Automatic Unit Conversion & Easier MP Hosting

[valeriaddr]

Hi,

Whenever flying, especially in multiplayer where you often switch from BLUFOR (imperial) to REDFOR (metric) aircraft, it’s quite bothersome having to stick to one unit throughout your whole play-through, and whenever you switch to the F10 or F2 view it will show selected info of any aircraft to the preset units chosen before joining the server. A setting where the unit will change automatically (MiG-21 metric, F18 imperial w/ knots, Mosquito imperial w/ MPH) would be a great addition. 
 

Another welcome change would be easier MP hosting without the need for third-party programs or excessive setup.

The F10 map in Open Beta has a button to switch between imperial and metric.

That is correct but it only converts the line measuring tool.

As far as I've seen it changes the speed and altitude values as well.

I stand corrected, thank you for pointing this out to me.

I'd love to see that button have a keybind/keystroke in the UI Layer controls setup, so we can switch the "info bar" in the Fx views without having to go through the F10 map.

Cheers!
