This thread has run its course and im a little over the number of reported posts from both sides of the argument.
If Crump wants to provide Game test data or observed and documented characteristics and furnish the developers with the supporting valid realworld data (NACA or other I dont care). He can do it in private directly to Ilya, this thread has had more than enough time and data thrown at it to "prove" his theory if its correct. This thread is just causing more and more heated arguments and personal attacks and has failed to be objective. And yes I have read most of it because Ive had to moderate it continuously.
Personally I dont see the point of wasting this much energy on a single characteristic of a single aircraft at the expense of all other aspects and all other aircraft. In doing so it would unbalance the game and overall flight model of the aircraft in question. I would also have to question whether Crump holds an objective view of this flight characteristic and flight data given the single bloody-mindedness of the argument.
The developers have their criteria and approach to modelling flight characteristics and should not be pushed to change a FM based on one persons argument against the community. While I am impressed by the amount of research and data and the extreme effort to prove the spit was unstable, where was the game testing data to back up that infact the FM is incorrect? Nada, zero, zilch... so I have to conclude this is just a massive one-man-band trolling of the community.
"bloody-minded - stubbornly obstructive and unwilling to cooperate"
Sound like some people we know? I dont mean just Crump either.
Sorry If im a little blunt and short on patience but Ive put up with the fallout from this thread for almost a month now and I think thats a pretty fair run given how badly it deteriorated on more than one occassion!
I hope you see Ive tried to be fair but its now passed that point and Ive given Crump advice on how to continue his effort if he chooses.
We have more than 30 reported posts from this thread. I think that says enough.
