Hi Aaron, I've a tiny little UI request!

Can you add a display of the number of square kilometers and/or square miles below the usual X * Y display in the heightfield sizer.

Not only would it'd save me a bit of mental arithmetic, quite a lot of virtual worlds and large open games give their land mass size in these units. I find it inspirational to make worlds that rival their size. It's actually one of the reasons I upgraded to the Pro version!

I can then sit and daydream about having 150 artists to fill a 500Km^2 world with stuff for me

I like this request. Some more digits would be useful too.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the suggestions. I've added an area display to the heightfield size wizard, and also changed the code such that at least 3 significant figures are always provided, as shown below:

...and/or square miles...

I have no plans at this time to support customary units. Apologies to residents of Burma, Liberia, and the United States.

Cheers,
Aaron.

Thanks very much!

My Imperial mind will just have to cope with your fancy "science units" while I sip tea and eat crumpets while looking through pictures of the Queen stored in a foolscap envelope.

NEAT! Thx Aaron!

Good addition!
