Why does FS seem to not like the altimeter setting of 29.92? Like if you're flying pressure altitudes you set your altimeter to 29.92, but then if you save your flight and then go into it later the altimeter will always go to 29.91. I know I read something about this one time, and I think I remember reading that if you did set 29.92 it could actually cause problems so it was better to just do 29.91. Anyone know anything about this?

Never read that, never noticed it either. It makes about 6-10 feet difference so why does it matter? Its well within MSFS margin of tolerance.
