I've placed your Patch Data on top of these and projected the sea level speeds (see attached) and both are looking too slow from sea level to 20k and 16k respectively. At sea level the Spitfire is looking to be 255mph instead of 283mph (28mph slow) and the Hurricane 240mph instead of 262mph (22mph slow).
Can you please confirm that the patch FM is still being adjusted to RL data (or that it will be)? |
Yeah I did it by hand yesterday on top of the Kwiatek charts of the Hurricane, and wrote here the same ... Hurricane is penalized below 3000 m ... again, provided that the historical test data is reliable.
