Unity on PC shows incorrect Environmental Conditions

My new Nyx 101 works fine on Unity on my Windows 11 Laptop.
My Android mobile phone is Android 8 and can't be upgraded, so no Unity on that.

I noticed that some of the Environmental Conditions are not correct.

Temperature is more or less correct now (actual room temp 19C). Earlier today room temp was actually 16 C and 28.8 C was indicated.
Pressure - I can't verify.
The site altitude is shown as -178m but the actual altitude is approx +25m above sea level.
The input voltage may well be correct. I am running on the stock Pegasus Nyx 101 power supply that came with the Mount.

Does anyone have an explanation. Can I adjust these values in Settings ?

If the Barometric Pressure or Altitude is wrong does this affect the Refraction Corrections ?

Cheers
Tim

It is barometric altitude (approximate) so it is not your actual altitude.
The refractor compensation does not care about altitude. Only about temperature + absolute pressure

I had the same question - glad I found this. The readout is rather misleading and I'm not even sure what one would use it for.
