Hi John,
These are committed, thanks!
There was one significant change in behaviour which I've reverted for now.
Previously, inches were used globally by default, unless
/sim/atc/use-millibars was set in which case millibars were used in the UK.
Your patch rightly removed the UK-centric nature of the code and expanded
millibar usage to all non-US or Canada countries, but also set millibars to
be used regardless of that property, with that property forcing millibar
usage for the US and Canada as well when set true.
I've reverted to the previous behaviour for that property, which means that
inches are used globally by default, and if the user sets that property then
millibars are used everywhere except US and Canada. I realise that that
means that the incorrect units are used in most countries by default,
whereas your code used the correct units in most countries by default, but
as far as I can tell FG's altimeter setting dialog and most (all?) of the
knollsman windows only have inches, regardless of worldwide location of the
airplane, so I didn't want to upset the current behaviour so close to a
release.
If I'm wrong, and FG's aircraft do have millibar support for altimeters,
I'll put it back. I'll put it back after the release anyway, to encourage
millibar/hectapascal support :-)
Cheers - Dave
