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! 
If I were to reply to this like cmustard does on 200, I would call this "question" a HO dweebtard! To the starter of this thread, anything he doesn't understand is "crap". Read and learn young pup.
Air density is the difference between IAS and true AS or GS. There is only about half the air at 6K' over mean sea level (MSL) as there is at 0'MSL. Since airspeed (AS) indicators work by ramming air into a little tube on the airframe it stands to reason that if the air is less dense the AS indicated at a higher altitude will be lower. This doesn't effect the speed that an aircraft moves over the ground GS). The speed an aircraft stalls is based on the IAS, so if a pony stalls at 90 mph and will only get up to 95 mph at 39 K, it is flirting with a high altitude stall, near it's service celing, even though the ground speed may be 380 MPH... there simply isn't enough air going over the wings to create lift.
The AS indicators in AH are correct, It is your spelling that is broken.
Do yourself a favor cmustard, pay attention in your middle school spelling classes, (Mizspelin wurdz isnt kewl) and do all of us a favor and stop insulting people's mothers (and MY mother specifically) on 200. Most people love their mothers and take exception to squeakers insulting them. You can insult me all you want, I take as well as I give, and besides I consider the source, but you do yourself a diservice when you insult family members and risk getting into a physical confrontation in the RW!!:rolleyes:
