Change displayed GS to IAS

Hey all! I think the displayed speed for you if you’re flying or ATC should be in IAS.

Group flights:
I feel like in group flights you never know what speed the pilot ahead is at so you have to do many adjustments.

ATC:
It would give a better indication to the controller of your actual airspeed if you are told to maintain say 210kts. The controller can easily see you are maintaining that speed instead of looking at the ground speed conversion.

They way it is now is fine and is based off real world operations. Aircraft don’t transmit their airspeed to tower, approach or center. This feature might sound like a good idea but it isn’t practical and realistic.

I didn’t think about that… well, scratch the idea. I like things realistic.
