Speed graphs for Spitfire and Hurricane

The WEP have limits, we didn't testing with the new engine, but we notice, the cooling leak causes engine failure. It should testing the other systems before I say anything.

We notice a huge difference the old and the new FM. Have to learn to fly with all planes.The stall characterics changed drastically (the 109's too). Far worse agile, and far less stability on slow speed (and i like it. I just flew gliders, but the high AoA flight, the stall, spin and the wing flaps looks more real now). The spin is stronger, and hard to recover. No more tight turn with open flap (you dorp your speed quickly, and fall like a rock - particularly the Spit/Hurri's Split-Flap).

Actually to my understanding the flaps of the Spits and Hurris were only used for landing. Unsurprisingly because they really destroy any speed quickly. They are rather airbrakes than high lift devices considering their angle at which they are exposed to the air stream. For the seafire they used a trick to lock shortly and only once per flight the flaps to a halfway position for takeoff.
