Dear Heatblur could you please confirm is this intended behavior or a bug.

When I do a cold-start, after the mission load while still looking at the menu, airspeed indicator shows "0" as it should be?

Then, the moment you click "Start / Unpause" indication jumps to "80 Knots" on a cold jet. (logically it should be "0")

here is a photo of real cockpit, and it shows "0" in a cold state, not "80"

After taking off and gaining an altitude I intentionally entered a flat spin, indication +- "80 Knots" (again, logically it should be "0")

Our DCS F-14 is unable to show speeds below 80 knots, is it a realistic behavior?

What should be cold and dark state of an airspeed indicator? :book:

 

Thanks!

AS Indicator should display 0 at rest - if it doesn't it is in need of a servicing.

On the a/c I flew on we had a specific cross-check between indicators at 80 knots where the co called '80 knots' and the pilot checked his showed the same - if not then was an abort.

On the plus side they could do that check while still parked on the ramp if in the F-14 it seems lol.

And I can confirm the same issue in RIO pit:

minimum displayed speed is 80 knots, when airplane is cold and dark it's 80 as well as when in spin.
