IVA speed units and altitude.

[Shaun]

While there are many mods that can change the speed and altitude units on the navball, I've yet to find one that changes the speed units in IVA/cockpit views. It would be nice if there was a way to change speed units, which would be more useful to atmospheric vehicles. A digital altitude display would also be nice.

Otherwise, being able to see the navball in IVA would be nice.

Why does it matter what the speed/altitude units are in?

Just learn whatever they are by default.

You do it all the time in other games; learning made up in universe currencies, stats, and terms. I don't use the metric system in real life, but it was easy enough to learn it in relation to KSP the game. If they used "Kerbo-meters/Kerbo-Glugons an hour" or something like that would it be any different? Something tells me changing those IVA scenes would be a lot of work, which is why it hasn't been modded in already. You could check out some of the RPM cockpit stuff, it's a long shot but maybe someone out there has something like that.
