correct as-is Max speed with heavy load

[Gigafiga]

I was flying at m1.7 with 2 fuel tanks and few aim120, i think it’s far from reality , 1year ago was more accurate

M1.7 sounds pretty good for a full load. Or do you perhaps have some data that shows that would be too slow?

You need to provide evidence if you're making assertions. Viewing a Level Flight Combat Speeds and Altitudes (MIL/MAX AB) chart from a relevant F-16 manual the speed you are achieving with that load is in fact within the realm of reality.

At what altitude did you achieve this?    Here is a video, which of course is not direct proof because we do not know how the load looks, but at least something to talk about

 Load of this f16 is with no fuel tank, you can see 7100 lbs of fuel in the hud.

i was at fl360, best altitude in found in dcs for f16.

I wouldn't consider two bags and a couple of AAs a "heavy" load. More like medium, considering what the Viper is capable of. Also, what was your fuel state? It's not only drag but weight that counts.

Judge pls calm down, i just made a comment and in fact….

You could take your f16, with a drag index of 100, and test it…

i have to say that i was expecting a much lower speed from the charts, thanks to push me to look at that, considering that, the dcs over performance is very acceptable. What a beast.

And remember we will never get real numbers. Never. 

So test it and learn to fly it with what you got. That is how real pilots do it, regardless of numbers. 

It is a big flex to see a good sim pilot, doing magic with what there is. :).
