Greetings,

Question about open flight data base physical units. When I create my open
flight database in creator, I specify the physical units for the database
i.e. feet, meters, kilometers, etc. Is there anyway from the performer API
at runtime to get the type of physical units specified for the database?

I ask because there are problems if I load a database whose units are in
meters but I do all my motion calculations in feet. Unfortunately I need to
know the database unit type at runtime because sometimes I won't know what
the physical database units are beforehand.

Is there a way to do what I am trying to do?

Thanks a bunch.
