Pressure setting is only on altimeter.
But from GPS, you can use the GPS altitude and put the same altitude in your altimeter to have a rough idea of a good local QNH .
Or you take the QNH from a METAR airfield no far from where you are flying
Sorry don't understand 'you use the dialog' . The GPS under Equipment tab doesn't have pressure setting.
As I said these planes don't have a 'dialogue box which was the point of my question.

As for converting this is done with a chart which actually shows pressure in various ways its called SensorsOne Altitude to Pressure Conversion table. As for the rest of your post, I know when to change pressures, according to Real Life Training material it's once every 100nm or so, Ie New ATIS. I use the Live weather meta data which shows changes regularly on FG. I concede the real planes may have the calibrations but we are talking this Sim.

Well, I actually corrected your misspelling of Lionceau, looked at the altimeter of both planes in-sim and tested the dialog whether there's anything disabled, and the version on FGAddon has an altimeter without a QNH window, but the standard 'Instrument Settings' dialog allows me to set QNH and that affects the altimeter of both planes correctly.
So you're quite wrong in the claim - they can be operated just fine.
If you can't set QNH via the dialog, you likely have some alternative version of these planes - in that case you need to contact the author for further support, I can only look at the FGAddon version.
I have never mentioned the Instrument dialog box, merely the function not being where it actually should be.
As for the misspelling, so I missed off a 'c'. Pretty petty remark Thorsten. Why do you take every observation as a personal slight,
As you soon as you put Lio in aircraft search tab it shows up, so can't see how the 'C' made any difference.
As for Instrument settings that is not what you said. As I pointed out saying Dialogue box meant nothing.
Please do us both a favour and do not bother to respond to any post I may make.
You could just have said, use Instrument setting but you didn't. That came from another.
I don't claim any expertise which is why I ask.
I have read numerous threads where you have taken this high handed attitude and upset other knowledgeable posters.
