The game TDC reproduces the ownship course, but not the ownship speed because to do so would only duplicate the knot meter on the HUD. The TDC ownship course is used to display the torpedo gyro angle, so it is useful. The ownship speed dial would not add any usefulness to the game TDC.

Therefore the OP is mistaken, both in his actual claims, and also assuming he was misspoken in his claim for an "ownship position" display and really meant "ownship course" and "ownship speed" he is wrong there too because both are present and used with the game TDC.

Makes perfect sense....
