Jonas Eberle Posted February 17, 2010 at 01:17 PM Posted February 17, 2010 at 01:17 PM Which unit is the Vertical Speed Tag Item in? I found it shows about 2.2 x the value in ft/min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todor Atanasov 878664 Posted February 17, 2010 at 03:38 PM Posted February 17, 2010 at 03:38 PM It is feet/min but because it is calculated from the altitude report and there is no time-stamp when that altitude was taken it is not very accurate.

Jonas Eberle Posted February 17, 2010 at 05:34 PM Author Posted February 17, 2010 at 05:34 PM I used the Tag Item "Vertical Speed" from TagItems.dll of Oliver Grützmann (http://board.vacc-sag.org/129/40907/) to compare the values. The TagItems.dll's values seem correct, while the standard Tag Item values are quite constant at a factor of 2.2 higher. I verified the correctness by a stopwatch, also. Both values are also quite constant, no lag in there. I will ask Oliver Grützmann what he changed in his .dll. I am curious why the standard differs. m/s would be ft/min divided by ~18, so that cannot be meant. (PS: I am not using the TagItems.dll, because the Items do not react to the selected color/font in the Tag Setup - it always remains the main item color) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Gruetzmann Posted February 17, 2010 at 06:17 PM Posted February 17, 2010 at 06:17 PM I use the given value and divide it by 200. If you like, I can try 220, but I found / 200 very precise (I did it simpler: I asked pilots ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
