Air Flow Indication

[PeterB]

Running Open Rails test version 1.5.1-1339.

I note that there is now an indication of air flow rate within the Train Monitor (F5 key). The air flow seems to be shown as liters per second (L/s).

A useful indication as to air charging progress (apart from air pressure indications). However, given that the train speed and air pressures are in imperial units, I think it would be more appropriate to show the air flow rate as cubic feet per minute (as is usual on (American) locomotives I believe). Alternatively show the flow rate perhaps as cubic feet per second (not usual in real world applications I believe).

Can the flow rate be adjusted to imperial units as suggested, please?

Cubic feet per minute is shown when the units are not set to metric (either by the route, or by user settings).

'Thank you for your comment.

The route I'm currently running on is the North East Corridor (in the USA). So I would have expected all of the parameter units to be in imperial form. But for whatever reason(s) this route displays the air flow in L/s instead of the expected cfm (cubic feet per minute)?

Anyway, to check on displayed units, I found you open the Options dialog within Open Rails main dialog window and under General tab select the Imperial US for Other Units. Doing so will force the air flow to display in cfm.
