Std pointer

Thanks for the badge, boac (may I call you boke?), much appreciated!

My pointer idea - it would tell you at a glance if you were on standard or off standard - if you are off standard, then you are presumably at your last setting, which is fine until time to reset (and maybe you should check now). It is simply to avoid having to read off a number to register that you are set standard; obviously, you need to read the number once entering/checking QNH

The beauty of it is that the same pointer shows both inches and Pa (the air molecules don't know the difference...)
