Hi Developers and Drivers,

I've had a slight problem with the trigger setting where if the aircraft reaches a certain altitude, a message is suppose to pop up.

 

The parameter is:

*Aircraft is higher than 9000 feet MSL-> Message to Group

 

What I found is:

*Aircraft reached 29,900ft (~9000 meters) -> Message comes up

Is there a way to fix this wording or change the parameters to actual feet?

 

Much appreciate it 🙏🏼

Convert 9000 feet to meters and use that number - it will work after that

I don't believe it actually says FEET, but either way the measurements are all in METERS rather than feet.  Yes it would be good if it included what unit it was using.  That one caught me out when I was learning the mission editor.

Basically everything in the background of DCS is in metric because it the countries where DCS was originally developed were metric AND it's a lot easier to work in metric than imperial units.  Any imperial units in DCS are converted from metric in the background.
