Doesn't surprise me it's fixed, it's usually painted on the gauge itself with an analog six pack on a twin, isn't it?
Plus, do you really want to be climbing high enough for that to matter with one engine out?

Yeah on analog gauges it's fixed, but Starship is modern technology, the manual suggest it should be dynamic based on altitude.
Even if I wouldn't be climbing high enough for it to make a difference as you say, for one, it's at the wrong position, iit ought to be around 130, and secondly if I'm taking off from an airport that's 12,000ft in elevation it should be at 124kts instead of 130, which would probably make a big difference in being able to climb.

@Sunake did you notice the document posted above? It's not single engine climb, but minimum control speed and It's at the correct position.

Yeah I saw. The minimum control speed is 94 knots right? That would be the red rectangle, I am talking about the blue rectangle half way between 100kts and 120kts

I must have lost this many versions ago, but it's easy enough that I just reprogrammed it instead of looking for how it used to work. All set for v1.2. Thanks for pointing it out. It's so easy to miss the most obvious things when you spend all day looking for the minutia.

Just so we're all on the same page, and I'm sure @Black-Square Nick knows this, but the blue line displayed on the ASI DOES in fact move down as the airplane climbs and vis versa. It's not a fixed line.
If you watch this video, you can literally watch it move as the airplane descends.
