Three basic enquiries

[brando]

1: Is it possible to have on-screen speed and altitude displayed in mph and feet?

There is a command to toggle the Speed Bar - look at the Controls window in the Start-up screen.

2: Is it possible to suppress the on-screen conversation: it is quite intrusive.

Go to the conf file in the main game folder on your hard-drive. In the following section:

3. I had always assumed when I came across a figure for max speed in my readings that this referred to the speed attainable in level flight. I seem to recall that Sea Fury was something like 475 mph. Yet I never seem to get any where near these values, so I suppose such figures refer rather to max speed in a dive. Can anyone confirm, please?

These figures usually relate to level flight - but you should check at what altitude they are obtained.
