@HyperPatch Thank you for a straight answer regarding this. Hope 0.9.600 changes things enough.

@SNSA there’s a reason math exists. I mean to say that Jundroo could think of the idea of wind like in SimplePlanes, but unlike that game’s 2 dimensional map, we’re talking about planets. Sure you could add some blanket wind that applies to the entire planet going east, but wouldn’t it be cool if they constructed a rudimentary weather system with Jet Streams (useful for aircraft, if you wanted a 350kph tailwind that is), clouds and other effects?

Why get flustered over “needless” math when it could be something interesting to add to the game? You wouldn’t even have to see it. It wouldn’t have to apply to all planets, and would differ depending on the fluctuating temperatures between different areas of certain planets.

@Insanity sure they are earth specific but so is the Newton (equal to the force required to accelerate one kg by one meter per second squared) which is also equal to an average sized apple (1N, or 1kg/9.8N). Aside from that the pascal is still an approved SI unit, and the bar is important for measuring air pressure especially if it can be said that different atmospheres on different planets have differing rates of pressure depending on their atmospheric density AND the temperature.

Air pressure in game would allow for weather and realistic water physics, for the added challenge, of course!

@SNSA atmosphere as a unit is definitely by all means an imperial measurement, but I could make an argument for bars.

Don’t understand?

A bar is a derivation of a unit derived from the ISU. By which I mean the pascal. So how is that a problem? It is still given the freedom to use to authors by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and the Meteorological society at large.

Atmospheres/bars are a very earth specific measurement and not really scientific, meaning they would have to be converted for certain calculations.

@SNSA

What do you mean insane?
