I used a method accurate enough for that purpose, the margin for error in terms of vertical speed and top speed is really a matter of few percents. Agree it can be nearly zero with a better method.

By retro engineering I mean flight testing in order to determine what was set inside the code.

By the way, could you have a look at the vertical speed dials ? I looked at the Mk II spit and got nonsense values, if you could check with you method, It would be interesting. I determined about 30% error low sea level and a 200% at 18'000 ft (the VSI higher by factor of 1.3 to 2 from SL to alt).

Aircraft IAS looks right versus map scale and time checks. Altimeter can only be assumed to give correct reading, I see no obvious way to cross check.
