Title: Speed & Climb Charts Inflight
Post by: bongboy1 on November 01, 2012, 05:27:45 PM
I think we should be able to view the speed and climb charts while inflight. Its kinda dumb that we can only view them in the hanger. I'm wondering, what altitude is this fighter fastest at or what alt is the wep most efficient at.  :joystick:

Print off a reference book. Its what I did.

Speed/climb charts organized by Country, type, and model, along with range/flight time at 0, 10, 20, and 30K (after climb-out on Mlitary power) for both 100% and 100 + DT if available, ordnance options, and WEP limits.

Added GV section, with armor layout, and a penetration table with more incriments than the AH one has, turret traverse rate, speed, rate of fire, and optical magnification.


Also included some reference pages like the typical radio channels used by some of the squads I flew around with, and some maps and a ruler so I could find the range to and from various places on the map for FSO and Scenarios.

You can find the charts by R clicking on the plane in question inside the hanger or you can look under game info/planes on the ah website, it also has a plane comparison tool.  If you want to see the charts in flight you can go out to windows and visit the website then come back using the windows command that escapes me right now because I have a key on my keyboard with the windows logo that does the same thing.

Charts are available on the training web page, and for the recent additions, I brought up the charts in hanger, zoomed in, and did a screen shot.

For the rest of the stuff, I did it myself. Old squad CO always would ask what the flight time for a certian aircraft would be with 100% fuel, so I eventually just made a reference book.

+1 but only for the aircraft you are flying.

-1 for other aircraft.
