Hello ,
I would like yo go into the topic of speeds on our aircraft in aces high 2. First of all we have an indicated and a true speed. I personally think hitech should make this wonderful game more realistic by making only 1 speed which is the (TRUE SPEED). It 's ridiculous im doing 350 when i should be doing 400 to 450 on many planes such as the temp and pony and jug. Now i have done some experimenting and ive gotn some of the planes that i have mentioned up to 20 - 25k in the air and they still arnt going there speeed!! I just think it would be nice for our aircraft to be going the kick *** speeed there suppost to be halllllllling at! :aok

I believe the red indicator on your air speed indicator is your actual speed.

there is nothing to fix.....you should learn what the 2 speeds mean and why there is 2 speeds to begin with

there is a reason for it......

Being as there is nothing wrong with the way speed is handled in AcesHigh, I would postulate that you are the one that might need "fixed".

Maybe if you spent less time calling "play by play's on range" while folks are trying to clear your countrymates, you'd realize you need to open a book.

He spelled "ridiculous" correctly.  That surprises me.


The speeds are correct in AH.  Altitude affects max speed due to drag and power delivered by the engine.  Power delivered by the engine depends on the critical altitude(s) of the supercharger blower.  In turbocharged aircraft such as the P-38 and B-17 you seen an even curve as the turbocharger provides a constant additional level of air preasure.

On the main page at: http://www.hitechcreations.com/frindex.html select "Planes, Vehicles, Boats" from the "GAME INFO" dropdown.  That has the performance charts for each aircraft.


When testing aircraft in game, give them plenty of time to accelerate to maximum speed as acceleration becomes very slow as induced drag nears the thrust the aircraft produces.
