need track replay Physics of the A10C II slows it down unnecessarily

[Heling]

In videos of the original A10C I can see that they can easily reach speeds of more than 400 knots in horizontal flight. My A10C II never manages that in DCS, regardless of whether it is fully armed or completely empty. Only about 75% of that is possible.

What is wrong with the aircraft physic model? Is the power of the engines too low, or is the air resistance of the machine too high? The latter could be a possibility, since even in a dive the speed does not increase excessively. I have never even come close to reaching the pointer with the maximum speed. I always have the impression that I am flying around with the airbrakes half extended.

Could someone from DCS take a look at this?

Thanks

Questioning the flight models is generally a farcical topic. If you any actual data to support your theory then feel free to provide it. I very much doubt ED gets these things wrong. Suggesting they don’t know something as simple as the airspeed is laughable.

Which videos are you talking about? Can you link them?

Hello

Can you please post the public data showing an issue. Also Include track replays of your testing. 

thank you

I hope OP is not referring to "those" videos where the A10CII is doing airshow displays with clean config, minimum fuel and in a dive - thus reaching a pretty high airspeed.

[BIGNEWY]

yes most likely, and difficult to know the config and weight of the aircraft from a video. 

thank you

Sorry for late answer. See the acceleration in this video 

In the next is a decent from 18.000 to 9.000 ft and the speed at maintain hight. I can't reach this speed: 

Yes it's not so much. When I watch my speed, I feel sometimes swim in a honey pot

No worries.

We are not seeing anything unusual regarding speed for our A-10C. Video evidence is difficult to use as we do not know the weight of the aircraft, wind speed, ambient temperature ect. 

Please feel free to attach track replays from your tests and we will take another look. 

thank you
