Hi Gripen,
It's very sad that you seem to be unable to admit that my usage of the "4.5.43" graph was accurate with the simple and clear "yes" I deserve.
>Basicly you are hiding behind an error in the FAF chart. And you knew that error before you posted the graph.
Actually, you had provided no documentation about the error, so it was only a claimed error so far. I'm quite ready to trust you (as I have done several times in this thread), but in that special point, several contradicting figures were floating about, including your own statement from your 06-03-2004 10:24 AM post:
"May I remind you that measured speed of the MT-215 at 10100m CINA was 552km/h which I corrected to about 580km/h at 10000m CINA 2600rpm with altitude correction, rpm correction, output correction and tailwheel. This value is in a very good agreement with other really tested data sets."
Note that you suggested 580 km/h @ 10.1 km, while the "5.4.32" graph I quoted only lists 572 km/h @ 10.3 km.
Besides, along with posting the chart, which only was meant to illustrate that it was possible to calculate a fairly good estimate from a single data point if you have an engine power chart (so my prediction was not affected by the 10.3 km data point anyway), I pointed out in my post from 06-01-2004 07:57 PM:
"Above full throttle height, my graph actually looks more realistic than the FAF test data because the latter features a linear shape where it should realistically be slightly convex, like my calculated shape."
I added in my post from 06-03-2004 07:16 PM:
"The shape of the corrected curve as shown in
http://www.x-plane.org/users/hohun/me109g-2.jpg is unrealistic. A realistic curve would be convex, with the speed decay accelerating at altitude. This qualitative argument leaves it open whether the aircraft is too fast or too slow, so I imagine you might agree on this one."
Obviously, a lower speed at 10.3 km as you suggest helps with that requirement, so your suggestion that I was trying to "manipulate data" completely lacks any justification.
In fact, I was repeatedly pointing out doubts about the realism of exactly that part of the curve you're now trying to bash me for.
I hope you realize now that your accusations are based on nothing but a misunderstanding on your part, and take the necessary consequences. I'd really prefer to continue this discussion on friendly terms with you :-)

Henning (HoHun)
