It was certainly well over the 16 squadron you claim.

I have a question to all major participants of this thread. When I ask it, I want you to please bear in mind that I am not trolling and do not have an agenda against anyone (except perhaps Osprey... that selective quoting a few pages back really destroyed any credibility you might have had).

Why is it important?

Should there not be 87- and 100-octane variants in the sim regardless?

octane rating choice should be available yes, particularily for mission builders, regarding online it is unlikely anyone would choose anything other than 100 octane.

Why is it important?.....mainly because this is meant to be a BOB simulator and therefore it should accurately represent the state of affairs at the time and not a game for some people to act out an 'alternate version of history' fantasy.

Osprey makes one selective quote and his credibility is destroyed, Kurfurst can dedicate his entire online existense to selective quoting and bias and people take him seriously?

Hard to say for me if the Hurricanes had their props replaced with CSP's before the changeover to 100 octane fuel was done. Imho, a CSP Hurricane with 87 octane fuel would be unhistorical and doesn't need to be modelled. Effort would better go elsewhere.

Well, there should definatly be 100 octane, as all the evidence from pilots etc shows in this thread. As to 87 octane, no actual evidence has shown one operational flight using that fuel during bob, despite the endless arguments

I guess they would be nice to simulate 1939 though.

Still i think most people would settle for both, not holding my breath that we will see 100 octane spit1's and hurris though.

Don't forget that there were some Spitfire and Hurricane (?) that were equipped with Rotol propellers well before the DH props were modified to CSP.

Assuming they're available. What if someone wants to do a Battle of France scenario?

An accurate BOB sim would have 87 and 100 octane variants available. Your beef ought to be with mission designers, it seems.

I haven't said a single thing about Kurfurst in my previous post. The fact that Kurfurst edits wikipedia etc etc doesn't magically mean Osprey is exempt from criticism. That was a pretty blatant attempt to misrepresent the facts.

Well I'd agree there, but what about a Hurricane with the 2-stage De Havilland prop for Battle of France scenarios?

I don't see where my post argues aginst that issue, my point is we just don't have accurate choice right now.

I made no suggestion that it should be only 100 octane, it's just the way things are going we don't have even sifficiently accurate performance for 87 octane, my beef is with whoever is convincing 1C to give us the innacuracy.
