I did not comment compressibility because IvanK already did. FYI I already had these data before 2007 when I first modeled compresibility in il2 engine and effort to implement it to DT patches was already running for some time before this thread even started.
Otherwise you are right, I should get to work, I already wasted too much time on this conversation. Thank you for your participation in this thread.

The point of talking about the old thread was to illustrate just how much of an issue it was at the time. That isn't to say it's not an issue now. It took quite a bit to get some changes implemented some of which were made public and some weren't.
I'm glad you guys are working on the compresibility portion of the sim. It's clear the sim was meant to be a tactical ground pounding sim with little in the way of coming close to Mach. I'm glad to see some attention was made to high Altitude performance and the addition of high performance aircraft. It's clear some more attention would be good. It's obvious from a testing perspective without the tools there aren't any maps with standard temps and pressures to do some actual testing. None that I know of at least. Hopefully some of these third party tools will mature and you guys will have a positive effect in this regard. Then there can be no whining.
I certainly hope you guys have the opportunity to address some of the issues raised wheather you think they are there or not. The fact is if you look you will find fault with some of the modeling of this game. It's after all a 40 dollar game not a multi million dollar study sim.
I hope that some of the built in limitations of DM FMs can be expanded and modeled so the sim reaches yet another level beyond what we have today.
Good luck in your efforts.
