I have heard this myth stated many times in the past, but have yet to see anyone post anything that would be considered proof to confirm this myth.

I say myth for several reason, but for two most notably:

1) You would have to belive that 1C was not capable of producing a std atm map or std atm conditions during development testing.
2) You would have to belive that 1C converted all their real world std atm data to Crimea atm conditions before development testing.

The first case is very hard to belive, the second case is doable, but you would have to ask yourself why and belive in the first case. But lets assume case one was true, knowing that real world data is presented in std atm conditions (unless noted otherwise) 1C could easily convert the std atm performance data to Crimea atm conditions for development testing. Assuming that is the case, providing the performance data in std atm, as I did, does not change anything, other than making it easier for all to compare IL2 Compare data to real world data

There are 'other' reason that I can't mention here, but feel free to PM me and I can explain to you in private, Or feel free to belive in the myth and convert the data back to Crimea conditions using the standard conversion equations, all the performance data is provided in text files that you can open up in excel and modify to suit your fancy.
