JabbyJabara Posted October 19, 2022 Posted October 19, 2022 Hello is it possible to have the conversion of units done seamlessly whilst in a server or singleplayer if using multiple aircraft from different nations? The reasons is because fuel requirements, weapon loads, navigation and weight systems for aircraft are easier to calculate depending on their units. For example the fuel for Mi24 Hind and Mi 8 are fuel load is in kg or litres and distance is in kilometres whereas the US units are in gals or lbs of fuel. For the rearm and refuel and ruler measurement on the F10 map view it would be a great Quality of Life change instead of exiting the server changing it in the menu game options. 1
twistking Posted October 19, 2022 Posted October 19, 2022 That would be a nice feature. Not only for switching during gameplay, but also for switching while in mission editor. Especially the ruler tool. Would like to have it in meters / kilometers without changing the whole of dcs to metric... My improved* wishlist after a decade with DCS *now with 17% more wishes compared to the original
One Eyed Ross Posted October 19, 2022 Posted October 19, 2022 I never gave this much thought, but I can see why/where/when it would be confusing. One of those things I just learned to do when I lived in Germany and drove an American car....you just get used to doing it after a while. Would be a useful tool...

I'm pretty sure such a feature will come eventually. Just need to be patient 1 Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
