TAS = true airspeed. The speed shown by speedbar and gauges is IAS, Indicated Airspeed, where effects of temperature and pressure are not fixed.
In game IAS = TAS at sea level, in Crimean map, the higher you fly the more TAS is compared to IAS... Was it 4% more per every climbed 1000ft/0.3km?
In real life gauges can be calibrated to an altitude and pressure that is not sea level normal pressure at normal temperature (0C), though. Sometimes multiple differently calibrated gauges for both altitude and speed are used, together with GPS and even inertial systems.
