I want to find out these speeds for all the aircraft (not interested in airliners). It’s proving to be quite a job searching the internet for this. Is there a place with it already compiled?
VR Rotation speed (take off)
VX Best climb angle speed
VY Best climb rate speed
VS Stall speed
VSL Stall speed in landing configuration (flaps extended)
VEC En-route climb speed
VC Cruise speed
VBG Best glide speed (flaps up)
VNE Never exceed speed
VFE Max flap extended speed (10° flaps)
VA Manoeuvring speed
VLE Max Landing Gear Extended speed

Aircraft in the sim with Garmin avionics generally have rotation, climb, and glide speeds programmed in — they just need to be enabled by the user at the beginning of each flight.
Here’s a wishlist post to make that more realistic and have them persist flight-to-flight (as they do in reality): Enable speed bugs by default in Garmin avionics
For other speeds, I can’t suggest anything more than googling for each airplane’s operating handbook/manual.

Ah, another note — if you can’t find them anywhere else, gear and flap speeds are often placarded somewhere in the cockpit. And, of course, the white/green/yellow arcs and redline on the airspeed indicator give you Vso, Vs, Vfe, Vno, and Vne.
