Thanks for clarifying, David603. That sounds more in line with what I was finding. If you are going to run tests, you really need to specify as much as you can about the conditions: map, fuel load, difficulty settings etc. As has been shown on the Ubi forums, even changes in the 'wind and turbulence' setting can have a measurable effect on performance, in supposedly calm conditions.

If you can provide a track, it is possible to analyse it later using DeviceLink, which is often more useful than trying to make measurements in real time.

I need to do more work with my autopilot to be able to test turn rates accurately, by the look of it, but I think I'm getting somewhere. I'll post a demo of what I've achieved up to now if anyone is interested, though the plane still lacks a little stability.
