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
-
:uhoh
Its a german plane :cry
I thought we had a new tempest cockpit :)
-
No clue about the alt - never saw that before.
Why are you dueling with a drop tank on ? Handicapping your opponents?

25% fuel. We both dropped them just before the merge

Isn't that an altimeter window from a WWI aircraft?
Just askin'
:salute

IDK Just thought it looked awesome

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.

seen that before couple years ago but this time was in F8. I think its a bug
-
Popped in 190A5 offline and it does not look like yours. Wonder how yours ended up looking like that?

Looks beautiful

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.

:headscratch:
Wonder how different players could see different text fonts on altimeter?

I looked at Krusty's skin (actually all of them) and it always looked like my screenshot.
-
That is odd.
-
I have seen the same thing before in a 190, I don't recall which 190 nor any skin; only a small handful of times and it was a long time ago. Idk.
-
krusty did that because he thought it made reading the altimeters in german aircraft easier. you can modify any/all textures in a skin, not just the external ones.
I think it looks kind of silly and the inaccuracy is silly as well but to each their own I guess.
By the way those skins have been in the game, and the same way, since like '06-'07
obviously it's not going to completely accurate because german instruments were in a unit system that makes sense but I think that HTC's gauge has a much better feel of an original
