@KI6UVE no, just restart mm

Is there a way to configure the flight data output to make the units Imperial instead of metric?

[karsten13]

@KI6UVE

no, but should not be a big thing to implement this.

I see the m for the height and km/h for speed, so what are the correct imperial units?

ft for m?
mph for km/h?

[KI6UVE]

@karsten13
Yes, ft and mph

Thanks!!

@KI6UVE

new version is released with new config option units, see https://gitlab.com/khassel/MMM-Flights/-/blob/master/MMM-Flights.js#L41

update instructions for the module: https://gitlab.com/khassel/MMM-Flights#update-to-new-versions

Awesome!! vielen Dank

I have MMM-Flights working well except mapFixedArea: true, seems to be ignored.

The map changes width depending upon the ac in the area.

Also the map shows even with no traffic and showMap: “ifTraffic”,

Any ideas or thoughts?

@lif can u show the config for this module

yes, the map changes width because of the length of the flight data in the table below, the area inside the map does not change. You can test this with setting mapFontColor: "red", so you see the area points.

But I have to rethink this behavior or provide an option for a fixed width.

Also the map shows even with no traffic and showMap: “ifTraffic”,

will look into this, I did a rewrite of the module so maybe this was lost …
