Still there are some FM's and performance errors in last RC beta:

- British fighters are too slow ab. 20-30 mph at sea level

- 109 is too slow ab. 25-30 kph

- Spitfire MK II now is slowier then Spitfire MK1 100 Octan at sea level

- Spitfire MK 1 100 Octan has engine bug - from ab. 8700 ft RPMs start shaking with no reason - other version seemed to be ok

- still all planes have too much loose engine power from ab. 15 000 ft and have much too low maximum service celling

Kwaitek, I think it's not as bad as that. I managed 280mph, possibly about 283mph at sea level with the radiator to 'normal' and 40% fuel with 3000rpm. I ran for over 5 mins like this, temps held @ 102C water and 92C oil

I could also get the Hurricane to 27kft where max boost was -3lbs but I didn't get any speed tests because of server stoppage. Climb rate was definitely greatly improved.

Very happy with this patch, I think the Hurricane can fight like this.


Gromic got the Spitfire to 305mph sea level @ 35% rad and 2600rpm.


I've had the engine shake and so has Gromic in Spit and Hurricane, around 10k ft, but the second attempt in the Hurricane had no trouble at all. Gromic said the Spit would only stop shaking when 2lbs or less was applied. It's not a mix lever thing, we tried that.
