	Hi guys, just purchased the 757-200. I ACE set KGS and all the stuff and saved. Bird loaded. In MCDU still LB at the PERF PAGE. At the Fuel gauges at OVHT panel stands KGS. So what to do to get the KGS also in MCDU ? Thanks in advance... Steffen Rabenau Stevens VA

	That's just the way it is. The FMS is in pounds, while the overhead gauges are in Kilos. I don't know how to change it in the FMS so I modified my overhead fuel panel to display the fuel in pounds so it matches the FMS though. Here is the Topic to explain how to do it: http://www.captainsim.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1245096833 Mark

Nepo Then it is obvious that to see KGS in the FMS you need to set the Settings > General > International > Unit of measure to Metric (meters, millibars). I use U.S. System (feet, inches) and not Metric or a combination of both. It's worth checking it out. Thanks for steering me to the answer Nepo. Mark
