Having the option to change the instrument displayed units between imperial and metri

Having the option to change the instrument-displayed units between imperial and metric is lame. Unless the real aircraft has that option it should not be a possibilty. It's as lame as being able to make eastern and western weapons interchangable.

L-39 was obviously equipped with metric (eastern) instruments at first, but after the modernization, instruments got switched with the imperial (western) ones. There are a lot of L-39s in private ownership with the imperial instruments as well.

What George says. Plenty of both in existence nowadays, so not lame at all IMO.

The complete rework of the L-39 cockpit in original and Western styles is really cool except it is tied to a global language setting. The result is...

 

if you want to fly the original cockpit with English labels/tooltips: you can't.

if you want to fly the Western cockpit with Russian labels/tooltips: you can't.

if you want to fly a completely different aircraft in English but L-39 original cockpit: you can't.

if you want to fly a completely different aircraft in native language but L-39 Western cockpit: you can't.

I agree custom instrument selections belong in the 'Special' tab on a per aircraft basis.

 

Currently, L-39 Metric/Imperial Instrument selection is made using the selected Global units, not the Global language.

Sorry, units not language, my mistake. Still that's not what that should be tied to.

What? They actually modeled the right instrument depending on language setting? Ok that is impressive then. I thought they simply hacked the gauge math logic to different numbers.
