This is why some 1946 servers banned the 190D9, because it was possible to fly it and a few other aircraft through the sound barrier, since compressibility was not modeled.
I am currently away from my desktop pc but when I get back I will help test this.
Holtzauge, it would also be helpful to be able to see the source code for this c++ solver so we can audit it. Otherwise, and no offense intended, from our perspective we have only the word of a random forum poster that the simulation is accurate. Ihope that makes sense.

That is correct. I am only raising the issue because I know it was missing from IL2 and I was curious how it was modelled in CloD.
As to posting my C++ source code I will be a bit stingy and keep that to myself. I'm actually working on a book project so I need it for my own selfish purposes. I do understand your scepticism though. I would not buy a pig in a poke either. I guess that means you need to apply a healthy dose of scepticism to my posts
Would be nice if you could post some results though. If you have an idea about an alternative dive scenario, either Me109E or Spit Mk1 just let me know and I could model that as well. What I need is boost, weight, dive angle, initial altitude and TAS speed. Based on this I could generate another chart like the one I posted.
