Nice idea.
Avoid player.ship.speed if you want to see injector and torus speeds.
Add these into the script.js which use velocity to get the speed:

[snip]

Speed value is rounded to 10 to reduce flickering and a small inaccuracy in max. speed.
Will refresh the value 4 times in a second. More is not better just need a bit more CPU and timers can not be set to run more often.
The last "if" avoid an error in the log if somebody still use Oolite 1.80 due to setCustomHUDDial is introduced in 1.81 and this is not a very improtant function which worth to increase the reuired Oolite version of the whole HUD.

This code is not enough if you use [wiki]TorusToSun[/wiki], in this case you should use the combatSpeed calculated by CombatMFD which support [wiki]FarPlanets[/wiki] and probably any future OXPs also which use position changes to manipulate the speed.

This is a bit more tricky due to you must locate the altitude from the nearest mass around you, like this:

[snip]

Why are you interested below 100m only? I think 1000m would be better due to [wiki]PlanetFall[/wiki] detect landing at 500m.

This is not supported by the core, so you should place a big real clock next to your display.

Due to the author is not logged in since jan I uploaded an update (v1.1):

* Removed degree sign from cabin temp, thanks to Smivs.
* Added numeric ship speed display and a numeric altitude meter below 1000m.
* Gauges are hidden in dock to allow big gui.
* Clock moved a bit to fit into Xenon UI.

One thing I asked for on this ages ago - it would be nice to have the "joystick sensitivity on/off" indicator enabled. The trouble is that I think it normally goes exactly where you've got the speedo number displayed.

I downloaded it yesterday, but it seems there's another °K in the weapon temperature gauge.
Also, I see two Coluber HUD CH01 in the Expansion Manager.
