The standard ICAO atmosphere has a pressure of 29.92 inches of mercury (mercury barometers were the standard way to measure atmospheric pressure), 1013.2 millibars which is the same as 1013.2 hectopascals. As another example of idiocy, there is an online converter website that coverts hectopascals to millibars. You just type in the hectopascal value in one box and it shows the equivalent millibar value in the other box as you type. Of course, they are the same! http://www.unitconversion.org/pressure/hectopascals-to-millibars-conversion.html ROTF LOL gl Marcel Tschudin wrote: > Trying here different settings: > > I don't get the language mixture as you seem to have.
