PM me you email address and I will send you the tracks.

Or you can try 09:30 pitch and 1.3 Ata, line up the slip slide with rudder (ball - move towards it) and aileron (needle), make sure you are not ascending or decending with the altimeter. You wont be able to go straight to 09:30 pitch you will have to work the pitch down to it keeping the U/pm in the 1900 to 2350 range. Practice Practice Practice!

Snapper, try adjusting the Altimeter barometric setting in both cases at the same field until it reads zero feet or as near as you can get. Is it the same baro setting in each case or are you seeing different atmospheric conditions?

In my own created server and in ATAG I find the correct setting 'on line' for Tangmere (which is about 39feet) is 995mb. Based on that I set 995 at Manston and get 140 feet in both servers. IOn off-line single mission Free Flight over England after landing Manston I have to set 996 to get 140 feet. So different types of 'day' perhaps?

Maybe that's it, Klem.

Except, the Ia's FM's agree very closely under the exact same test conditions offline vs online. The IIa's FM's do not.

Me and my wingman often have 200m's defference staring from the same field on our altimeters.

??!!

Both have same baro setting?
Reading from the tooltip or the gauge needle?
Tooltips are to nearest 100 feet in RAF planes so one a/c at 90 feet and one at 105 feet will read 0 and 100 respectively.

Or the 109s are porked and next time I will run from a 109 at 25 feet and see what happens behind me
