Come on mate you are pulling in no sense argue, everybody can notice a 10/km/h difference, you have a bloody withe mark on the speed gauge to read your speed and the resolution on todays computers are mostly 1680 x 1050 or 1920 x 1080 or even higher, so resolution isn't a problem to read the gauges, also you have a lovely label that tells you the speed, but there's no way that anybody miss a 50km/h gap so please stop this argument, your graphic show that 50km/h gap from closed to open.

Already covered that mate.. here is a re-post of what I said earlier wrt 'real' life vs. 'sim' life

That is just one of many types of feedback the sim pilot does not have, thus all the more reason to log your data while you fly on top of making a track file
Which covers the difference between 'real flying and 'sim' flying..

Which also apply to your example of 'real' car driving vs. 'sim' car driving..

With a little difference.. That being blue sky vs. ground clutter.. Which driving a car, be it real or sim, you have more 'reference' points along your path that give you a 'cue' to how fast you are going.

That being a pilots's 'perception' of what is going on can be very different from what is 'actually' going on.
