Has anyone else seen this site?
http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hangar/8217/perf.html (http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hangar/8217/perf.html)
It would be great if someone with way more knowledge than me could do something like this for all the AH planes.
-
The source code for the applet is at the bottom of the page, but unfortunately - 2 of the files are missing! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
If you want I could do some more .gif's like this one(NB: Spit 14, F4U-4 and P-47M are "real" numbers, the rest are AH performance):

(edit - seems geocities doesn't allow remote viewing of images anymore...)
The applet would be infinitely more useful though, as you could compare planes much more easily than on a cluttered graph with 20+ lines on it(plus I'd run out of colours to use!).

Juzz, If thats the one I'm thinking of, I have the applet working on my old website and I have the code.
Its a matter of sitting down and "mapping" all the break points in each aircrafts performance curves.

That would be great Verm. You da' man!
-
Vermillion; e-mail an example of the data file the applet uses and I'll input all the AH fighter speeds.
-
Will do... If you don't hear from me within a few days, send me an email reminding me. Its gonna be a busy week at work for me and I don't want to forget to do this.

I know I'm probably pushing my luck since someone else is doing the work, but... Any ETA on the finished product Juzz? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) This would be a great utility. Maybe HTC will put it up on thier site as a link of the individual aircraft pages.

Why does the P-47M speed scale linearly in direct proportion to altitude when none of the other planes do?
-
Frost, we're working on it. Right now Juzz has finished the data file, but I'm having a file format problem on the website end. And Ihaven't figured out what is going wrong, so as soon as I have it fixed, we will get it out to you.
Sancho, are you asking about the difference between the turbosupercharger on the M model versus superchargers on the other aircraft?

Your a stud Verm. Many thanks to you and Juzz for all your work.

The P-47 is the only plane on the chart with a turbocharger -> constant power up to it's 30k critical altitude.
The other planes have superchargers -> varying power over altitude.

Ok thanks. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) I need to do a little more reading on that turbosupercharger. Where's my P-47 pilots' manual... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
