Heli Hud Gauge Tweaking

ok guys, here's one for you... I download a HeliHud gauge (bg_helihud.gau - http://www.hovercontrol.com/cgi-bin/ifo ... =and  --- the one on the left)

while I do like everything that this gauge shows.. there is only 1 thing that I do not.  Ambiant Temperature. It is in Celcius and I only know and fly with Farenheight (I live in "The States"; we don't really use the metric system here)

in the XML for that gauge, the line that controls the Temperature readout is:

(A:ambient temperature, celsius) 9 <= if{ 0 (>L:EnvTempColour, enum) } els{ (A:ambient temperature, celsius) 28 >= if{ 2 (>L:EnvTempColour, enum) } els{ 1 (>L:EnvTempColour, enum) } }


How can I change this to Farenheight and it show properly?    change the A:ambient temperature, celsius to A:ambient temperature, farenheight ???

about as much as i know of the Metric system.. is: 0*c = 32*F ...... and 40*C = ~105*F....     and that is only because the first part of it is from 5 years of High sKeWwwL Edgeumakayshion (education for those of you that actually Lernd something.. lol) .. and the 2nd part is from talking to a few Brits on the server that I fly on and me trying to tell them how hot of a day it was durring the summer.


I dont deal in Celcius.  I like Farenheight.  I will NOT learn Celcius just to fly a plane.




Thats like where I live we have a really bad problem with Illegal Aliens coming into OUR ****ENGLISH**** country, and they can not speak 1 word of it, and our own government is forcing OUR kids to learn THEIR language so that we can understand them.     [smiley=huh.gif] [smiley=huh.gif] [smiley=angry.gif] [smiley=angry.gif]  WTH??? they came here and we get punished???? Send em home if they dont want to learn OUR culture and language ----- but that is another post and rant in itself.

I always fly in celsius.

<=0 Freezing, turn on the heaters.

> 0 Not freezing, turn off the heaters.

Yeah...I just memorized a few Celsius temperature reference points, but that's all this American needs right now.  :D
