4.11 F4U Performance

[IvanK]

Sawyer. What supercharger settings (3) were you using in your 20,000ft test ? and on what map.
a 60KIAS diff is huge.

Super 3 on the 20K test using coral sea map. I used that map for all the tests I did. I also took video of the tests if that helps although it would be simple to set up a scenario.

I do appreciate your "ear" on this and your responses.

(I also pondered the TAS vs IAS but the comparison shows air is air)

Likewise

Sawyer your 20,000Ft figures for 4.11 are way off. in your post 120 You got these numbers:

20,000ft
4.101 – 222kias
4.11 - 160kias
i.e. a diff of 62KIAS

I re tested in both 4.10.1 and 4.11.
F4U1C, 100% Fuel, Rad 2, 100% Power Prop pitch 100%, Supercharger 3 Default, Crimea Midday
I get 220KIAS or 579KMH TAS in 4.10.1
I get 210KIAS or 566KMH TAS in 4.11
A diff of 10KIAS or 12KMH TAS

I gotta give you that one, WEP made a big difference. I was running at 99% throttle in the test I posted (forgot to mention that). I just tested again with WEP (no rad) and got it to 220kias per the speedbar.

I'll get together with my squad and do some more testing and research in the next couple days.

Again, I appreciate your time on this matter.
