I hope the patch fixs this and the under powered Spits Ia supposed to be able to do 310mph I can not get it over 240mph all trimed out! 25 % fuel and it's not doing it.
S!

IMHO that statement is way incomplete.

At what speed and G´s???

ANY aircraft can mantain what is called a sustained turn, in which no energy is lost. For a given altitude, airspeed and power setting (provided the engine power is enough) there is always a number of G´s which will give you a sustained turn. if you pull more G´s you bleed off energy (loose altitude or speed). if you pull less G´s you gain energy (increase speed and/or altitude).

It is a little more complicated than that, but that is the big picture. I recommend you take a look to the E-M chart concept. i.e http://www.combatsim.com/review.php?id=133
