I would love to know all this, but there is nowhere I can find such info! - There really should be a web site with all this, a wiki maybe... - Also with info on how to use the FMB... - As it is I am struggling with finding my way in the dark.

Anyway, I probably needed those extra 120 meters when I threw the bomb!

No, i flew with glider RL, and there had to learn the aerodynamics, basic gauges, navigation, meteorology, ect

Then yet a short supplement

You see a barometric scale on the upper part of the altimeter. It shows it which air pressure shows the 0 metres on altmeter (of course, these altmeters measure air pressure, and the enlargement of the inner box gives the measure of the elevation. This depends on the weather because of this, claims if the air pressure changes).
If you know it a place the value of zero air pressure (if somebody landed already, and dictates it to you, what this scale shows if he is on zero alt), you set same value, your altmeter will shows excactly same altitude. This is very good if the departure one and the airport's of arrival altitude differ very much, or you taking off from another AFB, and have to set standard alt in mission.
The standard seal level pressure setting (QNH) – 1,013.25 hPa, so you have to set 1013 on the little white scale, then your altmetes show 0 m on sea level.

The wikipedia gives a very good explanation in these plainer things, but the google helps a lot. I have Hungarian books only unfortunately, they unusable for you.
