Altimeter issue
I would like to report several issues with altimeter. Here is how it looks like in my case:
This is default Eglin AFB, with elevation 87ft, Fair Weather scenario with 29.92 value in sim. B key pressed - and then altimeter shows the value as above.
Issue #1 - there is no middle marker on the external dial part. I believe it should be in the middle between markers #2 and #3. Now I can guess, that the value on the picture above is 30.19. ( I could be wrong since I don't have access to the real aircraft)
Issue# 2- there are no stops for calibration knob. According to internal dial, minimum value is 29.00 and max 31.00, but it is possible to turn the dial around many times and have greater values in the tooltip. Shouldn't it be stopped at min/max, like needle which stops at 0 feet?

Re: Altimeter issue
By "middle marker" I mean red element shown on the picture below.
