Game stores the values in IEEE 32-bit single (4 bytes)
example,
6D 61 78 5F 73 70 65 65 64 00 00 00 F0 41
6D 61 78 5F 73 70 65 65 64 -> string for max_speed
00 -> separator
00 00 F0 41 -> 30.0 knots (in IEEE 32-bit single)

what converter are you using? so far ive tried AXE and another freeware type and none of them offer IEEE 32bit single conversions. They keep tossing little endian around and i have no clue what im doing.
years ago i had one that had such features, and it converted between intel/mac plus a bunch of other stuff but i just cannot remember the name of the thing. ahh heck that was in the 20th century too.
