hellfire257 3 Posted March 9, 2013 No, because it is about time we forced people out of that archaic system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lugiahua 26 Posted March 9, 2013 When I was an Army ROTC cadet, we were taught to use Metric system, we were all given conversion charts and require to use it during LanNav It was pretty easy since I grew up outside US and familiar with it already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gliptal 25 Posted March 9, 2013 I'd still like to see knots and feet when piloting jets or chopperso though... Yay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
white 1 Posted March 9, 2013 metric vs imperial: but i guess it could be an feature added after the game is released since its far from a priority IMHO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigMorgan 11 Posted March 9, 2013 Knots would be military standard for velocity for naval and (most) aviation units. Would be nice to see KIAS instead of Km/H displayed in aircraft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chris89 10 Posted March 9, 2013 Doesn't overal concern me. Although being in the UK we do use a mixture of Imperial and Metric though. Most things are metric, but speed, distance, height, (Imperial) pints for Cider, Beer, Lager, acres etc. For games, im so used to using metric it doesn't bother me, especially in combat flight sims (IL2) and other games. The option would be nice, but doubt i would use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheKhann 10 Posted March 9, 2013 Exactly, and feet instead of meters for altitude...Yay! You do realize that a nautical mile and knot are not imperial measures and are not the same as statute(land) mile and mph (which is the imperial measure) right ?

gliptal 25 Posted March 10, 2013 You do realize that a nautical mile and knot are not imperial measures and are not the same as statute(land) mile and mph (which is the imperial measure) right ?I am totally aware, I'm simply pointing out that (realism wise) it shouldn't be km/h and meters like it is now when I fly the helicopters in the game...The thread evolved around what system should be used, and I pointed out that meters and km/h is perfectly correct for land warfare, but helicopters and jets should use knots and feet... I never spoke about imperial measures in se... Yay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swan-UK 2 Posted August 10, 2017 I agree, at least the air vehicles should have the option to change units to Speed = Kts and Altitude = Ft. I am a PPL holder in UK, the only aircraft I have seen that measures speed in anything other than Knots is the Piper Cub which displays speed as MPH. In all fairness km/h is a ridiculous unit to measure the speed of an aircraft, especially when it comes to fast-jets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
