kontiuka Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 I just downloaded 2.7 stable and of course wanted to do some cloud surfing in the C-101. After flying around for a while, I got the distinct impression that this little plane seemed a little peppier than usual. Fortunately, I had done a quick test in 2.5 a little while ago and had the following results for the C-101CC with default weather, MPR engaged, 25% fuel ... 365 kts at sea level. In 2.7, same parameters, I can now get her up to 388 kts! Still not a speed demon but I'm not going to complain about an extra 23 kts. I didn't do any tests for the EB unfortunately but it seems faster too. If intentional, it's a nice little surprise from AvioDev.
Vibora Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) Maybe you were using a low atmospheric temperature and/or high pressure? That would affect engine performance, and aircraft performance in general. EDIT: I see you wrote you were using default weather. Then I don't know what can be the reason for that difference.

Yet, I'm managing an extra 20 plus kts. Something has changed. Maybe the external forces are less in 2.7.
