Always seemed pretty straightforward to me, but I don't know a lot of real world aeronautical jargon.  What would be better nomenclature?  'Drop speed'?

Seems to be it would be pretty clear if it went something like

Drop speed
Speed
Drop Alt
Alt

As long as that term is not used for anything else it works, so "drop speed" & "drop alt" work just fine.

Exactly the point I was trying to make sir, thank you.  BTW, that is a current screen shot.

The patch from last night allegedly added in the current speed indicator, I haven't gotten into a 4 engine since to test though.

Nothing on the home page about a recent patch...  :headscratch:

Log in to the game and it will patch it.  Nothing on the home page, but the patch is there.  Maybe because it just fixes what should have been in patch 2 and was left out.

I had been using the E6B to obtain this capability.
