RANT the units in SP

69.4k Chancey21  6.9 years ago

OK so question: why does SimplePlanes use metric for some things and US customary for other things? The unit of the fuselage block is half a meter where as the altitude and speed and simple planes is it measured in miles per hour in feet

WHY JUNROO DO DIS??????

    Either way, metric is still more reliable than imperial

    @Knight697 1 meter per second =
    2.237 miles per hour.

    The speed of light in a vacuum is 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second) @Knight697 lol ummm light travels much MUCH faster than 1 meter per second

    Jundroo should be using metric, and though the U.S. does use imperial, not all SP players are in the U.S., and metric is much more common, and is based off actual scientific measurements
    Example: A meter is the distance light travels in a second

    @chancey21 metric is so much more simple. It’s not random it goes by tens.

    Just use metric for christ's sake. I live in America and I don't use Imperial!

    Ikr! I really don’t like when you can’t convert without the use of mods.

    @BACconcordepilot one unit is 0.5m. Standard Unity unit is 1m. Unit on SP is half of that.
    @chancey21 I guess devs wanted to make the game with imperial system, but it was easier to just use standard Unity unit or its fraction as a unit in editor. That's my best guess.

    You need to have the option to have either Imperial, Metric, or Navigational.
