Possible to change Ka-50 instrumentation to knots/feet/mmhg?

[Darkwolf187]

Silly question. Does anyone know if it's possible to change the instrumentation (hud and gauge instruments) in the Ka-50 to Imperial (ie, aviation standard) quantities? So, stuff like;

 

Altitude: Feet

Distance: Nautical miles

Speeds: Knots

Weight (aircraft and fuel quantity): Pounds

Air pressure: Inches of mercury (inHg)

 

I know those units are pretty crud and in normal life I use metric everywhere, but I'm used to aviation units being as above, and it really throws me hopping into the Ka-50 and everything being metric :)

I don't think it's possible. But I got to learn to fly in metric system first so I kinda got used to it and know the analogy by heart now.

No idea but I'm used to metric too. But using imperial is not a problem and it's just part of the simulation.

Honestly, i don't think it's possible. As you can't play A-10 in metric style.

I suppose it's internally programmed in the source code.

But, who am I to say that ?

 

at least with metric units, i don't have to convert anything to know exactly what's going on around me ;)

I've never tried, but whatif you select IMPERIAL in Options?

Makes no difference, they're already set that way :(

You can do it in the abris computer.

[Erforce]

Setting Imperial in option will display imperial units with external view (info bar)

[Ich666]

You can do it in the abris computer.

 

What he says, fiddle around with the ABRIS settings, theres an option under UNITS where you can change all your units.

This wont change the Instruments though, you'll have to take a look at the ABRIS if you want to know your speed in knots.

[Devrim]

Actually gauges can be changed by graphically. But this would be long process. :)

[Devrim]

As Ich666 and Bee_Sting say, in the ABRIS; Options > Units > Change

 

 

 

And HUD changes too.

[Darkwolf187]

Aha! That'll do it. I can live with the needle gauges still being in metric, it's the hud that really throws me.

 

Thanks for that!

[Devrim]

Actually, if nobody is working on it, I can convert all gauges to other system.

If there are anybody to interest with it. I mean if it is worth to do.

If you are willing to look at the ABRIS you can change the measurement system to knots/feet/mmhg. You go into options from the homepage and coordinate from there.

Hell, why not. I would like my HUD and gauges to read knots for when I play missions online and have to report speed.

If your F-key external view is implimented in Multiplayer, it shows altitude above sea level and speed in not metric values in the lower "task-bar". I think this is also true in Single Player.
