laldren1983 Posted January 3 Posted January 3 I'm more accustomed to seeing speed displayed in "km/h"(not "knot") and altitude in "m"(not "ft") on the HUD. Is there any way to achieve this？ For instance, on aircraft like the F18、F16 or JF-17
Valium Posted January 3 Posted January 3 (edited) Probably not. The only one plane which has in DCS is MiG-29A and S (km/h, m) and MiG-29G (kts, ft). But it's caused because of the fact that some countries which joined to NATO and had MiG-29s before just changed units. For example Germany and their MiGs sold later to Poland. Poland also had some MiGs from Germany, Czechia and Russia, so the rest was also changed to imperial units. NATO airplanes using imperial units, so knots for speed, feet for altitude, nautical miles for distance, meters for distance (visibility e.g. in METAR, RVR). Also for pressure it depends - mostly inHg but hPa too. Edited January 3 by Valium Click here to see more pictures of Polish Air Force! Check also my album.
