Just a few words to complete a question that I had asked myself a few posts above: the unit of speed displayed in the "MSFS Hud" interface: this debugging interface that can be selected by over-printing on the screen.
After checking with SimVars in which I asked for the display of the airspeed in several units, it turns out that this interface displays the airspeed in KNOTS which, if we have instruments with other units, can be a bit surprising.
This display surprised me because while developing the Aéronca, the person who had asked me several times claimed that I was mistaken since the values between this display and the instrument were different... and for good reason, the gauge display was also in MPH.
Fortunately the engines are always expressed in RPM
