Right so you just posted a load of info explaining how airfield elevations are not changed daily but are calculated using sophisticated surveying techniques which is what I explained, why do they bother when they could just go to your hobby website and get the latest one hourly eh?
You are about to be ignored.

Read what I wrote and not what you think or wish it says:

NO, I said the current settings do not agree with the elevation and not all charts are the same.

Of course, I got my elevation from an aeronautical information site. I checked several sites and plates before I posted.

Look under METAR and be advised it changes with conditions. the current settings do not agree with the elevation and not all charts are the same.



It will vary from 597-600 depending on which site you check. I checked several sites and plates before I posted.

Here it is 600 today:

In otherwords, for you games testing an approximate is good enough. If you set your games altimeter to field elevation, you will get the pressure at sea level.

If you spawn at several airfields around the map, you can see if it changes and confirm the values.
