November 17, 201114 yr Hello.Just a short question; is it possible to select the units in the HUGS panel? So far I was only able to enter FEET indicated by the ' symbol. Flying mostly in Europe some charts only show metric values for the runway length. I don't have a problem converting these values, but it would make life a bit easier resp. faster :( .Is this something planned for a future Service Pack?Best regards, Christian Mohr
November 17, 201114 yr Hello,You have the direct runway length in feet in the CDU Approach page after you have selected the runway of course.For the altitude type in the ICAO code of the airport in the nav data page...Hope this help, no need to convert...Regards,Richard Portier Richard Portier MAXIMUS VI FORMULA|Intel® Core i7-4770K [email protected] x8|NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080ti|M16GB DDR3|Windows10 Pro 64|P3Dv5|AFS2|TrackIr5|Saitek ProFlight Yoke + Quadrant + Rudder Pedal|Thrustmaster Warthog A10|

I am just wondering if they are going to add the metric system. I stumbled across it in a manual of the HUGS which was linked here in the forums once.kind regards, Christian Mohr
November 17, 201114 yr unless i am missing something, personally i see no benefit to entering the runway length right now, as the HUGS does not, at the moment, give you the "runway length remaining" readout on landing.

November 18, 201114 yr I believe the runway length is to ensure you have the correct runway edge overlays. Patrick Houghton
