2. You can set the altimeter to display meters by going into the Options/Settings/International menu in FS2002 and checking under the Units of Measure dropdown. I personally like it in feet. Otherwise when ATC tells you to ascend to FL290, you know what to do without having a calculator in your hand :-)

3. I also noticed that with the virtual cockpit, if the panel light was not on then the gauges are blacked out. Just turn on your panel lights.

2. With such a faithful reproduction of a magnificent aircraft, why is the indicated altitude expressed in feet instead of metres?

3. In the virtual 3-D cockpit at night, the main instruments in my aircraft are black (not lit) - supposed to be like that?
