There's no such a thing like Bf-109 G-10 or is there ?
Allways thought that the earlier vers. were Bf and later Me ?

Thats true of the aircraft types..
Ie early war Bf108, Bf109, Bf110
later ME209, Me163, Me262
But the planes that started with Bf stayed with it.

I'd have somekind of "black hole" in my memory... Too much booze I guess  
What was the reason to dump that Bf and start to use Me instead ?

Staga take a look into this link... http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/Forum1/HTML/002811.html

One of latest posts explains the reason for ME instead BF

Thx Ram

Hangtime: Look here(pg75/76). The Fw 190A-5 in AH performs virtually the same in speed and climb.
Only problem is that it matches those figures with four cannon, but the tested plane only had two.

Juzz, I definitely think you should post that to the bugs forum to make sure it gets seen, and acted on appropriately.
If you don't it might get missed just due to the sheer volume of posts in this thread

One thing I always notice about these threads.  You will get some players, historians or hobbyist that are so vastly polarized toward one aircraft or aircraft type that you are forced to immediately through out any information they may present.  

Typically even if it is massivly accurate.  I wonder if HTC does the same.....

According to this report from '43 (so i am assuming it is an A4 or A5)
 http://www.geocities.com/spades53.geo/pro_190_survey_c_3.jpg

The pilot says the RoC was worse than the spit IX merlin 66 but "probably slightly better" than the merlin 61 spits  - we have a merlin 61 spit in AH.

[funked]

Check out the manifold pressures used on the planes in that test though.  Spit IX was running less boost than we run in AH, while the 190 was running max boost.

[juzz]

Max boost, but the engine was still derated to give it more life.

If you wanted to simulate a derated 1941 Channel front Fw 190A then that AFDU test might be useful. Its fairly useless for comparison with the Fw 190A-5 in AH.

[funked]

Juzz read it again, they were running full boost and RPM on the 190 for speed tests, and the standard climb settings for climb tests.  There's nothing derated about those figures - the speed test settings are the same RPM/MP as AH WEP.

Well Citabria, lets bug HTC till they give us the P-38K   More power in those engines..YEAH!

[funked]

Heheh key word is "the" P-38K because only one was built!

And how hard would it be to put the Hamilton 4-blade actives on the P-38L?

Power my arse, that plane was all about getting rid of this lame Curtiss props
