ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
The speeds displayed in the G1000 in career mode are not congruent.
In the examples below, I demonstrate how the combination of headwind/tailwind component with the TAS is producing an incorrect groundspeed.
I assume that perhaps the wind is being tabulated from real weather, but not actually affecting the aircraft in the career mode. The perfectly circular visual paths on the sightseeing/first flight missions support that theory - to do that in the real world, we’d have to either constantly change our bank angle (as we do in turns around a point), or change our airspeed. Either method manipulates our groundspeed to form the intended geometry over the ground. We don’t have to do that in the sim to make a perfect circle - it’s consant bank angle and speed. Thus, I think the G1000 is picking up the “wind” but it’s not actually doing anything.
However, in free flight it is fairly accurate.
If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:
Any G1000-equipped aircraft

GS should be ~107, shows 111
GS should be ~68, shows 75
GS should be ~72, shows 79 (note, this is the CPL check ride - prompting a landing at KBUR with a(n albeit mild) tailwind!
GS should be ~62, shows 68
GS should be ~61, shows 66
Here, it is fairly correct, in free flight, shows 120, should be 117/118 or so:
Opposite direction, also in free flight. Shows 84, should be 82 or so:
The errors are much larger in amplitude in career mode and they are fairly consistent.
