On a 'standard day' they should be virtually identical providing the CoD ASI is actually showing the 'Calibrated' airspeed. Calibrated airspeed is the airspeed that an ASI usually shows corrected for errors caused by the position of the sensor or pitot tube but I don't know if position error is modelled in CoD. If you want a headache see:-

The complexities gather......

Assume its a standard day and the ASI reading = 'calibrated' = True Airspeed at sea level. You'll lose less sleep.

Anyone know what kind of day we have in CoD?
