More control over the IAS vs CAS difference would be nice

Currently we can only set a scalar and an offset on an airspeed indicator in the cockpit.cfg but in reality the indicated airspeed vs calibrated airspeed difference can depend on a lot of factor, like AOA or Bank angle, flaps settings, ect.

It would be nice if we could define some more parameters for this, like flaps position, aoa, bank so we can match the airspeed indicator error for the real instrument and model the position error better.

It would be nice if we could just set the IAS and TAS (add baro and VSI to that aswell) avars and not affect the actual plane.

With the WT avionics being locked, we could finally do failures, blockages, abnormals and slips correctly. As well as have the autopilot correctly behave with these errors.

In the context of larger aircraft, those are primarily static source errors due to local airflow over the skin at the static port locations and also affects the other measurements depending on static pressure e.g. altitude. The ADR usually has static source correction tables and only the corrected static pressure is used for computation of altitude and speed.
