That is cool!

Can we add performance charts (Climb/Speed) on the clipboard?

Rodent, let me help you out, try this:

Dear Hitech,

I love your game sir.  May we please have performance charts on the clipboard.
Enclosed you will find a case of 24 year old scotch.

Thank you,

Performance charts are available in the hanger in game and you can put any charts you copy on the clipboard, same as custom maps.

In 'another game', you could page a trainer with a button when online in-game. Not a bad idea if trainers are there .

True....OR, there could be a wee little tab that we click on the Knee board and the charts for our plane would pop up (Similar to E6B)  ... of the thousands of sorties that I've flown in war machines (and civilian aircraft), I can not remember a single one where performance chats weren't readily at available (Usually in my lower left flight suit pocket!).

what is the point.  performance charts are only useful if you know your speed and the other fighter's speed.  if you are in the middle of combat are you going to stop and look at the charts or keep your hand on the stick.

Well, if they were only useful for what you say there might not be much use in having them ... but they have all sorts of other uses, and some of those are useful while airborne.

I have nailed many a faster plane in a slower plane.  performance charts didnt help me, speed did.

Having the charts are useful, just because you don't find a need for them doesn't mean others don't as well.
