Well, after a couple hours testing, here is what I found (F4U-C):

3000ft
4.101 -271kias
4.11 - 250kias

20,000ft
4.101 – 222kias
4.11 - 160kias



Carrier takeoff – carrier 28 knots, 100%fuel, 100% prop, takeoff flap setting, speed is from chocks release to clearing bow threshold

4.101- 96kias
4.11 – Upper 80s kias

Carrier takeoff – carrier 16 knots, 100%fuel, 100% prop, takeoff flap setting, speed is from chocks release to clearing bow threshold

4.101 – 85kias
4.11 - upper 70s kias

Carrier with ordinance

Rockets minus 10kias from 4.101
5x500 lb bombs minus 10kias from 4.101
2x1000 lb bombs minus 10 from 4.101 but dipped way below carrier and drug landing gear



Speed to 260kias, from standstill on runway, flying straight and level at 150ft

4.101 – 1min 15secs
4.11 – 1min 45secs


Some of the speed numbers in 4.101 are more precise due to the hud mod (the only mod on my sim)

Granted some of the differences may be slight on a few of the items but "feel" much greater in the sim. Either way, it is a slower aircraft now.

I have to ask; What did you guys do to the FM? I found nothing in the manual.
