Barometer Units Problem

[zackman]

Hi,

   I have the option on Output and Misc for the Barometer reports to display in Hg only but on the reports and charts it shows in hPa only.  I have the Units in Celcius I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not.  Help!

Thanks - Zack

The units selections on the Output & Mics. page change what is shown on the snapshot and overlay. Changing them do nothing to the charts. Selecting Celsius or Fahrenheit sets the default units for charts.

Ah ok so Hg is not metric then if I understand what you are saying.

That's it, Hg is measured in inches. 1 Hg = 1 inch of mercury. Wikipedia Article

Pascals are the metric unit of pressure. 1 pascal (Pa) = 1 N/m2 = 1 kg/(m·s2) 1 hPa (hectopascal) = 100Pa Wikipedia Article

I don't make the rules.

lol yeah it's pretty crazy.  at our canadian airports our atis and everything else is half metric half imperial.  temperature/dew point/humidex are all celcius, everything else is imperial (nm, kts, Hg).

Maybe a feature suggestion for a future release is the ability for the charts to pick up the measurements selected for the snapshots and overlays instead of just being either metric or imperial.  I can't use the full size barometer chart because no one up here knows what a kpa is compared to a Hg. lol
