less to question. 🙂

Yes, I tried it with the stock C172, same result. 

Thanks,
