Concerning the speed of the iLCoD-BF109E I see no need for any change.

Regards Varrattu

And what about the speed of the Fiat G.50? I believe it's the single largest FM issue in this game. Pretty much useless.

S!

Varrattu, why no change? The FMs on many if not all planes are screwed up or way off from being correct or even close to RL data. I do not fear online the Sissyfire Mk.I or Ia but the damned Rotol Hurricane that can CATCH a Bf109E when IRL could not etc. Good thing is that Luthier said in one of updates things are being worked one, so let's hope the FMs will be corrected to all planes needing it.

This is the second time this week I have had to do this, sigh

From the Q&A of 23rd of December:

8. Will the performances of the poor G.50 be upgraded to be closer to the real historical values? The G.50 maximum speed today is ~350 kmh at sea level against 407 kmh found in books and online references. The G.50 ceiling in game is some 5000 m, against 10500 m found in various sources.

It's funny, that was one of my questions to B6. And Ilya's answer did not reassure me at all, given their poor record with Italian planes performances.

In reality my post was aimed at digging some historical test data from the passionate people here.

Cheers,
