Barometric references given in Meters

[rrohde]

So, here I was, looking forward to plugging the F-5 into the updated DCS World 2.0.3 for some nice instrument flying, only to find out that NTTR is giving airfield elevation information in meters now - instead of feet (see screenshot). This wasn't the case before the 2.0.3 update...

 

My settings are set to display Imperial units.

 

Anything else I can check?

There is a global units option in the gameplay tab of the options section.

 

Worth checking that is not set to metric there.

Checked that initially... set to Imperial. See screenie:

EDIT: Tried again just now, and without changing anything, now it's back to feet... odd. I'll keep an eye on it and see if I find a pattern (or me running a repair and then deselecting Imperial, selecting Metric, and then back to Imperial did the trick).

Could it have been you spawned as a Russian aircraft? Similar to on a server when the red f5 has Russian spoken language from the ground crew

It was just me in the F-5; defaulted to meters right from the start. But it seems to be okay now. :)

I wish that had worked for me. Both release and alpha are stuck on metric it seems.

Interesting. I wonder if this is a bug now since it affects others as well...

I've been using DCS for 1.5 years, and I can't remember it ever being displayed in feet vs meters, release or otherwise. Maybe it's time to delete my options.lua, the only thing I haven't tried.
