AI operates the engine when CEM is off....

;)

Well, Not trying to be a jerk. Just pointing out you guys argue and argue for no reason about aircraft performance when most don't even understand the conditions or the proper settings for the aircraft.

For example!!

You've missed the point completely I'm afraid. When Human Beings flew the real aircraft, obtaining the real test results of the real thing, at no time did AI control the aircraft.

The speed figures obtained in real life should therefore be possible within the simulator when all aspects of control are being managed by a Human Being.

Simply turning off temperature effects makes the Spit 20mph faster at sea level, 'with all gauges in the green', when compared to performance in the same test with temperature effects switched on, also 'with all gauges in the green'.

A possible error in the game's programming is what is being suggested here, connected with the temperature management settings affecting engine performance adversely.

I know AI did not control the aircraft but it is the game that controls the engine when you turn temperture effects off.

Exactly, we are saying the same thing.


It boils down to asking if anything is being operated differently by the game when temperature effects are turned off. Is the oil cooler flaps in a different position, radiator controls, etc....

And two pilots will rarely get the same performance from the same aircraft.

I just showed a friend of mine with a Seminole how to get ~ 7 knots more out of his airplane. All I did was properly lean, set rpm/manifold pressure at it's most efficient approved settings, and use his cowl flaps correctly.

I didn't start the 'mine's better than yours'. I was responding to TomcatVIP's and now drewpee's recommendation to fly both sides before complaining about one. I did. My opinion is that the CoD 109 is easier to fly than the Spitfire or Hurricane.

Curious when Galland himself said the Spitfire was ridiculously easy to land (compare them on CoD!) and the 109 was said to be a handful on takeoff (which it isn't in CoD).

But the underlying issue is that the FMs of most aircraft need addressing according to the opinions of many that fly on either side and according to some of the testing some of us have actually done instead of making simple subjective claims.

klem... it was.

Simply the 109E was an easier plane to fly than the Spit I/II and Hurri thx to its automated system. It was built for tht. EoA.

if you found that it's too easy to TO in a E (what I agree), this is another debate. Nothing related to this "poll".

~S~

Ease of flying is not about managing the systems, the Spit was easyer to fly because it had light and responsive controls as opposed to the heavy controls on the 109, it really does not take much flying skill to operate a prop lever and radiator flaps.

I'm for this

The oil cooler is non-adjustable in the Spit. With temp effects off, the radiator flap is fixed fully open. The test I conducted with regard to speed at sea level with temperature effects on was also conducted with rad fully open.

All parameters which are available to be equalised were equalised. Yet performance is more true to life with temps off than temps on.

Now awaiting results from other game users in other aircraft.
