I see that you are in the US, so if your Open Rails General Options are set so that "Other Units" is set to "System", then ORTS will have used the settings from your Windows "Language and Region" setup to chose the units for the F5 HUD. The F4 display is set by the data in the route files.
Open the Open Rails Options panel, and select "Metric" for "Other Units" while you are running metric country routes.
I posted a similar complaint earlier, before the system was explained to me.
(This info will be in the book! (the Manual) - next release.)
Cheers,
Sid.

Oh geez, is there a way that it will automatically work the F5 menu rather than having to constantly change it manually...?

Otto, in general metric locos are run in metric routes, and not metric locos in not metric routes. If this does not occur, it is only in test runs, so the two solutions are - almost - equivalent.

I'd really like the System/Player's location option to work in the UK - so in the code, that probably means setting IsUK to true when the region is detected as UK and then making sure the unit conversions understand that IsMetric == true && IsUK == true means they should actually use imperial units in certain cases (like velocity in MPH).

I think it can be easily implemented. Is there a similar wish of Canadian and Australian users? If yes, then what do they prefer? Switch to UK style or US style?
