Cockpit Update
« on: October 26, 2014, 02:29:41 AM »
I noticed something while dueling tonight in the DA.  We were flying 190 A-5's when I noticed the weird looking Altimeter. I ask Hazard if hey saw the same thing and he said he didnt. Does this mean that this is a updated cockpit>>






IS this new or have I am I blind. One thing I noticed was that the 10 inside the Altimeter was green and that is was got this whole process going. Any idea's or thoughts guys?????   Is this a glitch

No clue about the alt - never saw that before.


Why are you dueling with a drop tank on ?  Handicapping your opponents?

When the 190 family was updated to AH2 everyone noticed the altimeter was upside down. Then everyone got used to how the germans thought it should be displayed in WW2. It's funny you are not concerned with your speed gauge being upside down or your manifold gauge being in ata. Shows how much we play the game with our heads outside of the cockpit.

It is driving me nuts! Even the 10k dial is turning inside its window in the opposite direction of how I would expect it to turn... In the German planes I just focus on the speed gauge and completely ignore the alt, unless I have time to stare and it and figure it out. In the C205 even the speed gauge is weird to me and inconveniently located, so I don't look at the instruments and get into trouble often.

Popped in 190A5 offline and it does not look like yours. Wonder how yours ended up looking like that?

Not 100% sure but its only in a few of the skins. I think its the ones Krusty did. Switch your paint jobs and have a look.

Out of curiosity went to high alt field and tried spawning in every 190A5 skin. They all looked normal like my screenshot above.

I think a bug or a update coming.    But Germans used their altimeter upside.  Just was set to deal meters

I just took the default a5 skin up and that looks normal. I then took Krustys JGr OSt or whatever it is "Hermann Grafs" and it is the one Wpeters posted. Its been that way a long time.
