OK, but the IAS and CAS should be reasonably close to each other. I
think the difference is simply too big, and it also increases with
altitude like that between TAS and IAS should. I don't think 260 KIAS
can lead to 320 KCAS at 12000ft, which I just got when flying the
747-yasim.

Not sure what it's called, it's the instrument present on many FGFS
aircraft that shows a compass rose, a VOR/LOC and glideslope as well
as an RDF.
