Can somebody verify the performance in UP? or another pack? Wrong forum really, just frustrating.

Well a lot of mods start off with someone who 'loves' the plane enough to create the 3D model of it..
You can find a lot of 'artiest' that love planes and know how to use 3DMAX to create a new plane, or tweak and existing one
But it is not as easy to find someone like that who also knows about flight modeling.. Which means most mods end up using a flight model from another plane with maybe a few tweaks too it.
Which is NOT a ding on mod makers!
Even the folks who should know (1C, Oleg) can make mistakes
Take the Bf109K4 vs. Spitfire 25lb in IL-2
Ask your average IL-2 fan which plane is 'uber' and you will probably find that most say the Spit 25lb is the uber plane..
Yet the Spit 25lb ROC performance is less than it should be at most alts, and only over by 11% or so at other alts..
Where as the Bf109K4's ROC performance is better than it should be at all alts, up to 25% more than it should be at some alts..
Which is a good example of why 'relative performance' concept can be such a joke at times..
For example, Pick an altitude, and you can find that one plane's ROC is 20% better than it should be, while another plane's ROC is 10% less than it should be and you end up with a 'relative performance' difference of 30%! That is a lot for the pilot to make up in skill!
So, if 1C (Oleg) can not even get it right at times, I am not surprised that some 3DMAX artiest get it wrong sometimes!
