The standard barometric pressure of 29.92 inHg or 101.3 Kpa is used on all aircraft above 18000' (normally) to ensure everyone's altimeter displays the same altitude. So when you are landing, the baro pressure at the airport is not usually ever 29.92 inHg. When you set the DH it is usually based on the radar alitmeter which does not use the baro pressure, in order to see changes in terrain more precisely. I hope this helps? 

You must have a problem with your 727 Paul. The DH adjustment knob works fine on mine (for both the Pilot and Co-Pilot sides).



The only problem I have is that if you adjust one, it changes both, and there is a difference in their settings. If I set the Pilot's radar altimeter to 200 feet, the Co-Pilot's radar altimeter shows 300 feet (see next pic). If I change the Pilot's to 400 feet, then the Co-Pilot's reads about 900 feet!



Weird!

Ahhh. Sorry Paul. My bad.

Just ignore my previous reply then.

My Alt Alert isn't sounding when I approach the set altitude, 1000' before? I have FSX Paul V-1 and Matts' Alt callout installed and they all sound,IT DOES SOUND WHEN I SET THE ALTITUDE WHEN i START A FLIGHT, bUT NOT ONCE i AM IN THE AIR? The only one I am missing is the Dooing when approaching the set altitude? The sound.wav is present in the sound folder in the Captainsim folder in the main FSX tree.ONCE IN THE AIR THE SOUNDS STOP SOUNDING? Before I start a flight in Free Flight I test the sounds they sound alt.Alert and seat belt.Then Once in the air they go quite?

FIXED! I had forgotten to change the line in the .ini file:SoundOffWhenSimIsSlew=0

You are right! I never noticed that before. Or maybe I had previously put it down to forgetting to reload the aircraft to fix the sound problem!

Currently I am having problems, with some of my Captain Sim products, that I have not had before. Maybe it's time for me to uninstall, then reinstall FSX and Acceleration. It would be a lot of work, but it just might fix the issues I'm having now.

Hi Lou.

What issues are you having that are "new?"  
When I first load the CS 727 into FSX, the sounds don't work (mainly the altitude alert and the cabin announcements), so I have to reload the aircraft to get them working. <- This is NOT new!
If I change the weather from Fair Weather or Clear skies (clears all weather) to anything else, the sound disappears again. The same applies if I use AS2012 (which I use for real world weather generation). <- This is new to me. I never noticed this until I checked with the problems that CSdoesnotwork mentioned in their post. That means it either didn't used to happen to me. OR. I had attributed it to my "forgetting" to reload the 727 into FSX, when in actual fact I had reloaded it into FSX.

I always try to keep calm and carry on. However. I think I'm overdue for a complete uninstall and reinstall of FSX and all my addons! Because it's such a big task, I keep putting it off.

My experience with the cockpit sounds was that they were broken with the the 2.4 update.  The only way I could get them back was to get the sound gauge from the 2.3 version and use it with the 2.4 install.  Now I can get sound by using the cfg edit and reloading the aircraft as described elsewhere in the forums.  Using the 707 gauge wasn't workable for me.  All those error messages and the sound played at the wrong volume.
