Challenge: Win a coffee ...

[TOViper]

Hey folks!

During reading of the document "System 37 VIGGEN" (Ulf Edlund och Hans Kampf, 2009), I came to full stop at page 192.
If you read carefully through the pages 192 to 195, you may find it worth trying this mission with the DCS Viggen:

12km altitude in 74.8 seconds and then come back for a safe landing

My statement today: This is not possible with DCS Viggen.
Ready to destroy my statement?

Edit: You may use 1% internal fuel and activate option "Unlimited fuel" for the mission ...

It might be doable, but not sure if modding the module would be allowed. Very unlikely to be doable without some form of help 



Climb with full AB at M0.9, including acceleration from M0.55.
X - time in minutes
Y - Altitude in km

My try with 25% fuel at ISA: 95 seconds (2nd)
My try with 21% fuel at ISA: 91 seconds (4th)

It shouldn't be possible, isn't that the point? The record attempt described in the book starts out with the assumption that the aircraft could be lightened by 1000 kg by removing the radar, various avionics, the hydraulics for folding the tailfin, the thrust reverser etc and then also increase the engine power by 10%. So if you manage to achieve it in DCS the simulation is overperforming significantly.

That is why I wrote to use 1% fuel initially to compensate for the loss of weight.

If someone finds a config which gives results below 74s without modifying the module, than he/she would win a coffee.
For this thread I had nothing more in mind than just fly and test for fun ... no big discussions... *LOL*

Sounds fun

Still no one faster than 91 seconds?
