Does the best glide ring extend out more based on speed or is it based on just altitude?

In aircraft file in FF I see two scalars, Vbg & L/D ratio (e.g. 90kts & 1:10), I don't think we have whole polar/power curve or it accounts for minimal height gains while you slow down to Vbg, so I doubt there is any adjustment to your glide performance from ASI changes, but the ring does change against terrain height and against wind but assumes you fly at Vbg
