FW190a8 is modeled incorrectly.........

[hazed-]

BIGCRATE take this elsewhere ........

I dont want the thread locked off because of this sort of thing.

If HTC chooses to ignore everything in here then fair enough but I dont think they do.The fact HT has answered you means hes read some of it.

From what ive read and discovered since posying this thread  it seems the 190a8 in my book is a GM1 version. SW posted his figures and it seems his and mine are a mixture of wep/non wep times for speed.

HTCs climb times in AH are slightly off what my book says up to 17-18k then really off above that so now i'll wait to see what people think. and i have info on 109-g6 and arado and ta152 H so ill be doing tests on those soon.

The climb to alt times are here for all to see. If HTC posts a reason mine are different Id be satisfied but Ive done my part.Ive tested, Ive given details of where i found the info and told them im dissapointed. Now unlike you i dont need to hear every 2 minutes that its being looked into.HTC has the choice and so do I.
I kind of hope htc goes and buys this book as a reference as it has excellent schematics of the entire aircrafts, schematics of all their cockpits.Descriptions of flying characteristics, flap deployment speeds and all manner of usefull info.

They can look into it themselves or ignore it.I can continue playing or stop paying. Im still paying right?

I do request that HTC models this GM1 version or adds it as a perk add on and ill gladly pay high perk costs for it.
You dont like the P38 model? give them info you have on it and its sources, go test the AH model and prove them wrong or make them second guess their info.

Or stop paying.

mind you, HT do you think there 'might' be somthing wrong here? if not ill stop testing it and move on to something else heheh.

BC forget that piece of junk and start flying Bf-110.
Remember not to dive too fast; It has a bad habit to lose ailerons on the way down... makes landings difficult

BigCrate, your insane if you think the 38 is not a good plane, especially since its damage resistance was increased radically. And if you look at arena usage, you'll see its quite popular, the last time I looked it was in the top 5 planes in the arena.  But this crap of "its suppose to be one of the best" is pure ..... well, I just use the word crap.  You've read too many accounts of P-38's fighting slow Zero's in the Pacific.

Hazed, the charts show climb rates vs altitude and from them you can determine if the plane is climbing correctly.  Just put the plane in auto climb and check the climbrate every 2k or so, and write it down up to 30k or whichever alt you want. Then check it against the charts.  Note that at higher altitudes, this won't be exact because auto climb uses best climb speed for sea level, and at high altitudes you will need a slightly higher best climb speed to match the charts.  But it should be close.

Gotta run, I'm off to Austin TX for the week.

Hazed, I checked my books last night and they appear to agree with the information you posted here.

It states that the GM1 boost was rarely fitted, but it's not clear if the test is with or without MW50 onboard.

So again, I'm not sure.. I'll do some more reading tonite.
