[bkthunder]

Since the previous post (https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=252003) was locked and there were no patch notes or answers regarding tweaks to the acceleration issues, I re-tested and here are the results:

 

(TL : DR = Sea-level acceleration is basically fixed, the rest is improved but still much slower than IRL).

 

Test conditions:

Standard day, GW 20000 lb, no stores.

 

Drag index: 0 (no pylons)

 

MIL POWER ACCELERATION

 

Sea level, acceleration at MIL power, from 200 KIAS to 550 KIAS

 

Real life: 29 seconds

DCS: 30 seconds

:thumbup:

 

 

10.000 feet, acceleration at MIL power, from 200 KIAS to 550 KIAS

 

Real life: 48 seconds

DCS: 1 minute 02 seconds

 

 

MAX AB ACCELERATION

 

Sea level, acceleration at MAX AB power, from 200 KIAS to 750 KIAS

 

Real life: 25 seconds

DCS: 25 seconds

:thumbup:

 

10.000 feet, acceleration at MAX AB power, from 200 KIAS to 750 KIAS

 

Real life: 34 seconds

DCS: 39 seconds

 

 

 

All tests were performed starting from a speed lower than 200 Kts to allow time for the engine to spool up, I started timing when the speed passed 200 Kts and stopped once it reached the 500, 550 or 750 markpoint according to each test.
