OK, here's a test version of a modded mod for the curious. This one has ALL the speed/altitude readouts in increments of 1.
http://webpages.uah.edu/~pacificfighter ... sTest1.rar
I tested this out again last night, and it actually wasn't as bad as I thought it was the first time I tried several days ago.
The single digit airspeed increments weren't hard to read and were quite helpful on landings, particularly carrier landings.
The altitude readout wasn't bad when set to meters. The only one I really don't like is the altitude in feet. Since a foot is only 1/3 the size of a meter, the numbers are spinning about 3 times as fast as they do when set to meters. It's hard to read, and I don't think it really gives you any more useful information.
So I could see the usefulness of a version of this mod that had all speed/altitude readouts in increments of 1, except for altitude in feet, which I'd suggest 5 ft increments (which is only a little bigger than one meter).
But anyway for now you asked to see one with EVERYTHING in increments of 1, so that's what this TEST mod does.
Install this one the same way you installed the SmallerSpeedbarIncrements mod. You can leave the SmallerSpeedbarIncrements folder in your MODS folder, but since it comes first alphabetically, it will take precedence over this mod. So to try out this new mod, you can temporarily rename the original "SmallerSpeedbarIncrements" folder to something like "zzzSmallerSpeedbarIncrements".
Give it a try and let me know what you think.
