Looks like the HUD Airspeed indicator is not matching the cockpit gauge.

Stache, OK we found the issue fixed in V1.19.

I think the same thing maybe off in the Hurricane . But as a newbie i could be wrong, when being given instructions to fly at a certain speed from the Tac i look at the cockpit dial then the Hud dial and finally the Hud info and it doesn't match up. please could you let me know if i am wrong.

Thanks. Note the Z key readout displays True Air Speed, and the cockpit dial displays Indcated Air Speed which differ anyway. There could be a slight difference between the HUD dial (IAS) and the cockpit dial but it's not huge.

Perhaps one is assuming African swallow while the other is assuming European?

Sorry I couldn't resist biggrin.

Funny as it is, it is actually something like that. The speed in the cockpit is via animation in the 3D model. The dial in the onscreen HUD is done via angles and speeds and then the sim animates according to that.

If someone has the time they can test and edit the viewui.xml settings

found in C:\Users\<YOUR_LOGON_NAME>\AppData\Roaming\OBD_Games\OBDWW2 Wings Over The Reich

in this section..
<HUDAirspeed BGImage="hud_guages.dds" BGPos="345 343" BGSize="166 166" NeedleImage="hud_guages.dds">
<Needle1 Pos="372 22" Size="104 25" Center="31 12" Offset="90" TableSize="9">
<DataTable Entry0="0.0 0.0" Entry1="50.0 8.0" Entry2="100.0 44.0" Entry3="150.0 89.0" Entry4="200.0 135.0" Entry5="250.0 185.0" Entry6="300.0 233.0" Entry7="400.0 263.5" Entry8="500.0 289.0" Entry9="700.0 344.0"/>
</Needle1>
</HUDAirspeed>

for example
Entry1="50.0 8.0"

Speed then angle of the needle .. 50 mph , 8.0 degrees..

It would help.

I just flew a 109 mission and just discovered this huge difference between the HUD and cockpit speed indicator (not close at all). I have the latest updates btw. It just happens with the 109, not the Hurricane or Spit. Just an FYI.
