September 3, 20205 yr Just wondering how detailed the new sim is. Can I calculate TAS to compare to book values with deviations from standard deg C at altitude? Or is everyday a standard day. When Pigs Fly . Ray Marshall .
September 3, 20205 yr Temperature is affected by weather and altitude. So yes you can calculate TAS unless you fly G1000 than TAS is displayed under speed tape.

So I gather the actual TAS will vary slightly from day to day at any given altitude. Thanks. When Pigs Fly . Ray Marshall .
September 4, 20205 yr But beware of accuracy of the data you get. For example, the C152 OAT indicator is off. Besides, testing the atmosphere I noticed that in the 'Clear skies' preset the lapse rate is way higher than standard and there is no way one can set the lapse rate manually. I also remember that density altitude was not affected by temperature, need to confirm if it is fixed.
