[BUG] Ground speed indication independent of pitch

[Bestandskraft]

The groundspeed indication both on the ECMD and the TID does not take into account the aircraft's pitch.

 

For example, in a no wind situation, with 90° positive or negative pitch (disregarding AoA), your groundspeed should be zero.

 

In the game, in this example, the groundspeed instead equals true airspeed.

 

While I have found no information in the RL or game manuals on how the actual aircraft calculates and displays groundspeed, the behaviour described above seems counterintuitive.
