You'd just about have to make your own, but there really is insufficient data at this time to do an E-M, u can take the 1g stall speed and multiplie by appx. 2.45 to come close to the corner speed for each aircraft, other than that you'd just about have to fly every one of them off line to come up with enough data and even then it wouldn't be real accurate.

You can get EM diagrams for some of the planes by downloading the following file. The article also contains an explanation of the diagrams and how they can be used.

http://www.netaces.org/genbadz/AH-DACT.pdf

You will need a copy of the free acrobat viewer to read it.

More diagrams exist and will eventually be made available on the HTC web site. Meanwhile, you are in luck, I'm just preparing a set of comparisons for the upcoming Invasion Sicily scenario and the planeset includes the Fw190A5. So an EM analysis for the aircraft you are particularly interested in will be available in good time for that event.

Just curious, was that why you wanted it?

There also are some at simhq.com in the combat corner ( up at the top of the page ) and I think its an Andy Bush write up on B & Z where it compares the P-51 and Spit 9, the E-M's were done by Leon ( BadBoy ) .

:D Not because of the szenario. I've read your excellent artikle at SimHQ and therefore my interest in this diagrams was founded.
Great work Badboy, very interesting artikle!!! I'm looking forward for the 190A5 EM diagram.

Thanks all
