Re: eurofly a flight audio simulator from slovakia
@LordLundin uh, welcome to the real world. in the aviation industry, ... things are so messed up that some pilots have to carry conversion cards with them when they travel international. yes, many places do use metrics for nearly everything. on the other hand, America isn't the only one to use feet and other such horrible systems. and unfortunately, there's no end in sight. America has basically turned around and said they aren't shifting to metric. lol. damn them.
pretty much the only thing that's standard in the aviation measuring tape box, is nautical miles. that's used world wide. everything else, ... well, you need to know how to convert. I do in fact like that this sim used metric all the way. just a pity it's not like the real world, huh? LOL
Sometimes, in some cases, there's good parts to not being a totally accurate sim. ahaha

So yeah. over all, I'd say let's keep this sim metric. Metric rules!
Also, as a side note, if we want to get proper, they also use something called a flight level, such as flight level 8,0, or flight level 2,4,0.
Flight levels are used to ensure safe vertical separation between aircraft, despite natural local variations in atmospheric air pressure. Historically, altitude has been measured using a pressure altimeter, which is essentially a calibrated barometer. An altimeter measures ambient air pressure, which decreases with increasing altitude following the barometric formula. It then calculates and displays the corresponding altitude.
To display altitude above sea level, a pilot must calibrate the altimeter according to the local air pressure at sea level, to take into account natural variation of pressure over time and in different regions. If this is not done, two aircraft could be flying at the same altitude even t
hough their altimeters appear to show that they are at considerably different altitudes.
Flight levels solve this problem by defining altitudes based on a standard air pressure at sea-level. All aircraft operating on flight levels calibrate to this setting regardless of the actual sea level pressure.
