Confession: I switched back to Metric

froschman · 05-10-07, 03:27 AM

For an european like me it is good to be able to switch to the metric system. As a professional engineer I am used to do my calculations in metric and avoid the many odd factors in the imperial system.

Jeeez can you imgaine in 2005 if some folks asked for imperial units as an option in SH3?????

The USN used imperial, full stop.

The KM used metric, full stop.

It should not have been an option period, and if it's wonky it should be fixed.

I'm still using Imperial. I considered going back to metric as well, given the possible bugs in it but since I've had no troubles what so ever I just stuck with it. To be honest, I doubt that I would have noticed any problems with measurement in the tdc if other people hadn't spoken up. I'm using full manual targetting and my hit rate is about 90% but i can understand if people are put of by this bug - it does seem to be one of those little but fundamental ones.
