Not 100% sure yet if the 'ideal' conditions in the game equate to 'standard atmosphere' conditions.. Which is what all real world data is converted to, unless stated otherwise. I am pretty sure the 'ideal' conditions are not 'standard atmosphere' based on some of the temps and pressures I have seen thus far.. But the good news is it is a simple mater to convert the CoD data to 'standard atmosphere' conditions, by using the same methods they use to convert real world data

Realism settings: full real. Weapons, fuel, weathering was default (can't change anyway).
Quick mission: Bomber Intercept Low, without enemies. Altitude: 0-50m over the Channel, time: 12:00, i don't know the wind. All speed IAS.
That is the way to do it.. Stick with the same conditions for each test.

Now all you need is to go to the FMB section, talk to Altros and ask him for the C# file that will allow you to log the flight data to a text file as you fly the mission, than you can use that data to verify the test methods (read how you fly) and once that is verified as correct you can than convert the data to standard atmospheric conditions and compare it to the real world data.. Or wait a few weeks until I get my website done!

I have been doing some CoD testing.. But I have been more interested in getting my website done, in light of the fact that the next patch may change the way a lot of the planes currently fly.

That being a pilots's 'perception' of what is going on can be very different from what is 'actually' going on.
