True Altitude?

[Soldier_Fortune]

These are questions mainly adressed to the TD.

Since the patch 4.11, we are noticed that each map has a Ground Level temperature. The published Temp_Guide_4111 provides hints for a right management of the engines avoiding overheatings.

But also I've seen in-game that the GL temperature, indicated for each map, decreases in steps of -6.5 ºC each +1000 m ASL (or -2 ºC each +1000 ft ASL) as it is IRL, and it affects the TAS: in a winter map, at a given altitude, the TAS is slower than the TAS in a summer map, for the same altitude and the same plane.

IRL the free air temperature also determines the True Altitude similarly to the TAS: in a colder map a plane flies a bit lower than the Indicated Altitude read in the altiemeters, and in a hotter map the same plane would fly a bit higher than the Indicated Altitude.

Since both variables TAS and Altitude are used to adjust the bombsight, I would like to ask you:

1) Is the True Altitude a variable included in the FM?

2) Should we use this True Altitude as a setting for the bombsight?

3) Or should we use the Indicated Altitude as ever?

Thank you.
