Re: A380 Air Speed
If the value is programmed to show indicated airspeed it's all you'll get.
You shouldn't use TAS as a primary flight indication anyway.

You can also try to edit the .mdl file with ModelConverterX. It has a function to move and rotate entire objects. But be aware that there's a bug that may or may not make the click spots on 3D elements unusable after that.
