Perhaps it would be helpful if you would share the performance data you used to model the aircraft as well. I'm doing the best I can here by researching and citing my references but I feel that I am simply hitting a brick wall. I'm sure your data is more relevant and official and I would like to see it as well if you don't mind?

Also, if you look at the date of the document these tests were conducted on the earlier model F4U-1 in 1943. After which the aerodynamic and performance improvements were made and then the C and D models were developed. Take a look at this doc from the US Navy Bureau of Aeronautics dated 1945 on the test results of the F4U-1C and 1D models, FULLY LOADED (defined in the doc), which we also use in the sim:

Would be nice to not clutter up a General debugging topic with a single FM debate.

How is this achieved? Altitude, throttle, pitch, fuel, armament, difficulty switches (overheating on/off)? I have never been able to get this out of a Corsair in this sim in level flight with full real settings or otherwise. Please give me a scenario and I will try to duplicate it.

The issue was already underway in this thread before I made a post. If it would be better in addressed another thread go ahead and move all the posts on this issue there. It isn't my intention to clutter anything up.

Holy crap, what a bloody freaking mess! This is a BUG thread, not a disagree with the developer over every thing they've done with the sim thread. Does anyone know the difference between a bug and your own personal opinion on one plane's flight model? WOW. I'm really surprised anyone bothers.
