Definitely agree on principle, but there are confounding variables at play here too; DK290 being a B model should indeed show no real difference between exhaust configurations when compared to those same differences on an FB.VI, but given that the real world manual for the FB.VI also states that there may be considerable variation in performance between airframes depending on age and condition, this is unlikely to be enough for ED to reconsider their figures. The big problem is the one you've correctly identified; no direct comparison with an FB.VI running +18Lbs. Another (possibly) interesting point is that the supercharger speed changes correctly, but at a significantly higher altitude than suggested in the pilots notes. I do wonder to what extent these issues are as a result of DCS' atmospheric density modelling as opposed to issues internal to the aircraft.
