It would be simplest to be able to enter these in the aircraft profile straight without any conversions (to avoid mistakes), but ‌be able to tell if the pump has refueled enough liters and put in people weighing kilograms. I will call this scenario "convert to display units". 2‌. The plane displays speeds in mph or km/h, not necessarily matching the POH. Here you want to keep displaying these units. I will call this "change display units". 3‌. Any combination of 1 and 2‌. S‌o for any profile, you would need basically a table of what you want converted to baseline display units and ‌what not. A little heavy I guess.

The setting in SD would be a default setting which gets superceded by the one made in the aircraft selected. -- Chris. Hi. In our flightclub we also have aircrafts with KT and others with MPH instrumentation. Could be nice to create aircraft profiles with the aircrafts instrumentation.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 1, Visits: 14	Speaking for pilots from Eastern Europe, would it be possible some day in the future version, to have an aircraft profile connected (as an option) with units set-up. Reason for this is that we fly with aircrafts equipped with "imperial" instruments as well as aircrafts with "metric". When I change the aircraft during the day, I have to set-up units accordingly (metres, miles, knots, litres, gallons, kg, pounds etc). For example Cessna or Piper are US types and obviously I have to change everything to reflect the aircraft, but Zlin, most of microlights have metric system built-in.... I hope I haven't missed this anywhere in the planning set-up and the topic is not already here. Tags profile units
