Inaccurate performance data for BOB fighters in COD comparing to RL data

Osprey,

This is the kind of baloney that adds nothing to the credibility of participants in this thread.

It concretely demonstrates you have no idea how aircraft work.

Standard Day exists everywhere in aviation and is very important. It is the atmospheric conditions that most of the data you see is converted too. Aircraft performance varies greatly based on density altitude, including your engines power development.

And yes, conditions do change but not based on any countries borders. Why do you think the very first thing Air Traffic Control will relay to you as a pilot, is the altimeter setting?

Issue the altimeter setting:

1. To en route aircraft at least one time while operating in your area of jurisdiction. Issue the setting for the nearest reporting station along the aircraft's route of flight:
