kmph instead mph

General discussion about Rail Simulator that doesn't really fit in to any specific category. A good place to start if you're not sure what category it should fit in to as well.

kmph instead mph

Post by vlado960 »

Hi,
I have a steam locomotive which is almost done but I have a problem about speed display. Since this is Middle European locomotive I need speed in km/h. What should I do that in the game it shows 90 kmph, instead of 56 mph?

Thank you.

I think units of measurement are set by the track rule in its .xml/bin file. You could try changing it from Imperial to Metric and see how it goes but I expect a full backup would be in order first.

Thank you so much. I didn't know that's so simple. I just moved the loco to other tracks within the same test route. Now, I know that this is connected to the track rule. Thank you again.

Don't forget to do a backup first. You might find that you're change all routes that use that track rule, and it might cause unexpected problems with scenarios.

Hi vlado960,

I just saw your homepage by clicking on the link in your signature.

The locomotive you are working on looks great! I wish you good luck with this project Image

By the way i had to use the translation tool from Google wich you embed on your homepage, that works very good.
