Post by: zaraza2000 on July 10, 2009, 07:30:40 AM

Are ALL units in AH imperial units (speed, alt, distance to enemy...)?

Not exactly as I understand it.

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...
