Why don´t these figures match up?

-> Go ahead and and start the FMB, let any given plane fly for 3minutes on autopilot at your prefered speed and check the distance they've traveled afterwards on the map with icons on.

If any of the planes Give you the expected and correct value of distance +\-500m come back and share the results.

Otherwise stfu and let people talk who did some efford to the topic. Looking forward...

Flying 206kmh the Hurry should travel a distance of 10,3 km in 3 minutes. the actual distance flown is 13.3 km instead. That's a 33% too slow speed gauge!

I'm wondering if the stall speeds and such crucial values follow the actual speed or only the speed gauge. So landing speed for example could always be too high because the wrong speed indicator

I will take the NaBlin challenge... I will fly a distance using the balloons mentioned earlier, so that I know I'm flying straight. I'm not sure that my trial and the AI would be any different. But I would like to try the Hur just to see what happens with a highly skilled human pilot at the controls ha ha.
