Spitfire RPM's

Actually you'll get pretty much full rpm if you climb to operational altitude (ie about 16000-18000 feet).

The Spitfire was not designed to fight at sea level.

Viper, do you have any tested data we can see to verify the rpm v alt curve? This data would add support to any CoD FMs accuracy claims, be good to see it's close to the mark. I've not worked with 'fixed pitch' props in TW FMs, so not much data or first hand experience with simulated fixed props here.
