Cold Temperature Altimeter Error is pretty dangerous! | X-Plane 12 Demonstration

Barometric Altimeters are pretty accurate but are calibrated to indicate true altitude under ISA conditions. Extremely Cold weather can put you considerably lower than your indicated altitude increasing the risk of a crash/controlled flight into terrain. In this tutorial I’ll show you how to apply cold altitude temperature corrections in the ZIBO MOD 737 in X-Plane 12, which is now accurately modelled.
