[v25.3 - Geoscape] Conflicting aircraft velocity values

[asdfcyber]

There are several different values for the aircraft I've unlocked:

Xenopedia:
  X-25 Angel    1980 km/h
  X-55 Phantom  2520 km/h
  Skyhawk       7200 km/h  (lol, helicopter doing mach 5+)
Aircraft screen:
  X-25 Angel    2880 km/h
  X-55 Phantom  4800 km/h
  Skyhawk       not mentioned
Geoscape:
  X-25 Angel    2160 km/h
  X-55 Phantom  3600 km/h
  Skyhawk       1125 km/h

Geoscape screens also says 'kph', kilos per hour? Kilos of what? Kilograms?

 

Edit: when dividing the real world distance between a crashsite and my base by the time it took a Skyhawk to fly there, I get roughly 830 km/h. Although that value changes depending on the latitude, because of map projection issues which I'll talk more about later (in a feedback topic).

Obviously, I am just nitpicking here. I mean that kph is not a standard abbreviation, and 'kmph' is used elsewhere in the game.

and you’re right to do it

KPH is definitely more standard than KMPH, but it seems it's mostly a British thing. I can convert the measurements to KM/H for international clarity as it appears that's the official unit of measurement.

Yes, it seems like all of these places are calculating speed differently and need to be unified. I think I'll ensure the radar radius values are calculated in the same way too because they should all be using 3d space in the same way so I'm not sure why they all have different scale factors etc. Hopefully won't take too long anyway.
