Units

Some readouts always use one system, whatever you choose:

  • The round dial instruments in the cockpit always read airspeed in knots, altitude in feet, and climb rate in thousands of feet a minute.
  • The map screen shows your altitude in feet and ground speed in knots, and distances in both kilometres and nautical miles.

Training traffic

With Training traffic on, offline flights have company: friendly jets on their own circuits and enemy jets on patrol. The enemies are AI pilots who find you on their radar, lock you, fire missiles and use the gun, and defend themselves when you shoot at them. It is good practice for combat. It has no effect online.
