    MISC DATA Entries

    Looking through a range of DP files I'm left wondering whether the entry numbers are metric. Likewise, in the Gunstation entries, is the distance at which the gunner will engage an enemy aircraft measured in metres or feet?

    Ravenna,

    I've run into many problems with this as well. Speeds in Mission Builder are listed as knots, with distances in nautical miles. In the sim, it's listed in statute miles if you fly with the HUD on. Yet in the Misc Data section, altitude is in meters, and speed is in kilometers per hour.

    It's like the sim was designed using instructions from IKEA.

    Either that or it was designed by a committee.
