---------TOP SPEED -------> [Speed Records Leaderboard]

[Nealius]

So 20* nose down is ok as long as you don't crash? Here I was going into a steep dive and completely leveling out at 500' AGL :p

[Hotarubi]

What will you do if two guys hit the same record with the same plane and noone bests them?

I propose that it is taken the better one, in that case, is the one who spent less time to achieve the speed. You can see it on the demanded track, or people can turn on their counter in-game.

In this case, the one who posted the record first, keeps it.

For category 4: Flown ramp-to-ramp, 18* nose down, recovered at 550' AGL, 876 km/h TAS. (Cockpit instruments still in knots/feet even after setting "Imperial")

 

Track File (too big for forums)

 

I was able to go faster (511 KTAS ~946.37 km/h), but it was at 44* nose down so I don't think it qualifies.

[Nealius]

Correct, 876km/h with 18* nose down.

 

You say that if I am able to recover I qualify. Does that include if I were in a steep dive, or should it be in more or less horizontal flight?

As long as players can load your saved replay and see that you 1: started from a runway, and 2: recovered after the record you tried to claim, you should be good. I think it's fair.

[Nealius]

Ok, cool. I'll go back and see if I can break my record.

[justoc]

So, I was gaining altitude to set my record when my right engine died.

 

I decided **** it, THIS IS FOR THE MOTHERLAND, and proceeded to set my record.

 

 

412km/h. Not bad for one engine.

 

coming in for the landing

Anyway, the track seems to be bugged, I land at the end, but it shows me gently(not really) landing in the grass next to the strip. Don't know if it was just me or what.

So here's mine for cat. 1

 

At that point it started crying: "Maximum speed, maximum speed" but i know it's not max=)))

[il_corleone]

Cat 6

 

331 KM/H Sea level (11M)

 

 

 

 

Track

[Erforce]

Oh, finally rules don't need to be in a horizontal flight?

 

easy stuff then. And that's not my personal record.

Moreover, i didn't cheated this time, but without drastic rules, anyone can easily cheat in a track. (like being stealth immortal...)

 

So, my 2 cents :

636km/h @ about 2600m ASL

 

if you want to see realistics speeds, ask to be in a horizontal foward flight.

you'll see more 350km/h sharks. ;)

I would not accept any track without enforce immortal (false) options at least. It's all about rotor intersection.

 

Cheers !

WoAyumi i cheked it, just that I cant get better speed, there is room for 3 Right? If i am not the first one why not below? Thanks

[AfkMan]

What about mine record?

I've already posted it, but not in the leaderbord

New one for cat 1., last track was not saved.

 

The plane was in a very low-pitched dive for about -3 deg and i was able to recover. And i did it. And even landed.

What will count more for the FC3 below 1000 meters The Speed or the Altitude. or a combination

 

Example the record now is: MiG-29S, 997m, 2384Km

What if i fly Much lower lets say at 100m with a speed of 1970km/H

OK new try With new speed 1600 and alt 47

Is anyone else up to some record breaking?

[VincentLaw]

Is anyone else up to some record breaking?

Sure, why not.

 

Aircraft: UH-1H, Speed: 505 km/h, Altitude: 3484 m. I figured the NASA paint was appropriate.

 

 

Track attached. Ignore the bad flying.

Congrats! This is the new official absolute record!

I love this thread, will try for the ka50 when I get home.

Where's the category for the Russian Bombers?

[Grigs]

What about meteo settings? I do not see wind speed as a required configuration. It has to change something, doesn't it? :)

My record was set with default mission editor settings, and I would recommend everyone else does the same.

 

Changing the wind speed would let you improve your ground speed but not your air speed. I think F5 view shows 3D ground speed though. Lowering the air pressure and raising air temperature would reduce density, which would reduce drag at low altitude, but higher air temperature will also reduce engine performance. The speed of sound is also roughly a function of temperature, so higher air temperature means wave drag effects are delayed until higher speeds.

I like this thread, but some ground rules need to be set. A 90 degrees vertical dive with full afterburners will probably produce the highest speed, before ejection and/or death ;)
