I rather think that the ardent defenders of dodgy DMs sometimes forget what 'simulator' means. The only true way to determine whether or not a Dr.1 could fly in the state Tamper describes it is to get up there and try it in a real aircraft. Any takers? I think not.

Lothar von Richthofen made the experience, that even a partly missing airfoil

on the top wing made the craft difficult to fly.

So I guess you won't find any volunteers.

Definitely not me - Mmuahahahahaaa!!!

I'm far from a knowledgeable person in this matter but I suspect if one wants to get the DM as accurate as possible, one could take an accurate scale model and run tests in a wind tunnel (probably at considerable cost), and get as close as possible to flying the real thing. In this day and age with the technology we have at hand and currently used in aircraft design I don't think it is unreasonable to assume these kinds of tests could produce fairly accurate results. It would be nice to find out.

 

Problem is "do sim developers have the money to run such tests?". I suspect not.

Mind you, the discussion, IIRC included some of the aforementioned "The RoF DM includes (more math on more precise variables, etc) and therefore it must be possible"

 

 

Sounds like a case of "Garbage In, Garbage Out"
