The big problem the Air Simulation community has faced lately came right of this : misunderstanding of NACA tests and adjacent airfoils theories.
This had lead several individuals think they can take the fore front of simulation expertise with simple mathematical rules on hands showed (rather agressively) has powerfull and superior computing tools (can you see what I am finger pointing ?) .

The big problem we face is the overall understanding of aero principles and history of flight that are the only grounds where we can make judicious balance btw what can bee estimated mathematically at lobby level and real flight phenomena that are (supposedly) well known.

Yes you have understood my meaning : "Aerodynamics issues" are only "minor problem[s]" in the hands of the so called "Experts".

Hopefully many real flight charts are available around witch CoD devs could build other airplane characteristics.

Sadly many aficionados of one or another plane think their favorite mount is such unique that it can't be compared or extrapolated from an other one.

All is about balancing unless you want put several hundred of thousand of dollar in it.

Jane's in the past hve alrdy done such work. I can't understand why we did drove down that dead-end alley.
