Yes, I want my my metric gauges.  And since we have country/squad specific planes - maybe even gauges with finnish labels on my G-2!

I don't mind if gauges remains in english system, but I really like to see speed gauge with km/h, I don't get accustomed to miles/h.

In fact, english systems doesn't make any sense anyway ! Just think about temperature;
On the Fahrenheit scale, temperature difference between freezing point and boiling point(of water) is divided into 180 equal increments (degrees of F) 32-212 °F !
In metric system it's divided to 100 equal´increments 0-100 °C.
Now which one makes more sense ?

You are missing the point, American units are science only unit  
What about doing thermodynamics with métric systeme : it's really to Easy the real challenge is doing your computation with their "Funky" unit
Btw how many inch² there is in a feet² ?
