VNAV speed data

Super piece of work - replaces my japanese freeware MD-83.

When I set up the VNAV speeds in the FMC, they come up as true air speeds (ie 477 kts) which makes a bit of a mess, given that I use the indicated airspeeds, which rarely exceed 290 kts, which is Mach 0.78 at 30,000ft+ altitude.

Is there a way of changing the FMC to operate on indicated air speed or have the aircraft convert?

Many thanks

Rob

Hi Rob
I didn't make the FMC ,to be honest I don't even know yet how to manipulate it ,what I know is a master piece made by Garrett Smith which I tried to contact him and still trying ..

Its all XML well and excellent coded (this guy must be a genius)

If you want to disconect the FMC ,just get into the panel.cfg and add this //// in the following lines

[Window02]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=341,500
position=6
visible=0
ident=FMC

//////gauge00=HoneywellFMC!fmc, 0,0,341,500

[Vcockpit02]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=1024
visible=1
pixel_size=1024
texture=$Gauges2


/////gauge40=HoneywellFMC!fmc, 6,656,184,268

Its all I can do Rob
