Thrust vs. Prop Pitch

[mcler002]

i think we should now look at actual aircraft performance on the game...

a) what top speed have you got out of the me 109 e3 (for example)
b) what was the ata
c) what was the prop
d) what attitude where you flying

for example i managed to get up to 450/ 460 kph in the me 109 e3... with full throttle (so about 1.3 - 1.35 ata) and prop pitch down to around 10:00 - but the thing is, you need to remember that prop pitch needs to be monitored (like all other things in the aircraft) at most times... especially in combat! I was rather impressed 9or very lucky) to outrun a couple of aircraft on the Repka 3 server just now (before it crashed?)... so yes, any tips of improving the speed above 450 (besides diving), im all ears!
