Does anyone else have the issue where the VSI on the flight engineer's panel always reads twice the rate of the VSI on the main panel?

What the...

Am I missing something here? Am I missing a procedure in pre-flight? Is there something that could cause a false reading that I am ignorant of?

Lemme know guys, thanks.

That VSI on the engineers panel is the cabin Rate of Climb.  In other words how much the cabin altitude is going up or down.  Try closing the outflow valve.  Or just ignore it.  It is after all just a simulation.
