The Mossi Has Been FIXED!!!! (or updated, anyways)`
« on: March 11, 2010, 05:08:11 PM »
Kudos to HTC for updating the Mossie.     :aok

So there I was in LW Blue, in my Mossi w the 4/500lb bombs and the %50 fuel cruising along at 8500 ft en-route to finish off an enemy town when I just happened to notice my speed was above the typical 374mph.  I was moving at 386mph!!!  I had been level flight for almost a full sector (25 miles) and I not had any loss in altitude to gain any more E to help increase my speed.  After my attack run, I climbed back up minus the 4/500lb bombs, but still had 300 rounds of 20mm left (similar ratio of 30 cal ammo,too).  Once to 8500ft, once again I leveled off and watched the Mossi climb to 397mph, with 18 minutes of fuel left.

My hunch was correct: HTC updated the Mossi!!!  THANKS!!!

So far, I've topped out at 406 mph at 14,800ft.  This is WITH both my internal 500lb bombs, I lifted with nothing on the wings.  I took off with %75 fuel.  Aircraft weight was appx 19,900lbs once I reached 406mph.  FINALLY!  We Few Mossi pilots will be able to leave behind those pesky fighters!   ;)

Im waiting for the speed charts to be updated.    :)

The Mosquito is not fixed.  Having tested it, and the Spitfire Mk VIII, there is either a global bug causing all aircraft to be faster than they should be or a global bug causing air speed to be reported as higher than it is.

I reached 367mph on WEP at 200ft in the Mosquito, up from 338mph in 2.17.  I reached 362mph at 200ft in the Spitfire Mk VIII before auguring it intentionally.  It also had a top speed at that altitude of 338mph in 2.17.

Fw 190 A-8 with full load does 390 mph WEP on the deck.

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

OK... that is not right.  Time will tell what the bug is.   :frown:

Yeap.  I just did 395mph in a Spitfire 16 at 200ft w WEP on.    :O

Wow. Based on that the F4U-4 and P-51D will probably be exceeding the sound barrier at critical altitude now....

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

well... not quite.  The P51D only does 445+mph at 20k w %50 fuel and WEP (tested in TA from the 20k base).

Try 25k, your right in the P-51D superchargers deadzone for the D at 20k, critical altitudes are 12.5k and 25k....

Can you try the P-51B at 17k too?

Not much to say to this thread but this:  :huh . I would like to think that if HTC were going to update the Mossie, it would come with a graphical update as well.
