reported More Cockpit Language Options

Hello,

As mentioned before in other threads and on YouTube, *language* options should be independent from *units* in my opinion.

With Avionics Language set to Native, Units set to Metric and cockpit in the special options set to English, gauges are calibrated in feet and knots instead of metres and kilometres per hour.
We've had comments from ED staff that there is a way to have metric units in the English cockpit (such as it currently is in for example Mi-24 and Mi-8), but if Native Avionics, Metric Units and English cockpit doesn't do the trick, I'm at a loss as to what does...

With avionics language to "English", units to "Metric" and the English medium cockpit textures I am getting this:




Speedometer and altimeter are in km/h and meters, HSI shows km (even though the label wrongly says "miles")... but the radar altimeter is still in feet

I was just going to post about this, and I see people have beaten me to it!  This is also a problem in the L-39.  I would really like to have English cockpit labels, and English speech, but native metric instruments, HUD numbers, etc.  In the L-39, the manual is all in metric units, as is most information you can find about it online, so it's very convenient to have the cockpit in metric units so I don't have to convert back and forth to figure out takeoff and landing speeds, etc.  The MiG-29 manual unfortunately all seems to be in English units, even though almost no one flew the MiG-29 in real life with English units.

If you set the Avionics Language to English, and the Units to Metric, and the Special tab options to English cockpit, you get a really weird mish-mash of stuff: one airspeed indicator in kph, the other in kts, the altimeter in meters and what looks like mmHg, but the radar altimeter is in feet, and the HSI and fuel gauge show miles.  IMO it really needs to be all one or the other, and it would be nice if it were a simple switch.

Here's my wishlist: One setting to control default units for map and infobar (toggleable in game in the F10 map with the existing button at the top).  One setting to control speech language (e.g. speech and text from ATC, AWACS, crew chief, flight engineer, etc.)  And then in the Special tab, for each plane, one setting for cockpit labels and one setting for units.  The units setting should also control what instruments are shown (the metric or English airspeed indicator for instance, which are physically different in the cockpit, not just a different label).

Not sure since I use full Russian+metric. Never tried different. You need go convert all measurement settings to native/russian and metric. Then it will work. And full English+ imperial if you want opposite. Mixing tends to create something wierd.

Miles, knots, feet and NM are metric now?

Oh man, the 2 gauges you marked are showing metric. I speak Cyrillic.

First one is even saying "км/ч" which exactly means km/h.

Second one, altho not saying anything, is exactly same as in MiG-21Bis which is metric. I know, I have it.

Maybe you wanted to point out something else, but the ones you circled are indeed metric.

Sorry for posting in this thread, but I didn’t want to create multiple topics. My question is the following: the Mach number and true airspeed Vист indicator is blocked by the control stick (РУС). Would it be possible to add these values to the virtual HUD with the controls overlay (Ctrl+Enter)? After all, this is a very important instrument for a jet fighter, and I wouldn’t want to fly without the stick being visible in the cockpit.

Check the 4 red little marks just right to the altitude and speed indicator

Oh sorry, missed the rest.

Look at mine picture. Everything is metric so I thought the rest was metric in yours, as well.

Sorry for amateur pictures. I'm on my phone.

Key is to set exact measurement options. See my picture. Red marked options are of no concern for this. Location is in both gameplay option tab and in special tab for MiG-29A Fulcrum.

Yeah, I guess that only happens on English cockpit, but it should be corrected anyway. On Russian is everything ok as you say.

It's not that I'm against of imperial and other languages, but... Do you guys fly german ww2 birds with english cockpits and imperial units?

Reported. Thanks.
