Lentäjän Näkökulma 2 by Jukka Raunio has about 6 pages of test pilots descriptions of Fokker behavior. It says that in 90 dec. dive, speed didn't increase over 480-485km/h (IAS no doubt). So what we have in game is faster than this, but the finnish test were done with ski plane so skis might slow down the plane more in dive.
Level speeds at sea level & hi-alt are pretty accurate in game too. We spent quite lot of time fine tuning them because fixed prop FMs are tricky to do.

Well, i certainly cant reach 673 km/h, full fuel tank or not, no matter what throttle/mixture, in a 90 dec. dive (assuming TAS is indicated with the red digit speed bar in the low left corner..)
