Noticed with Meteors (both TW and user-made) that trying to intercept Tu-16s at 20,000 feet is like a fat man chasing a trolley. Top speed of any Meatbox at that altitude is about 350 kts when it should be nearly 200 kts more! Can this be fixed in data.inis?

Sooo, KIAS or KTAS?  The number down in the lower left is KIAS.  If you turn on the debug, you can see KTAS, which at high altitudes has a significant delta from KIAS.

Well, 499 knots is 574.3 mph, so that's pretty close.  The line in the data.ini dictating maximum speed in the Meteor F8 shows:  MachLimit=0.811.  You could bump it up a little bit, which should change your max speed.  Usually, the player aircraft winds up a few hundredths of a Mach lower than that number, and that number establishes a hard limit, regardless of other aerodynamic/engine values.
