Question

OK Airbus people-in comparison to the vertical tape airspeed display on older planes such as Lockheed 1011, C-141 and C-5 transports, how is the Airbus different, or is pilot perception and interpretation about the same, except for the Lockheed's probable lack of a trend vector, if you call it that? Air Force pilots seem to have said that they got used to the vertical tape for most flight (except for ADI/HSI) and engine instruments quickly.
