Thanks for your support both of you! 80kph acording to NET is 50mph. Though other say it's 60mph. For further details on the tram check out http://www.thetram.net

100 kp/h is 62 mph. So 80 is around 50.

I use a simple system for conversions but you need to be able to think in 16s

16kmh ~= 10mph
32kmh ~= 20mph
48kmh ~= 30mph
64kmh ~= 40mph
80kmh ~= 50mph
96kmh ~= 60mph

You will see that using my system 60mph is a little int out however this doesn't really matter to me as the chances of me getting any where near even 50mph on my bike is remote anyway (a mate did it and says its scary as hell, the challenge has been thrown)

The actual conversion is

1 km = 0.6211 miles
10km = 6.211miles

Straight from the Google's mouth -

80 kph = 49.7096954 mph

So, in any value that means anything, 80kph = 50 mph :)

just type

80kph in mph

into the google toolbar and you get the result.

works for feet in metres and a whole lot of other convertions too.

Well, if you've not seen them, take a look at the screenshots from my early development of the NET route for MSTS on the Screenshot forum.
