KIL0 Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 (edited) I am trying to get a plane go very fast... so what needs to be changed in the data file ? Edited May 23, 2006 by KIL0 Quote
KIL0 Posted May 24, 2006 Author Posted May 24, 2006 (edited) Makes sense... it seems that some addon aircraft are slower and some are more manuverable at low speed in sp4... Edited May 24, 2006 by KIL0 Quote
KIL0 Posted May 28, 2006 Author Posted May 28, 2006 what exact "line" limits the aircraft speed at different altitude ? i'd appriciate an answer Quote
Fubar512 Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 what exact "line" limits the aircraft speed at different altitude ? i'd appriciate an answer There may not be any "limits", other than those imposed by real-world data. Most flight models for SF & WoV are based on real world data. We've found that the majority of complaints regarding speed & performance stem from an unfamiliarity with the difference between indicated and true airspeed. In short, the air speed that you read on the game's info display in the lower left side of the screen is indicated airspeed, not true air speed. It's a matter of reduced air density at altitude, which also effects how a given aircraft "feels" at altitude. This aspect of the game is realistic. An aircraft that can sustain 8 g's at 600 knots at or near sea level, cannot achieve that level of performance at 35,000 feet, if it can't hit 600 knots indicated airspeed (which would be close to Mach 2.0 at 35,000 feet).

KIL0 Posted May 29, 2006 Author Posted May 29, 2006 (edited) i didn't mean indicated air speed ... my issiue regards mig-23ML NK(from column5.us), in sp3 it was flying close to ~620kt not even mach 1 ... at sea level but in sp4 it flyes at 529kt ... sea level and it's performance should be : Mach 2.35, 2,500 km/h at altitude; Mach 1.14, 1,350 km/h at sea level (1,553 mph / 840 mph) (i realy like this jet so i am trying to fix it... ) Edited May 29, 2006 by KIL0 Quote

Perform a search here and you'll find the answer... Quote
KIL0 Posted May 29, 2006 Author Posted May 29, 2006 and search what ? speed altitude sp4 ? :) lol Quote
