apparently the new forza motorsport is so shoddy selecting imperial measurements doesnt actually convert vehicle weights and such, the number stays the same it just displays lbs instead of kg

@coolbeans IIRC, in the localisation of the Amiga game "Shuttle: The Space Flight Simulator", the volume of the crew compartment (2325 cubic feet) was converted into cubic metres by multiplying it by 0.31² (an incorrectly-rounded formula for area).

@coolbeans It's even worse than I remembered. They just divided 2325 by 3.1 to get 750 cubic meters (26,500 cubic feet). Talk about crew comforts!
