Nevertheless it vary with the waight and without V-Speed the tool is not a performance tool atall, V1 is improtend for the point of no return, VR is importend if when is the possebility for rotation and V2 is importand for climb and all this is part of the Aircraft performance. So right now ToPs is only an Flaps and Flex Temp tool, nothing else and not real to use for serious flightsimulators.

I agree having optimum flex temp/flap setting is the ballpark of my expectation for a performance tool, as indeed most of the time v-speed can be calculated in fmc. However there're situations that FMC speeds are not correct, notably for an intersection take-off, runways with clear way or obstacle limited take-off, since fmc calculation always assumes balanced field. Thus to make full use of TOPS' intersection optimisation, an accompanying v-speed calculation is needed.
Moreover, Airbus MCDU doesn't calculate v-speeds in real life.
