I do agree with the earlier post about introducing false production value limiters to the FM, with enough little inaccuracies, the FM is bound to get borked to a point where each of our favorite craft gets too far away from what it should be.

That said, how many of you can actually get to the limits of the plane (especially max velocity in level flight) and stay there for any length of time? Turn CEM on and engine heat on, and how long can you stay there now? In terms of pure speed, the theoretical max is relatively unused. If that last 5kmh is what you're counting on to win the fight, you're doing it wrong!

Brilliant post!
