Thx, Skuzzy. But what I am after is the speeds for best rate of climb speed at each altitude, and any other important speeds, i.e. Flap speeds, etc.
Thx.

Your best rate of climb is set by default with the auto-pilot speed command Alt-X.
Flaps auto retract at their speed limit so starting high and slow with full flaps and diving will indicate those speeds.
If you look for pilot handbooks online they usually match the flap speeds, climb rates etc.
Your best turn, the highest turn rate and smallest radius, is at the lowest speed you can pull 6g because 6g is when the pilot blacks out. Since you slow down so quickly you can't usually sustain your best turn.
Your best sustained turn is generally around 3g but the speed could be 100 - 200 MPH depending on the aircraft.
Your g load is shown on your accelerometer.
If you look at the climb charts in the hanger you will see the tested weights are listed. Note that the aircraft are not all tested with the same percentage fuel load. Climb rate changes with weight so keep that in mind when comparing figures, for example comparing similar aircraft with different fuel capacities like the P-47 M and N.
