Default Speed of Aircraft

Gents,

I'm not sure how to put this, but I think the in-game speed of aircraft is wrong, and I'd like someone to put me right on this.

I played the SP level where you had to transport the BF-110 up the coast, and left it on autopilot. The speed gauge registered 430 kmph throughout, and when I took over to go NOE, at the same speed, it seemed more like a gentle rail journey than 430 kmph. Coupled with that, I had an approach speed to the runway of 260 kmph, which seems outrageous, though it only felt like I was coasting. On landing I was apparently doing over 50 kmph, but I seemed that I was barely ticking along.

I have this unnerving feeling that a decimal point in the coding has slipped and something is fundamentally wrong. I've landed on commercial jets doing 150 - 180 knots, and it doesn't tally with my in-game experience. Perhaps someone with more real life & sim experience than me may allay my fears.

Thanks in advance,

Bo109
