Just seen this thread. But people here are talking about inside the cockpit which yeah I get especially in VR. But does anyone else notice that the canopies look too opaque with external views? Spitfire Mustang and Hornet spring to mind more than any others. If flying with cloud it’s very apparent in VR and in my opinion really spoils the external views

Set Marianas ground textures to low. I notice little difference in terms of visual standards in VR but see huge performance gain. This however changes depending on maps so I use different graphics profiles for the maps I use which is a bit of a pain but that’s how it is.

Well so far it’s not been acknowledged yet as an issue or discrepancy by Magnitude. Im not expecting anything to soon.

As far as you are concerned do you feel this subject is closed Magnitude? i.e level flight speed and engine settings are where they should be?

Ah ok I do apologise I’m so used to people being hostile on these forums recently yes, I also saw that the drag on pylons had been changed and I haven’t tried the update yet will be interesting to see if there’s a change.

Excuse me?

Has the airspeed changed at all?

This is a great mod Jafa well done!

Downloaded the Betty bomber mod and it’s invincible and Yes the performance of the AI zero on this mod is insane

Marianas 20degrees temperature. 1013.25 hPa, Clean aircraft, flaps fully up, Oil cooler closed, Intercooler fully closed. 0 wind speed Cowl flaps fully closed. 10,000 ft 2700rpm MP45 (reading), Supercharger 1st stage.(Neutral Setting!) MP 60, Supercharger 2nd stage (Low setting!) MP 60 Supercharger 3rd stage (High setting!) Landing gear extended 210 kts. (after using True airspeed conversion- 268 kts) Landing gear retracted 270 kts.(after using True airspeed conversion- 328 kts = 377mph) (270 kts IAS achieved with all supercharger settings) In the same conditions at 20,000 ft I achieved 240kts IAS. Using the same conversion calculator that works out at 357 kts = 410 mph I'm happy to admit when I'm wrong and maybe this is correct? I'm pretty sure this conversion is correct, It then comes down to the same old question is the AI over performing? I don't fly in MP but how are people finding the corsair performs against human pilots? Having said that I'm having success against the FW190 A8 at all skill levels. I do feel the 109AI would run rings around me though. Will be interesting to see how the A6M performs when it comes.

First thing I wrote was Marianas 20 degrees temp. It’s IAS I’m giving you the reading from my gauges. My figures directly correlate with Arch-Vile. There’s 3 supercharger settings on the Corsair the initial which I’ve implied as stage 1 (set as default) then 2 then 3 I would say it’s fairly self explanatory. Are you achieving over 300kts IAS? MP is as I am reading from the gauge, 45 Supercharger neutral, then probably 59 if you go by the manual but looks more like 60 on the gauge achieved with Supercharger set to low and high. sorry this probably sounds a bit harsh but yes this evening I shall check the barometric pressure and input that into a conversion chart but I guarantee it will not work out correct for the published top speed of the Corsair. Whilst some are saying it’s correct I have a feeling it will just be left as it is. has anyone tried flying with gear down and seen if it has an effect?

Marianas 20degrees. Clean aircraft, flaps fully up, Oil cooler closed, Intercooler fully closed. 8 kt tail wind Cowl flaps fully closed. 10,000 ft 2700rpm MP45 (reading), Supercharger 1st stage. MP 60, Supercharger 2nd stage MP 60 Supercharger 3rd stage Airspeed stays around 270kts Climb to 10,500 ft. Dive to 300kts then level. Aircraft maintains 280 kts for a few minutes then settles back to 270kts. Supercharger set to 2nd stage. Flown now for 40 mins. No overheating. If you are able to achieve 300kts or over in this scenario please post your RPM and MP readings. As this is somewhere where I believe people may be experiencing variations.

I was pretty specific in my post see previous page back. That was IAS BTW 270 kts taking into account altitude true airspeed etc is still not right.

I'm having the same findings. Although I agree its cheating the RPM trick is giving it better combat performance so I am using it as the figures seem closer to published in terms of speeds. Just flown for over 40 mins maximum throttle as described couple of posts back, after 15 mins green light come on saying I have 3 mins of water left. 10 mins later i'm still flying 270 kts maximum throttle & RPM light still on. So I try the RPM trick to see if the water will exhaust. But after a further 25 mins the engine finally overheated. Green light was still on. On this basis I agree with Felixx the RPM bug does not appear to be adding water injection. Look overall I'm enjoying the module and think there's a lot about it that's been really well done. I just hope that they acknowledge these findings and work on them.
