Invisibull

Thanks, never used that one before.

Go into F2 view and you'll see exact RPM and speed. I have it mapped for when I do tests like this that need exact values.

The key command is currently acting as the throttle detent's micro-switch. The broken wire graphic suggests this is a temporary implementation. I don't think "some guys" are getting extra knots - either everyone is, or no one is. Would be nice if M3 weighed in and explained what we're all seeing.

Yes, I do see an increase in speed. The issue is that the increase in power should be primarily the result of the expected increase in manifold pressure, which doesn't happen. It stays the same whether I "enable" the ADI system or not. Aside from the MP, all the other values are pretty much dead on. null

Are you referring to "Enable Water Injection"? If so, I have verified the mapping and when I press it, the manifold pressure doesn't change. That's not to say it's not working, just that that keystroke does nothing. From the real flight handbook:

Yes, it might be implemented, but without the wire or need to activate the water injection - it's still def a WIP The button press changes nothing, so it seems to not be implemented yet. As said in another post, the lack of a wire to inhibit travel of the throttle makes it pretty obvious that it's still a WIP.

I get 57" and about 302 kts at sea level at the weight of 12088 lbs. As far as I can tell, there's no water injection implemented yet.

Here's what you should be seeing at sea level with the parameters listed in the doc below - 358 mph / 1.150779 mph/kn ≈ 311.10 knots. Best I could get was about 302 knts. The disparity is even more pronounced at 19,900 as I stated above. Edit: Just noticed that the empty weight for our Corsair is listed as 9903. Maybe that's where the missing 9 knts are going?

You're welcome. Hope it's worth the effort for you. lol

OK, I put it in a notepad file, then back into the forum - it should be as plain text as plain text gets. Again, sorry for the hassle. Check again please.

All we can do is provide the primary sources and hope for the best. Hope springs eternal!

Here's some test results from Aug 1945 with an F4U-1D, which you'll notice, is 10 mph faster, even though it's with a combat loadout, so roughly 1000 lbs heavier than the Birdcage when it was tested. http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.org/f4u/f4u-1d-acp.pdf

Yes, that's right - it's right around 330 mph and I agree that you can't seem to get there unless there's at least a slight dive first. The bigger issue, according to the speed trial documentation, is up at 22.8 K' - I should be seeing 250 kts ias (395 mph tas), but I haven't been able to get over 220 kts. That's a 12% shortfall of performance. This is at 11,197 lbs, trimmed out as close to perfect as I can get it, no wind, in high blower, 2700 RPM, 54" manifold and 20C. It's early yet and I have no doubt this will be remedied in short order.

Hi Max, hopefully it's been sorted.

In my humble opinion, I think removing the fluttering effect on both the wings and the antenna mast altogether and using the whistle effect starting at 300 kts (and only when the oil/intercooler flaps aren't fully closed) instead of 200 kts would really go a long way in increasing the fidelity. I thank you for your consideration - I really do love this module and want to see it be the best it can be. Thanks a bunch, GT. I really do try to support what I say and really do want to see this awesome module be all it can be.
