Pyrocumulous Posted December 16, 2024 Posted December 16, 2024 This isn't really a bug, but could use improvement none the less: there are no units listed for QNH, temperature, or cloud base. It's easy to confuse mmHG for hPA (problematic for Spitfire, Viggen, and M2000 pilots). 6 Warthog HOTAS, VMAX Prime Throttle, TPR pedals, Kensington Slimblade Pro, Pimax Crystal, RTX 4090 FE, Asus ProArt X670E-Creator, Ryzen 7950X3D, 64gb DDR5.
koen330 Posted December 19, 2024 Posted December 19, 2024 Agree!! QNH should be in inch or hPa. mmHG is not really used in aviation 1
Nealius Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Yes. Weather info in breifing is an absolute mess. It does not follow user's selected units of measure in games settings. It's missing notations. It doesn't even give hPA. Nav/Meteo wind is confusing as it should be notated "to/from" and the DCS User Manual doesn't explain which of those two winds is "to" and which is "from." 3
TOViper Posted February 4 Posted February 4 (edited) Units and such things have been a mess in DCS since the early days, and this didn't change much. I have only seen one little exception in that they added the info "Blows to dir" for the wind information in the ME. Fact: mmHg is used in Russian aircraft/helicopters; at least in DCS . Fact: inHG is used in many aircraft around the world. Fact: hPA is used in many aircraft around the world. So It would be very useful to have all three units mmHG / inHg / hPa at one place whenever a pressure setting is written somewhere (Briefing, ME, whereever). Also, in ME, whenever a groundspeed is configured for a waypoint, you only get the Machnumber automatically with it (because there is a dedicated field for that), but not the TAS or the CAS (temperature is known because of the ME weather settings). It would be good enough IMHO to have the ability to just read it somwhere besides, no reason for input. Often, one would need that when designing missions. This would make the life of mission designers a bit easier on that side.
