Gauges

I am using the default web pages and gauges. It seems that, although I am using metric units, the cloud base gauge always defaults to feet. Is there a setting for this or can I fix it myself?

Looking at the code for the gauges the units are set by ...
// The units actually displayed will be read from the realtime.txt file, or from the users last visit cookie
I don't see a way to set a different default other than to use the UNITS option on the gauges web page and let the cookie remember this.

There's a setting in Cumulus.ini (in the [Station] section) for this:

Code: Select all

CloudBaseInFeet=1
Mine is set to 1, which is feet. Set it to 0 for metres. Do that with Cumulus switched off, though. There is a page in the Wiki describing this.
