3) a specific question to plane modders: what is your reference when checking speed of new modded planes, to verify if they are plausible? Do you "believe" in WW TAS view or in TAS converted from IAS (and, in this case, using which formula)?

This is the last and probably the most important part of CloCloZ original post. He wants to know which formula to use. I responded by showing CloCloZ that one specific formula would not be the correct answer. The discussion of air speeds is lengthy and sometimes very complicated. To introduce anything more than a few very over simplified "rules of thumbs" would make a sim unplayable. The concepts of the four forces which affect every aircraft can seem complicated to some people and simple to others. Duh! That's true of most things in life. There are people out here who read these posts/questions and try to help. Then there are some posters who try to hide their ignorance by attempting to belittle the ones who try to help. Duh! Again just like in real life. There's and old saying "Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way!" Some posters would do well to get out of the way of those who are trying to help those who are trying to learn!

Feeding misinformation to people is not teaching.
