Well, apart from the UK game which has imperial speed (mph) and power (hp) but metric track lengths (m) and weight (kg).Yeah, it's all metric or all imperial. You can't mix and match.
The same people who think that PS (CV/Ch/etc) is a good unit to measure power. Don't even get me started on that.But most of all, who thought that that kgm is a good unit to measure torque.
You don't like metric?The same people who think that PS (CV/Ch/etc) is a good unit to measure power. Don't even get me started on that.
The correct unit would be kw but tbh I don't have any relation with it whereas PS is just the unit to measure power for meYou don't like metric?
I love metric. But the metric unit of power is watts.You don't like metric?
PS is a bastardised conversion from the Imperial unit of horsepower. It takes the Imperial unit, which is defined as 550 multiplied by 1 foot multiplied by 1 pound, divided by one second (1hp = 550lbft/s) and simply converts it into metric units and rounds it off to the nearest attractive number, with no regard for the metric system. 1PS is 75kgm/s, because there's 2.205 pounds in a kilogram and 3.281 feet in a metre, and 550 divided by (2.205 x 3.281) is 76.02 and that's not very attractive so let's round it off to 75. It's not even like horsepower was right in the first place - it was a fudge that Watt used to sell steam engines - so it's just nonsense piled on nonsense.
You use watts exclusively then?I love metric. But the metric unit of power is watts.
Same here.The correct unit would be kw but tbh I don't have any relation with it whereas PS is just the unit to measure power for me
Depends on the context. In daily mutterings, I use horsepower more often than not because I'm 40 and British. Professionally I always use watts as a reference value - primarily because car manufacturers use PS but label it as hp (because PS means "horsepower" so they can get away with it). In fact the only press release I've seen recently to draw any distinction between PS and hp was the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. You'll notice that GTP's news pieces that quote hp are almost always 1.4% lower than other outlets because we always use the SI power as a reference.You use watts exclusively then?
For me as well. Never used anything else other than CV and Nm, but I was stuck with kW in Forza and now with HP/Kgm in GT. Devs really don't like to give us different options..The correct unit would be kw but tbh I don't have any relation with it whereas PS is just the unit to measure power for me
And on top of that they had the nerve to call it metric horsepower You must be fumingPS is an abomination created from throwing metric units at an Imperial measurement with no regard for the actual metric system.
Yep - every time I see a press release with PS in it (which is about ten times a day) I yell at itAnd on top of that they had the nerve to call it metric horsepower You must be fuming
Be happy that you don‘t read any German articlesYep - every time I see a press release with PS in it (which is about ten times a day) I yell at it
