Metric/Imperial options

[Harlikwin]

Can we get this as part of the module setting instead of using the global ones. I use Imperial for all the western jets and want to use Metric for the Mig29... And its a PITA to switch it globally constantly.

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Yes, please. This should be done in the Ka-50 too.

It has been requested before, and the need has been acknowledged by ED.

Funny thing is, that on my end the MiG-29’s cockpit is a mix of metric and imperial:

HSI says miles but is using kilometres, fuel gauge says NM but is using KM, airspeed indicator is in KPH, true airspeed indicator is in knots, radar altimeter is in feet

This truly shows how poorly thought out the system is, and highlights the need for special options.

Or they simply could have left the system as is was, then it would have worked perfectly, instead of trying to make an ‘80s Soviet aircraft display imperial units…

That's driving me nuts. And I think it is also a server side setting. Last night,  my imperial cockpit turned to metric (analogue speed gauge also) by itself on the Contention server. (I was thinking to myself how am I so fast but not climbing fast enough, then figured duh). This module needs a lot of work on a lot of fronts. Radar lockon/drop out, SPO full of false alerts and online dysfunctional IFF are reason enough to shelve this one until fixed. Bummed

I was so hyped for this release since I really love Soviet technology, but there were a few things that immediately jumped at me within 1 minute inside the cockpit that gave me a bad mood for the rest of the evening: cockpit units and those horrible visor reflections.
At least both have been acknowledged by ED and will get fixed.

I'll still fly it. Other than the units, the cockpit is HeatBlur-level of quality (really REALLY well done), and I simply love how it flies: Soviet DCS modules always 'clicked' with me
