speedbar anyone?
 

Maybe there is already this option in game, but i couldn't find it.

One thing that might be very useful while we are learning the new flight model and engine management, would be the possibility (with a setting in the realism option) to have some foundamental flight parameters immediatly accessible on the HUD: IAS, altitude, RPM, coolant temperature etc.. (maybe even customizable)

I'm having some trouble with the FM because in il-2 it was much easier to guess your IAS by the tendency of your plane to "go up" or down, now i often find myself going extremely slow or fast without noticing. also the CEM requires some training and i think this option would help some of us noobs :-P
