virgo47 Posted April 12, 2023 Posted April 12, 2023 I know that Kursant campaign warns about Imperial vs Metric, but I believe it's a bug that the cockpit air speed gauge totally changes when switching this option: Notice what the tooltip says - "NOT change indication in the cockpits". I believe that switching the gauge from metric to imperial for a single plain should be in its Special section. Doesn't the Units option also change things in the editor, etc.? Why can't I have Imperial selected for other purposes and stick to metric for L-39 (and similar aircrafts) only for immersion?

Yes, it also switches the units in the editor, map etc. However, with a not-so-recent-anymore update we've gotten the ability to switch between imperial and metric units on the fly, so you can switch to metric for the L-39 and if you want to check something else in the imperial system just switch it. 1
virgo47 Posted April 12, 2023 Author Posted April 12, 2023 Yeah, I report it as a bug, because the tooltip clearly lies to us. It's not critical and it's true I don't need to restart the game after the change. But I'd be careful calling it "on the fly" in case of flight simulator. Gameplay options are not available inside the mission - for obvious reasons, as it would be difficult to magically change the instrument/cockpit. Still, for players switching between eastern and western planes it would be nice to have this as a plane setting, not a global one.

In the ME go to "View" and then you can switch between imperial and metric. Same goes if you are flying, go to the F10 map and at the top you have a button to toggle between imperial and metric values.
virgo47 Posted April 12, 2023 Author Posted April 12, 2023 Ah, now I understand what you meant... on the fly in the editor and map, got it.
