Just a minor issue - as the title suggests. When I choose MPH as my speed indicator, it then changes my fuel measure to Gallons... Here in the UK, we use MPH and Litres, but I have no choice for that. Would be nice for these settings to be separated.
Actually that is correct both mph and gallons are imperial mesures , now the question you really need to ask is the gallons the english or the american version ? Andi
Sorry, I know it's 'correct', but it doesn't give UK users the option of their version of correct We use Litres and MPH - so it is incorrect for me in-game, and no way to change one without making the other wrong.
Balls. In the UK we always quote miles per gallon. You may buy it in litres because the EU said we have to but that's all.
I have never used gallons outside of this generic measure of how far your new car won't get you on a new tank. Litres is the way we all use this now surely? (even every day stuff is measured in Litres, like water, drinks etc unlike the US which still uses Gallons for this I assume) Either way, not much to actually argue over here - this setting in-game says nothing about changing Fuel measure, it only states it's for Speed - having these separately controlled would allow weird people like me to mix the 2... but I imagine lots in the UK do use this mix. Never had this issue in any other sim.
I actually made a request to change that setting quite some time ago, looks like it got drowned under a pile of more important stuff. But it's still there, so some day it will get "fixed". I'll give it a bump.
Not sure if you just like arguing I have no idea how a pint relates to a gallon (I'm sure it does by the way, just that we don't use gallons for any real measures!). Fair to say the UK is in a bit of a transition away from Imperial, and towards Metric, but we're stuck somewhere in the middle - I think age may play a part here too. Amazing if this setting already works for you mate - it doesn't for me.
Isn't it just a "what number describes my feeling towards the thing better" thing? AfaIk many people use °C when they talk about cold temperatures but they use °F when talking about hot weather. -10 °C sounds a lot colder than 14 °F and 90 °F sounds a lot hotter than 32 °C.
In the UK? I personally didn't think so, I don't know anyone that uses °F for example and I can't recall the conversion formula from school Honestly, I thought we were exclusively °C. Just goes to show, a setting to allow control can be quite useful! My dad still mentions gallons from time to time I think, but he's 67...
As knowing how fast you are travelling is not really that important on a race track, so I just use metric values
