Need real world Spit and Hurri data

Initally I thought this was refering to the fuel load, but from the report I see the fuel load was the same in both cases.

So, what is this 'Service Load'?

Does it have something to do with the ammo load?

Also, I assume this test was for the 87 oct and not the 100 oct?


Any info would be welcome! Thanks in advance!

I would say its the extra ammo?

If you look at this http://www.spitfireperformance.com/ab197.html you can see a rough breakdown of weight...I know its not the model your looking at but judging by that i would say the 'service weight' of ammo would make up the 'flying' weight in total

Hey guys

Did a quick Hurrir MkI ROC test

NOTE this was a quicky! Don't draw any conclusions from this! In that I am not 100% sure I had all the settings (boost, mixture, etc) set right.. That and I have not converted the data to standard atmospheric conditions yet.

PS note the Z AGL and ZMSL values are internal game values, that is to say they are not the values that drive the gauges (indicated). Also note that I convert the indicated altitude to pressure and than density altitude. Still need to validate and or prove to myself that the Z temperature can be used in these calculations

In short, don't let these results make you happy or sad!

Just presenting what I have thus far to generate some discussions on the topic and get feedback

I see what your saying.. seems right to me! Just thought I would put it out there as one of those unknows (to me) in the hopes some hurrie and/or britt lingo experts can fill in the blanks here
