What a crazy little talk we've got there. I'm waiting for such arguments when it will come to talk abt any Spits Mk max speed and xxlbish boost.

I hope so ;)

Statement is not good enough, especially when it comes from the manufacturer. Ok I see your opinion, now we need to get some evidence and exatc numbers. So, again - what engine, what settings etc?

SO let's be raisonable and assume without too much headaches: 95% were in 500ish and 5 % were 475+ish. Some rare birds will do more evidently.

Of course, but what settings, what engine, what about the other rated power? This is not a history book with a figure, this is a flight sim.

Well I am only reading the illustrations when I am reading history .... but I hve to say that the technicals details in red little riding hood were a bit tricky for me ... ;)

According to the discussion here http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=5585

the DB601Aa was used for the fighter-bomber 109's, Do215 and so.

That's not really what is being said in that forum at all :o Did you have a look at the info I've sent you via PM?

One thing i have tested, FTH for the Bf109 in the sim is 4.500m, so it must be the DB601A1 modeled.

It's the A1. There's an Aa in the game as well but no aircraft use it currently. Both the Aa and A1 have 1020 PS listed as their "maximal power" ratings, whatever that means.

RL data I've seen says that at 2400 RPM at FTH the BD601A will make 1020 PS but the Aa should be higher, and both should be much higher at sea level. Possibly this is the reason.
