I know I could convert into in. Hg and set the altimeter accordingly,
this is what I actually do if required. Still I'd like to know if
FlightGear has such a 'localization' switch.
hPa and in. Hg both are represented using four digits, so it should not
require a rewrite of the whole altimeter code to add such a feature -
if it's not already present. I'd call this a nice feature, although not
an emergent requirement. I was just asking,
Martin.
