yeah well I went back and tried to recreate those results again at 18,400ft... could only get the mkI up to just a hair over 245 IAS and the mkIa only 240 IAS at 18,500ft.

all my tests Ive been running have been at full boost (gate pushed forward) and at full coarse pitch. The boost drops from +6.5lb to +4.5lbs at altitude. I fly with CEM on and the overheat option off.

it seems like the planes are a bit too slow.. but their boost levels are too low as well so that seems to have something to do with it.

they should all be around 270- 275 IAS at that alt.

Im gonna keep testing too see if its not "pilot error"
