F1 Not able to pass mach ~1.45 without a dive

[Flying_Osprey]

I've been trying to get the mirage f1 past mach 1.4 in strait and level flight at 40'000ft. I keep running into 2 event either the plane starts to shake and the engine flames out or it just stops accelerating. the only way i've been able to achieve mach 1.6+ is to dive 5000ft+ and then climb back up again.is this supposed to happen or is this just the module being in development?

Hi, which map is this on (and which version)? Would it be possible to test the same in the Caucasus?

No issues getting Mach 2+ at 40,000' Caucus map clean F1CE level Accel started at M0.9

Are your Souris in Auto .... Souris Mach indicator should be following actual Mach

I Just discovered the shock cone automatic switch. the startup procedures i've seen on youtube don't mention it. I don't know if its on chucks guides but i saw anothr starup procedure where they use it so im going to give it a go.

Be aware that the plane is pretty hard to get at very high, you need a lot of initial speed to achieve Mach 2.2

Rutowski climb and accelerations are your friend, level accels are inefficient.
