GS vs Airspeed

[Antonius678]

Hello, I have a problem. I wanted to know if it’s possible to fly more than 340 knots on a b777-200LR or any other device. Because sometimes I see other players flying at 480 knots at the same altitude and I can fly that 340 knots how to do? (I am grade 2 and 0 violations)

Welcome to the community!

You are seeing ground speed of other aircrafts, not airspeed.

Check out this tutorial:

Understanding different types of speeds

There are 4 different types of speed we are going to be covering in this tutorial. Indicated airspeed (IAS) True airspeed (TAS) Ground speed (GS) Mach speed (M) Indicated airspeed (IAS) [image] Indicated airspeed is what we see inside the plane. This is how we judge when to rotate, when we are approaching a stall. Or any other critical flight dynamic. There is also such thing as Calibrated airspeed (CAS) which is IAS corrected for Installation errors. We don’t have that in IF, but dur…

You see ground speed for the other planes. You see airspeed in your hub.

I recommend you to choose ground speed and airspeed both in the screen. You will understand everything.

Also maybe do a YouTube search on on ground speed and airspeed. You’d be surprised how much information you can get from there.
