Millibars and Pounds

I have changed the general settings to hybrid so that I can get millibars for online flight and feet for altitude but this has also changed the fuel weight to kgs. Anyone know of any undocumented workaround for this so that it will show fuel weight in pounds?

Thanks.

Isn't there an option to switch from Metric to Imperial measurements in Settings or somewhere?

If you can't get it to change, 2.2 kilograms equals 1 pound.

Thanks guys. Seems likely conversion is the only way

Yes but it changes everything - pressure and weight.

In FS9 you could add the above link to the Kneeboard.
