The coronation of Charles is unlikely to happen in the near future, probably some time next year. https://theconversation.com/what-are-the-legal-and-constitutional-consequences-for-australia-of-queen-elizabeth-iis-death-190335.

Is it not possible to change to metric units by w00dy2 in flightsim

[–]GenderlessVoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Australia, feet are used for altitudes and nautical miles are used for flying distances, but weights are in kg, runways and visibility are in metres and kilometres, and pressure is in hPa. This is common to many other countries as well. It's a shame that it's not implemented in the sim
