hi all
check this
i started with a friend at same runway,same time and same plane.i cant follow he is running away 6k in less than 2 min.
we flew in formation 300 mph turned vertical.he run away!
i tried it with several player but just got same result:mad:fighters on my sys dont have full performance anyone got an idea

got a incomming ping about 125 ms from germany:cool: so what the hell is wrong:confused:

please help me out here

First guess would be to recalibrate joystick & make sure your getting full throttle swing out of it.

Next make sure your both carrying the same fuel, guns, ord loadouts. They can make a huge difference.

Then if you still see a problem we'll see if we can figure out what it is.

hi ghost we flew the same planes under same conditions (fuel ammo guns:cool: )
throttle has the full calibration range and i did a full reinstall of my sys:aok
but the plane performance:mad: doesnt match with outher planes
i still need more turn rate and speed
lets figure out that prob.

thanks Voll-Freundlich

Would the stall limiter have any performance impact? Is he using WEP during the climb? ROC the same?

Are there any other factors? For example, many times in the past I would up with a wing in identical fighters. I have a bad habit of rolling left and right to look below me at all times. Just by doing that I can cause up to 3k separation between us.

voll, do the same test, only make sure that you use auto level.

Hity the X key and dont move the stick. You will fly straight and level. This will get rid of any tendency you have to move a flight control. IE every time you move a control (rudder, aileron, elevator) it comes at a cost to you in Energy loss. Is it possible that you are kind of twitching through the air, thereby losing a little energy?

Ghosth is bang on with the calibration recommendation. If you are getting any spikes at all you will have a corresponding movement in the associated control surface which = E loss.

Also, pay particular attention to what your manifold pressure, and RPM are doing. Do you both have the same indications?

Does your airspeed indicator read the same as his? etc.

Hope some of this helps figure out whats going on for you.

Cheers,
