Question XR 2 Ravenstar secondary hud

[Genius]

I want to edit the pref. file on the XR2 secondary hud to display my speed in kilometers per hour.
I look at the options and learn that there is only two options: M for mach and imp for miles per hour.
Is there a way to edit the file so that it show kilometers per hour like the DGIV hud?

# Vel       met/imp/M       Velocity

AFAIK this should not have changed since 1.0.
So changing

row3L=Vel imp

into

row3L=Vel met

should do the trick.

Happy Orbiting

Thanks TSPenguin. I tried that, but it give me meters per second and not kilometers per hour.

 

[TSPenguin]

Kilometers per hour is a laymans term. Spaceflight always uses meters per second.
Maybe Doug will someday include it, but that is something I doubt.

For now, all you can do is multiply it by 3.6 to get km/h.

Thanks for the help anyway. I tried to multiply the line with 3.6, but it does not work. :}

TS is correct; M = "meters per second". There are no plans to implement a "kilometers per hour" option, sorry.

or you could multiply the imperial speed by 1.6, whatever is easier at the moment.
