Weight and Balance metric units

[Budy93]

Still needed weight and Balance in metric units like the most of the world in aviation use. For me is this not nice to have more a Bug.

Nice regards Budy

Hi guys, first of all congratulations for the new FS Great product!!!
Anyway I’m a bit upset about the lack of the metric units: honestly I think it’s quite absurd that a new flight simulator in 2020 doesn’t have the possibility to change the units (ft/lb to m/Kg or ft/Kg) like any other sim

Please, make this possible.
Many thanks!

Also hectopascals please.

+1 I can’t work on lbs and gals! Give me kgs and litres!

[KatoPeeps]

Yes, it’s crazy not to have metric units in a new sim.
You American guys need to get out more!

I fully agree, to have he option for SI units is a must.

As PPL pilot myself, I can only state that this is kind of odd we are not allowed to switch to KG for the pax and bagages. I would say it’s a must.

+1 Metric weight, fuel volume and air pressure, as I use as an private pilot here in Europe

I hoped that this would have been patched in the 2nd patch, but as I read the patchnotes - it’s not. Again.

We really need an option to select the units when loading an aircraft in the menu.

Example: A32N

• I regularly use “kg” for weights and fuel when planning and calculating a flight.
• Our VA offers “kg” in their OFPs and in the Uplink (inflight status screen) to find theese numbers on the MFDs, because:
• All weights in the FMGS/FMC of the A32N are “kg”(/tons). GW, FOB, ZFW, etc. even the whole INIT page.

Why on earth can’t we change the “lbs” in the loading menu to “kg”?
It’s not helpful to have the choice for “Gal/l” for the fuel, “kg” would be THE measurement of choice for everything.

It can’t be too difficult to integrate a unit change button or even an option in the Sim settings (Units: Metric/Imperial/Mixed e.g.). Every tool I know from Simbrief, PFPX or TOPCAT has the option to do so - why not the Sim itself?

So please consider this as a “fast done” service and try to offer it in the the October Patch.

Thank you!

Totally agree. All I ever use is metric as that’s all I use IRL - KG for weight, Nm for moment, Meter/KM runways, hPa for pressure…

[Furio1984]

+1 a metric/hybric system missing in planning page is a bug to fix asap please

[FabButterfly399]

Totaly agree and…
Another wish, why not a loadplanner , or at least that we can export our OFP from simbrief direct into the CDU in the aircraft like the Leonardos Flythemaddog ( super excelent programmed aircraft, it should be an template for all commercial aircraft)

I found after editing aircraft in TOPCAT its quite usefull. It is a very good performance calculator
