HUGS: Setting Units

Featured Replies

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,

Hi Richard,thanks for the info, I was aware of that and it even came to my mind a few seconds after pressing post. 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,

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.

I believe the runway length is to ensure you have the correct runway edge overlays.
