speed and altitude conversion

Postby kram66 » Fri May 10, 2002 1:29 am

Is it possible to select if the speed and altitude being displayed can be selected............... so it may be in meters or the english counterpart?

Not that I know of.

I'd like to see the magnetic heading displayed, but now that I use the 'training' scenery, even that is'nt really neccessary.

The altititude didn't bug me as much as the m/s, ... till I found out the conversion ;) I generated a conversion table in excel, just kept in notepad on the screen beside fms.

mph = 2.2 * m/s (so roughly double your m/s = mph)

btw, found this really neat program to convert just about any unit to anything else.

it's great to convert say, wing area in square inches to square meters. ... i.e. for playing around with the par files.

(p.s. you have to paste this link into your browser, as clicking on it from here doesn't seem to work for some reason)

... also, try just pasting up to the "geo/" part .. he has a lot of neat stuff on the page.

Watching the little numbers in the corner and trying to
interpret them requires a lot of mental processing. For
example, if you want to practice keeping a constant
altitude while turning, you need to watch the climb rate
numbers and mentally process whether going up or down
and how rapidly.

It would be a lot easier to perceive an analog dial.

The authors can't be expected to add an infinite number
of new features and the source is not available so others
can't add new functionality.

Here's a thought. Suppose FMS made information about
the airplane available through some sort of inter-process
communication facility. Other people could then write
add-on companion applications to use this information
in various ways.

For example, an instrument panel application could have
analog dials to represent climb rate, compass heading,
attitude (pitch & roll), and so on.
