Well sorry to disappoint you but your statement is in error

Allow me

Based on Oleg’s past posts it is clear to all that he understands what standard atmospheric conditions (std atm) are, and that performance data collected under ‘other’ conditions (maps) can be converted to std atm.

It is also clear that Oleg said to use the Crimea map for testing.

What is not 100% clear is if Crimea map was std atm conditions at one time in previous versions of IL-2 and was later changed.

The reason I say that is if you go back and look at Oleg’s statements over the years, initially he was somewhat cryptic as to what the atm conditions of the Crimea map were, He referred to it as ‘normal’ and/or ‘ideal’ atm conditions..

But in his later posts he flat out says the Crimea map is std atm conditions, but what with the advent of mods we now know that the current and previous (4.xx) versions of the Crimea map are NOT std atm conditions!

Yet Oleg did say the Crimea map is std atm conditions!

But who knows, maybe it was at the time he made that statement?

In either case I give Oleg the benefit of the doubt, that one, he was savvy enough to take into account the performance differences due to the non std atm conditions of the Crimea map when comparing the results to real world data, or two, that he was savvy enough to convert the real world data to Crimea atm conditions when comparing the results to real world data.

So in light of all that confusion and what we know now due to mods I decided to use the mod ‘Flight Test Map’ which we know is std atm for testing!

In that Oleg himself said that test results are only valid if they are done under the same conditions as the data you are comparing to.

Hope that helps!
