    no you NEVER EVER need ANY float, and YOU DON'T want to use ANY float anyway.

    I already heard..."huh using float.. what's the point?" and i really laugh... "point" in french is dot... so translate it the way you want, you should understand what i mean Simple multiplication by 100, 100 or 10000 will solve most see all problem.. the dot is just visual effect you can override it easy using DEG, DIG and whatever else if you really need to DISPLAY it

    Float point routine are just slow and code hungry for nothing... forget about it.

    What's your actual value range you need to change to mph?

    Which version of PBP do you have?

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
