Units

[MadzRanger]

Hi guys
my MTBF stays in Miles what ever I try to change in the unit selection I've seen a lot of people with MTBF in Kilometers

same goes for the economy measurement, it's in g/kwh even if I selected L/100k

by the way, Great game I love it !, run smooth even with setting at the maximum, if it can help here's my config
I5 3570K
8gb Ram
Geforce GTX 660ti TOP
Intel 520 2x60gb Raid 0

Im noticing some loading lag after 2 or 3 hours of playing, by exemple, when I chose a major componnent it freeze for a second or 2 than it load

Sorry for my english !

here goes the screenshot

I think it might be because you have length selected in feet, that it's decided that all lengths (including distances) should be in Imperial units.

g/kwhr is a valid metric measurement, you'll not see L/100km until you put the engine in a car, because you can't determine that kind of economy without knowing the weight, gearing and aerodynamics of the car it's in.

And because we are discussing Economy, what do we know about it? Is it about engine efficiency (power to fuel consumption ratio)? I've seen 1.5L and 6.2L engines with almost the same Economy %, but I'm pretty sure that the bigger one will consume at least thrice as much.

EDIT: Nevermind

Thanks you, it make sense,
the wiki help me understand the g/kwh

You might want to read my post here, it explains why larger engines are similar in efficiency at full throttle, but the lack of economy comes when you have to run a big powerful engine at low throttle settings, as compared to working a small engine hard.
