Why don´t these figures match up?

[Crumpp]

Also it's not an FM issue because even with a completely wrong FM (say if you do the calculation with the "FM" of a juggernaut, you should get the expected values).

So I'm getting the feeling that the speed gauges in CloD are a mess. It seems that they show an incorrect (too slow) speed.
15% too slow for the Spit and 5% too slow for the 109.

Would anybody be surprised?

I have been saying relative performance is correct, LOL.

Yes you have been saying that all along.

Problem is..

For each person 'saying' the relative performance is correct..

There is another person 'saying' the relative performance is in-correct..

Which is why the old saying of 'talk is cheap' rings so true with regards to what you are 'saying'

As I pointed out..

The only thing we know for sure..

Is that no one has provided any proof one way or another..

That is to say

Based on the few tests done by a few people of a few things..

It is just not enough testing to say with any certainty how accurate the flight simulation is with regards to the performance of each plane, let alone the relative performance of any two planes.

Hope that helps! S!

You are right, talk is cheap. So don't talk, act! I did the test I'm not just "saying".

-> Go ahead and and start the FMB, let any given plane fly for 3minutes on autopilot at your prefered speed and check the distance they've traveled afterwards on the map with icons on.

If any of the planes Give you the expected and correct value of distance +\-500m come back and share the results.

Otherwise stfu and let people talk who did some efford to the topic. Looking forward...

I did some further testing yesterday evening. It turned out, that so far the Hurricane Rotol is the worst considering the gauge issue.

(If you set it up in FMB with a speed of 250kmh, it actualy flyes only 206kmh (128mph) by the way...)

Flying 206kmh the Hurry should travel a distance of 10,3 km in 3 minutes. the actual distance flown is 13.3 km instead. That's a 33% too slow speed gauge!

I'm wondering if the stall speeds and such crucial values follow the actual speed or only the speed gauge. So landing speed for example could always be too high because the wrong speed indicator

I will take the NaBlin challenge... I will fly a distance using the balloons mentioned earlier, so that I know I'm flying straight. I'm not sure that my trial and the AI would be any different. But I would like to try the Hur just to see what happens with a highly skilled human pilot at the controls ha ha.
