It appears that compared to real life procedures for the 109, the 109 is totally off the mark, the 190 being more reasonable. We get a glide ratio of ~1/3 for the 109 and ~1/5 for the 190.

Tests of Glide ratio (clean) of the BF109G2 are well within published criteria.
- Stable flight, 260-270kph (best L/D speed), radiator closed, engine "Off" gives 1minute 42sec to lose 1000m (same conditions as in previous test)
- This gives the Bf109G2 FM a glide ratio of 12.78:1 (as published on the net)
- Test of the Fw190A4 with 4.11 FM (same L/D speed quoted) and same conditions gives 1minute 56sec to lose 1000m.
- This gives the Fw190A4 new FM a glide ratio of 16.52:1.......Is that correct?
