Not exactly as I understand it.
The 6"'s many North Americans boast about is actually 5.75" in the British Imperial!!  :devil

In the German aircraft I've seen in AH, manifold pressure is metric units.

No idea what Japanese, Italian, Finnish, or Russian planes have.

Manifold pressure seems to vary, but that's the only thing that does.
It would be nice if we could have an option for metric, although I imagine it would take a while to make all of those different gauges...
