March 23, 200818 yr Radar Contact only gives me temperatures in Celsius in FS9, no matter where in the world I am. I would really like Fahrenheit temps, at least when I'm flying in the US. Did I miss a setting? -- This is a WideFS set up with the latest version of the registered FSUIPC. I'm also running Active Sky 6.5, which seems to show temps in C as well. My FlightSim2004 settings are correct under Options - Settings-International (I'm posting this at the same time over there, in case it's AS, but I've looked everywhere and can't find a place to change this.)Not that big of a deal, but I would like to change it if possible.

March 23, 200818 yr Commercial Member i am 99.99% sure that the world over, temperature is given in celsius.i'm sure one of the 4 controllers, or numerous real world pilots from our beta team will jump in.do you hear temperature in fahrenheit spoken in real life someplace?jd JD Read my blog
March 23, 200818 yr Author Yes, on the television all the time. :-lol (I'm in the US, which is stubbornly holding out on the change to the metric system.)Over on the ActiveSky Board I was just informed that meteorological data is almost always reported in degrees Celsius, which I never knew. And _that_ would explain why I have never been able to find a setting for it in either program! :)Thank you for such a rapid response on a Holiday. Smooth Skies! -- Chuck B.

March 24, 200818 yr Author Thanks, guys for all your help and suggestions. This is the way I'll go.BTW, it never surprised me that temp readings in Europe and the rest of the world are given in C, but for some reason I thought FS9 was supposed to give this info in degrees F at least while flying in the US and was governed by the International Setting under Options. IOW, I thought I had screwed something up somewhere. Thanks again for your time! Smooth Skies! -- Chuck B.
