[BUG] Airspeed dial bug

[WeakLink]

Hi all not sure this is a bug or suppose to happen, Just before T/O I set the bug for T/O speed at 140. During the T/O run when you approach the bug///cross the airspeed set, the bug starts to move up as the airspeed increases it follows the air speed needle. My question is, is that what it is suppose to do, is it proper action or is it suppose to remain in place. I am Halfway thru the manual and may have missed it, so I would like to know. Several times now I have gone back to set the bug for landing and the bug was sitting around 200IAS where I did not set it, so very curious behavior. I thought the bug should remain in the place I placed it. Anyway just asking if this is normal behavior.

I noticed this as well without even setting anything myself. The bug keeps running from the needle until it get to around 225 KIAS IIRC. Now having watched through my screenshots I can't see that one on any of them since that side is always masked by the VDI frame. But I noticed that the Mach scale moves as well. When standing on the ground, the .7 mark just comes at the beginning, roughly where 200 KIAS is as well. When speed is picked up, it turns clockwise and my guess is that that bug is just tied to that scale so it moves as well in the lower speeds. At least that makes sense to me now and doesn't look wrong after thinking about it.

Hi, it is a bit difficult to say, because there are in fact three bugs: one is the computed max safe speed, the two others can be set.

 

One is for IAS which should not move. The other one, for MACH however should move with the dial as the mach scale moves. Are you sure you are setting the IAS bug, and not the MACH bug?

 

 

EDIT: definitely a bug, just reproduce it. the IAS bug is the one on the right side, btw, and you have to click in the knob to set it. It should not move, but it does. Thank you again.
