I was only at 10,000 ft over the desert in the middle of the day and it's Summer time. I doubt icing was involved and I don't see how icing
would affect the altimeter anyway.
And what the heck is FSUIPC?
I noticed the altimeter going crazy before my airspeed shot off. It was really strange. I had indeed just passed through the military base
airspace corridor. Maybe it's an evil Microsoft easter egg. haha
Really bizarre. But probably not caused by FsP like Ryan said. I doubt there is anything you can do to fix that problem. I can only imagine
that it may have been a bad download in the real world weather. Typo in the transfer that created an area of some really strange
barometric pressure (really high or reallly low - I don't know which) since we were in the same area at presumably the same time. I
started hitting the 'B' key which would temporarily (for <1 second) the altimeter reading so that's the only evidence I have against that
theory.
You were using the real world weather right? And over Nevada when it happened? A really super high barometric pressure value would
be my guess. Impossibly thick air will shoot the speed through the roof on the IAS readout while GS in the GPS wouldn't be affected
much. I can't think of which direction the altimeter would go in that case. I'll have to go check on that one.
