Phil73805 Posted November 7, 2018 Posted November 7, 2018 Hi there, is there any way to get ATC to give wind speed in Knots rather that Metres per Second? I'm slowly getting used to pressure in InHg rather than mb/hPa but the wind speed on the runway is harder for me to gauge in m/s. If not, I'll just have to learn :) Windows 10 64bit, Intel Core i5 8600K CPU @ 3.6GHz, 32GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB. 500GB SSD (Exclusively for DCS World), Thrustmaster Warthog, Logitech G Saitek Pro Rudder Pedals.

Irishlad200000 Posted November 7, 2018 Posted November 7, 2018 I don’t think it’s an option you can change without changing scripts and adding custom voiceovers for read back in knots.

Phil73805 Posted November 7, 2018 Author Posted November 7, 2018 Irishlad200000, you lost me at scripts :D It seems I will have to get used to it. I looked at the chart you linked and it seems for Knots all I need to do is double the m/s number for an approximate reading in Knots, that'll do! Thank you!

MikeMikeJuliet Posted November 8, 2018 Posted November 8, 2018 Yea it can't be changed with normal gameplay options. But don't worry, there is an easy rule to remember: Just double it. Specifically: 2m/s * 3,6 = 7,2km/h 7,2km/h / 1,852 = 3,8876...kt So, to get the approximate kt from m/s, just double it. 2m/s = roughly 4kt. if you want to be a bit more exact just remove "a bit" form the value you just got and you are close enough to get the idea.

Irishlad200000 Posted November 8, 2018 Posted November 8, 2018 I hope they can change the voiceover and speed, as R/L procedure is knots in the western world. If it was a changeable option that would be great! I know there is a lot more to do that takes priority, maybe some day! You Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
