Plane performance data Numbers

[LTCClark]

Does anyone have a spreadsheet with data for all of the planes climb and speed charts?

I have looked before at certain sites as well as the clipboard variants (which still say aces high II and are varied)

It would be nice to have that data in a spreadsheet to review at times

The climb rates and speeds didn't change from AH2.

To compare any two planes, we have this page:

This helps when I am comparing my plane against another plane I may be facing.  After a fight, I will go back and check out the two planes, and then watch the video I recorded.

What I am looking for is the numbers used to generate those chars.

It would be easier to have them so I can finally make the thing I am trying to make

Or at least an image set that does not vary the speeds and altitude markings like the ones in game do

The AH charts are generated by the flight model. I believe any other lists were made by flight testing.

Also believe this ^^^^ to be correct!

I know several folks have done some data gathering over the years (for select planes), but I haven't found the equivalent of dash-1 charts for all the planes.  If you find a complete data set, I'd love to see a copy! :-)

One of the things I would caution everyone on, is that load out and fuel states can vary tremendously (and so will your performance).  The performance charts are a good starting point for planning (They are calculated on somewhat random total weights), and I'd advise you to use a safety pad if you are planning to stretch gas for a long mission. 

Like Mongoose, I use the comparison charts when doing mission prep or post-mortem film review (usually to figure out "how did I manage to get myself in trouble this time?").

Rodent if you're referring to the AH charts they use differing fuel amounts which are listed in the hanger performance charts.  Some are full fuel but many are not. Some of the player tested data is made with 25% fuel at sea level. Usually the list will specify.

Here is an attached pdf file of plane turning radius put together by an old squaddie.  You may find them helpful in collecting data on planes.

FLS,

You are correct, and I've amended my entry above ...  Thank you

FWIW:  The random planes that I checked charts on before my first writing were all calculated for full internal fuel and nothing else.  A broader check clearly shows that some of the charts use different weights (to include weights that are below clean and 1/4 fuel).

If you use the two plane comparison feature on the home page the weights are not listed so it's easy to miss.

There use to be a page with a speadsheet type layout with a number of parameters covered. I looked through my bookmarks but only found a bunch of error/missing pages.

A search on the boards here brings up something "Slade" put together, but that link is bad too. You might want to send him a PM and ask if he still has the info. I think he called it a "Plane comparison Matrix"

Are sure that you are not thinking about Spatula's Aircraft Comparison, that is/was similar to Badboy's AH Bootstrap ?

Each calculated turnrate , turn radius, Max military speed, Max WEP speed, flaps, etc.....

I don't remember Slade making anything like that, would like to see it if he did....

I'd have to do some heavy searching to find my copy of Spatula's AH Aircraft Performance Comparison App. or send him another email to request another copy

No, I have Spatulas stuff and that isn't what Im talking about. There was a spread sheet layout with color coding to group the aircraft. Im not even sure that Slade was the one who made it, but his dead link is one of the ones I had saved.
