Best start to laminate your PC then...

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

It's easy to mix them up since the game engine itself works in the more rational SI/Metric system (at least what we can see from the Simple Flight Model) as this simplifies things.

 

The engine would be a nightmare of conversion factors if Imperial units were used instead (except converted for final display on your HUD).

 

Hopefully, DCS will allow us to choose the desired format from the Options screen, thus everyone can have their cake and eat it too.

 

For US aircraft, all of the real-world performance data, all of the manuals, and all of the cockpit instruments and displays are computed, printed, formatted and displayed in Imperial units.

 

Personally, I don't have any desire to use the metric system in the game, and especially not in the mission editor. With few exceptions, the metric system is irrelevant to mission planning, weaponeering, and flying in the USAF.

I guess I'm the only one not so exited about dcs a-10. To me it will be a pain....

why?

because I will have buy it the same day of the release ergo I will most likely be at work; I will have to wait until 5 PM to grab my car and run to my house without getting a speeding ticket; it will take me another 45 minutes to get home (traffic is awful here ) after that; I will have to endure the stressful process of downloading the game; I will count each bit of data being downloaded to my computer; I will look desperate at the loader seeking for the magical 100%; after that I would have to gather strength to endure the installation process.

 

After all that I will come to realize my worts nightmare! I won't be able to play it because my computer wont be powerful enough :( that would be the worst torture; knowing that I will have the best simulator ever produced but wont be able to use it! It would be like having a fully loaded su-27 on my garage but without the pilot license to use it!

Left arm/shoulder in severe pain, difficulty breathing ... do not confuse with acid reflux or an anxiety attack, both of which you are probably having instead ;)
