Title: Perhaps one of the best sights i've ever been on

One of the best sites I've ever been on. It's got chocks full of goodies. Performances charts, firepower ratings, maximum speeds, histories and data graphs. You name 'em.

It even have flight sim tips. The only reason i posted this.

You are aware that the performance data & charts are not real world data but antique ones (1997!) from the game Warbirds? They can and will differ substantially from AH specs.

I'd take that neither as a real world reference, nor as an AH performance guide either. For latter one, use http://gonzoville.com/ahcharts/index.php and Soda's plane comparisons.

I am not sure how accurate that is some of the data pertain specifically to "War Birds" and "World War II" the games.
ie: under hellcat it says the stall speed with flaps in 90 mph. It says there are only two flaps positions. It also says the hellcat has poor control at high speed. Under climbrate it sates the hellcat achieves 5,220 ft/min from 1,000-5,000. In AH these numbers are far diffrent.


It is a cool site and I do find it interesting. It is cool to see how other sims differ. Thanks for sharing  :aok
