Is there a way to configure the flight data output to make the units Imperial instead of metric?
-
no, but should not be a big thing to implement this.
I see the
m
for the height andkm/h
for speed, so what are the correct imperial units?ft
form
?
mph
forkm/h
? -
@karsten13
Yes, ft and mphThanks!!
-
new version is released with new config option
units
, see https://gitlab.com/khassel/MMM-Flights/-/blob/master/MMM-Flights.js#L41update 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 …

Hope this helps

so you see the area points.Ah, OK, I’ll change the font size down a bit.
But I have to rethink this behavior or provide an option for a fixed width.

Yes, it did work before I applied an update this morning
Thanks for your help.
