correct as is Set initial speed different then then actual in game

[skywalker22]

For many many types of aircraft the set speed in the editor is then when in game way lower.

For example, lets take this F-15C, I set it to 700+kn, but when starting the mission, their speed is actually

 

Its not just for AI aircrafts, actually same for for me, for my aircraft. Its a bit annoying, and would be good if this is fixed.

In the ME, you set GS. In your picture, it shows IAS. Two different speeds.

However, IF in your case you have standard temp and no wind, then 390 KIAS translates to 700KTAS.

Corrected conversion

I must correct my conversion: 389KIAS equals 700KTAS, so what you are seeing in DCS is actually correct. You set it to 700Kts GS and the aircraft indeed flies 700Kts GS, which is equal to 389KIAS.

Oh crap, it is really IAS, I wasn't paying attention enough. Sorry. Indeed, you are correct.
