That is not what I said in post #622 based on the graph in the report. In the simulation the airplane gained 10 ft and that is equivalent to 1 kt of airspeed.The graph is a computer/plotter generated record of the simulated flight. How accurately were the plotter pens aligned with the millimeter raster on the paper ? The scales and the Habsheim points have been handwritten on that plot with lesser accuracy. The wind at Habsheim was variable. Thus a difference of one or two knots is easily masked by other factors. It is ridiculous to dismiss the simulation for no other reason than that you can't see a difference of one knot on that plot.
