Plane Performace

[curry1]

Is there anyway to get charts of only a single plane's performance for in game and not have to compare two side by side?

When in the hanger, you can right click on a plane and get the speed charts or the climb charts for that plane.

Correct but I want to be able to print them out.  I guess I could screen-shot them all but... I'm not going to do that.

I have one query how I know that the wiki page hasn't been changed since a FM update?  And that those are accurate?

Point in case no B-29 on that page.

Because it's a wiki.

...Which means someone would need to go in and add it.

The info off the homepage is more up to date than the wiki... It's from HTC directly.

See Tupac's post for exact menu from the homepage.

Before the webpage update there used to be a "none" option for the second plane type -column. I'm sure it'll get added again when this post is seen.

[Krusty]

I think there is... I asked about it after it was put into the new menu option and somebody pointed out the "none" is in the second plane list (though I don't think it's in the first plane list)


EDIT: You are right. I just checked and "none" is missing. Must be recently, as it used to have it not too long ago.

Exactly so I will restate my question.

How do I know that those charts are up to date?  (Which I don't)  Especially since that page doesn't even have most of the new planes and vehicles.  There have been flight model changes so I am betting that some of those posts in the wiki are wrong.

Perhaps I should just wish for a "none" button in one of the charts.  Because I have actually figured out what I want.

[Krusty]

Generally speaking the charts were pulled from HTC's own servers. Most of them were fairly up to date, however they aren't always fully reliable...

Not all of them are at representative weights, and not all of them show the differences. So for the Seafire they have absolute identical climb rates to the spit9 because it has that... at an arbitrary weight loadout that can't be achieved in the hangar...

They're good for the most part, but you can't 100% rely on them for everything. That being said, because they're good "for the most part" you can trust the wiki charts, "for the most part" (see how that works?).


Exceptions to this rule include:
P-40E (drastically remodeled)
Seafire (bogus weight skews climb)
Fw190F8 (bogus weight skews climb)
...and possible a couple of others...



P.S. Do you really need a 1.9MB animated GIF in your sig? Just sayin'.... seems excessive.

Not sure why the "none" option for the second plane got lost when it got moved to the new site, but here is the old link, which still works.....for right now.

That's our Skuzzy! Always has the answers... when he's not tripping over cables 

Any chance that'll be added to the list of updates in the future ("none" to the current page) ?

[Skuzzy]

I'll have to bump Sudz about it, but it is on my list.
