Default Barometers and average pressure

Which is why you have to compensate for altitude. Current standard
pressure is about 1020 (Set Fair). Current real pressure is 970
(Stormy). The weather is dead calm, clear and dry. ie that associated
with 1020.

There is no way to adjust the barometer for altitude.


Crap barometer or you've not found tweak yet.
