Mosca or badboy had a good site where it listed all of the turn rates and sustained turn radii of Aces High planes. There was also a calculator program you could download too for testing turn rates iirc.

The plane performance page is a good place to start.  It's on the main page, under the Game Info tab.

You can also get speed and climb charts on the clipboard when you're in the hanger.

After a few hours searching and preparing, I have a nice surprise: I have the complete set of the Soda aircraft evaluation ready in PDF's (1 pdf-file/type of plane). Plane-types after Soda made his write ups are not included, such as F4U-1A, Yak-3 and a few others.

If people interested they can give me a shout. I can send the file (zipped) by email. (provide your email address plz,  ;)  )

Another option is: if anyone can tell me if it is possible to attach a 6mb file in a BBS topic, I'll upload it.

A third option is that HTC gets the file on th BBS/downloads (Dale Addink, is that possible?).

And last: wouldn't it be nice to get a few people together, to fill in a "Soda-like" write-up for the missing plane sets. With some input from players we could manage to make the set complete again. I'm more then willing to do the editing needed to get it into the right content and tone.

If I’m not mistaken (I haven’t seen it mentioned yet) most of Soda’s articles are on the AH planes’ page. Look for the section dealing with such and such plane in AHII.

And just so all remember, all problems of the current year are problems of the past:

I downloaded it to my server and can get the first page to open. Once you click on the planes it fails due to "flash" issues. I'll sse if I can get it to work.

Fugitive,

  So how can I save the Book of Dweebs in case it disappears?

  I guess I can copy and paste, just seems inelegant. . .
