I cant even get close to the airport...because my plane keeps slowing down :S

I start at eg. 2000ft and 400km/h (btw strange you cant put it in Kts).. then my speed get lower and lower...so i have to lose altitude... I put 100% power the whole time.. but still im going slower and slower until in the end I crash :S

I only spend 8 minutes in the mission...so fuel is not a problem i assume (and this would make the enige fail completely anyways).

Anyone there who knows the thing stuppid me is not seeing?


PS. am i the only one who thinks the mustang flies like a car :S

I find as soon as you go for sim mode the "speed-bleeed" of the spit is fairly substantial and gets worse when over dover. Are you sure you are not getting damaged? After shooting 7 shades out of the bomber formation (and stukas all whilst avoiding the 109s) I've always landed at least some damage ... I have been using the aviator stick (and pad to check) and found more often than not the return to the airlfield is a limp and the landing the thing tricky (managed once on sim)...but the loss of speed is crippling alot of the time...the arcade mode you can practically break the sound barrier I don't know what to suggest apart from look at the plane model in HUD view for damage...
