Hi, I have 2x aircraft files for the 2x aircraft I most frequently fly...

One of the aircraft has POH data which is all in US Gallons and MPH and Lbs.

The other is in Litres and Knots and Kg.

Its all workable now using the Setup -> Change units menu BUT I would prefer if I could set this preference per aircraft rather than globally.

Hope the feedback is helpful!

Andy

Another related question.



I created an aircraft, but since it's W&B and official figures are in LBS and USG, I changed skydemon prefs to match, and entered the data.



I then changed prefs back to litres and KG, since I prefer those units in general. All seemed to work well and the W&B points and fuel all seem to be good in KG/Litres.



When I look at the aircraft definition file, the data in it seems to be in KG and litres, but I can't see anything in the file to say what the units are. I just want to know if I share this file, how the app knows what units were used to create it?



(PS sorry for all the posts, just loving the software and want to fully understand it/pass back feedback)
