Why not? I haven't really researched the P-47 we have in game, but the BF-109k is over 30 knots faster then F4U 1-D. And that's just top speed. Produce some acceleration charts and we can analyze those as well.

Come on guys, are you trying to get the guy banned? You know posting official data is no longer allowed on the forums. And the F-14s are overperforming at high mach and altitude. BY A LOT. Anyone who has really flown this beauty since the last FM update knows it. Screenshots, tacviews, videos, it's all been done. You want a few more?

The same is true for the F-14A as well. Above mach 1.4 it accelerates like crazy. Long standing bug, but I guess not considered important enough to fix, just like the manual override for wing sweep.

As a demographic group we've fallen low from what we used to be. I mean, many don't understand the differences between indicated, calibrated and true airspeed, even less so ground speed. How can we expect them to understand engine variants and management. The tragic thing is, the confidence that ignorance manifests itself with.

My 20000ft test run from this afternoon. 75% internal fuel (11700lbs gross). 2550 RPM, water injection on, fuel mix lever all the way back, blower to high, manifold pressure 57. Managed almost 350 knots true speed and about 260 indicated before the water light went on. That's 646km/h. Pretty close to the cheat card numbers. Only 5 knots or 10km/h short. Might need to play a bit with it some more.

Eh, I never treat them as instructors. But then again, I am usually self taught, and like to learn by doing as much as possible

Aye, had some miles to drop on it as well!

Ah, good to know, THANKS! I guess that's next on the shopping list

Thanks mate, great stuff!

While trying to run the instant actions on this maps I get the errors WWII Armour and Technics module missing error. Usually, if a module is missing, the missions aren't there at all to begin with. Is there an official module or a non-official mod that I am missing? Thanks in advance. Screenshot below!

Had this baby since launch, but only last night did I get enough free time to map the controls and take her for a spin. Without reading any manuals, just by feel and playing with mixture, throttle and propeller governor, managed 320 knots on the deck, without water injection. This was the default free flight instant action on the Caucasus map. I am yet to try 50% fuel clean runs at 100ft, 10000ft and 20000ft and to take a good look at the cheat sheets for engine management. I get the feeling many people just aren't used to these levels of manual engine management yet. Spent the rest of the night fine tuning the controls and dogfighting "Zeros" ..... with ONLY the CENTER guns! Because I (repeat I) was too dumb to select the inboard and outboard .50 cals!!!! Anyone knows any good recommended climb and acceleration profiles for this baby? She flies like a charm, even without curves (maybe a bit of curves for the rudders, as my feet are clumsy as all hell)! As long as you stay fast that is. You take her too slow, and she will flip a wing on you in no time! null Man, don't let the pencil/button pushers tell you anything! The Grim Rippers are great, and probably one of the few last remaining DCS channels on YouTube that are actually FUN to watch. They don't take themselves seriously, and neither should you. It's all in good fun!

More importantly, is it an African or European!? But of course, the African ones are non migratory!!!

Looking forward to them! Needless to say, alongside the VF-1, VF-213 and VF-143, all of which are already present in one form or another, the AIM/ACEVAL jets are by far my favorite F-14A paint schemes. These birds had the TCS (or an early form of it) as well, so that should be one thing less to worry about regarding externals.

@IronMike@Silhou Routine bump!

Because I like repeating myself..... anyone else a fan of these babies?
