Speedometer

I've seen screenshots of people using a speedometer that's in MPH on the test track, however I don't see an option to change the speedometer to MPH, so currently I'm stuck with KMH (which I can't read very well). Is there a file I have to edit? If so, what file?

What have you set in the units options screen? (in options, on the front page)

Re: Speedometer

My options are set for MPH, but on test track I still get KPH.

Re: Speedometer

I can confirm what Zab says. My options are set to MPH but the speedo has always been in KPH.

Re: Speedometer

I've got units set to MPH, but it's still in KMH. I know for a fact I've seen them in MPH before.

Re: Speedometer

Yes, it will give you stats in the list in MPH (if you've chosen to do so in the Options menu), but the test track speedometer always shows km/h. It's not a difficult conversion to do in your head, but it does seem to not be changeable in the game. I remember reading something last spring about this being implemented at some point, but I'll be damned if I can find it now.

Re: Speedometer

Ahh, you're quite right yes. We'll make sure both are available eventually.
