i have the option set to KM/H, but still many many cars have MPH in the cockpit, which is quite irritating if you are not used to mph at all and the screen-speedometer shows km/h.
If an american Muscle-Car only shows MPH in cockpit, okay, but a lamborghini, bmw etc. etc. ?
That setting only changes the HUD display to KM/H. The actual dash gauges in the cars cannot be changed.
I have the reverse problem, I’m used to MPH and in the process of getting more familiar with KPH. However, I actually find it very useful to have two different readouts of my speed, one in MPH for the HUD and the cockpit display showing KPH. This lets me slowly learn what KPH speeds correspond with my more familiar MPH.
From a realism perspective, I can see that cars with the ability IRL to toggle MPH/KPH on the digital speedo should respect the UI settings, but realistically this would also likely depend on where the car was sold and what dash unit was put in.
I’m not sure why you’re seeing this issue with BMW and Lamborghini, in my game with the HUD set to MPH the digital speedos show speeds in KPH for these cars. Usually I only see MPH on actual American cars.
i’m also not sure why i’m seeing it with bmw and lambo…i can’t remember all cars, but every 2nd car i drive seems to be in mph. lamborghini reventon as example i know for sure.
yeah, if i set KM/H (metric) in HUD, the cars should use it aswell…obviously (except those restricted to mph)
The in-car dash will use whatever units were on the real car that Turn 10 scanned. Since they are an American company, the majority of the “world” cars in the game would have been LHD American-delivered models and thus use MPH. For cars that were not available in the US (such as RHD JDM or Australian cars) they would use the relevant units from those countries (km/h), however these are much less common in-game (although a bunch of them would also have been LHD from Europe, but most of continental Europe uses km/h)
This is because scanned car has mph dials. And in America you see BMWs, etc. with mph dials.
Japanese are worse, the speedo only goes up to 180 kph due to the law there, makes it unusable. 
I think we should have an option to have MPH or KMH in cars that actually come that way to the States or over seas.
Don’t known if I’m the only one but I wish that the cars with an Actual HUD inside actually displayed it like Gran Turismo 5+ yrs ago.
I converted speed here: Сonvert kilometer/hour to mile/hour
Then got used to both.
Hope it helps)
i just want the gauges to be original from country where the cars are from , so BMWs cant have MPH and so on
Just wait until you use a car with a km/h cluster but it’s calibrated as mph.
I’m an mph guy so for me it’s a welcomed bug.
Nah American game should use American units. Go make european game company and make your own racing game with km/h everywhere
Thanks, you make America great again. my hero!

golf mk2 has a kph clock , but runs at mph , just horrible
