Miles per hour

jmajor · 2012-06-06, 01:49 PM

I have noticed that the speed of all the vehicles in the game is measured in kilometers per hour. Since i use miles per hour to measure speed, i have no reference for how fast the vehicles are moving. i just know that they are moving quickly.

Do y'all think they will make the speedometer available in miles per hour, or should i just learn the ratio of kph to mph.

I saw that as well. I don't mind sine I use KPH. But I did find it odd since the game is made in America

. But I suppose you can change it in the options screen.

it is roughly 1.6 greater than miles but yes just learn it, since it is a game the unit of measure really doesn't matter

I don't see why they cannot make something to switch it over, however I personally never cared what model was being used to show speed.

that would be to easy for an american. we do things the hard way

If it looks faster, I like it.

AFAIK there was a switch in the Original, so I'm quite sure it will be there in the sequel.

Most modern militaries including the US use the metric system so I can understand why they went with the metric system. Just learn how to convert it.

Was there a way to switch it in the original? I still play and I've never seen an option for it. I'm not calling you out, I'm legitimately curious.

Sci-fi games traditionally use KPH; I don't remember there being a toggle in the old game.

Admittedly, the distances were pretty dubious in the original.

i would like to option to convert it to MPH.

Depends which miles we're talking about.

I'm with Elcyco on this one. This barbarism must stop. It's not like you'd do anyone a favour by measuring nanites in gallons either!

Also, drive on the right side of the road already.

It doesn't matter ...... there are only 3 speeds worth noting. Stationary, fast enough and ramming speed!
