ta. did you look at the 1a? (the 87 octane version)
Oh, I see now that someone else has added the 1a to this thread.

So... the 100octane planes are slower and the Hurricane is faster than the Spitfire. I actually couldnt get 50 percent radiator on the 100 octanes as they blew before I got an accurate measurement.

Can I ask what is it they did do right in this 'simulation'?

Ffs...

Morning! Bit more 'compus mentus' here too!

Thanks for posting this Trademe, It's something I hadn't really noticed as being such a marked difference. Something is definately out of whack here by the looks of things, so thanks for posting the thread up.

Agreed, seems every time I fly on ATAG I eek out a bit more performance out of the red planes thanks to the input on here, will try the Spit 1 later
Salute to all
