Woo hoo! Just a few short months in the source tree and already YASim is *much* more important than BaloonSim. World domination, here I come! As far as the SI vs. English units go, I restate my declared neutrality. While doing calculations *in* SI units is much safer and easier, I also see the advantages to representing them externally in traditional units. Typical (North American, anyway) altimeters still report feet, VSI indicators read in fpm, etc... Panel authors are in a poorer position to do the conversion than the FDM folks are. Andy -- Andrew J.
