Do you have any information who compiled and printed this, and where was it published? I guess it is a translation of an official document? Just being curious.

Anyway, what LtBear is asking for is just not obtainable. I tried to do this for a plane I am working on, whose flight characteristics are unknown due to lack of flight test data, and the result is just not verifiable...

I used the Theory of wing sections (Anderson) for computation of lift, and I ended up with some values which were overestimating the critical AoA of this aircraft (based on similar aircraft and their AoAcrit in IL-2) by 3-4 degrees.

Anyway, in order to do this, you have to have a complete understanding of how the FM is represented in this simulation, and when I say "complete" I mean complete as in the case of its creator, if you get my drift.

I've downloaded this from tailwheel.nl (now the side seems to be down) years ago. Don't know if they made this translation or others.
The translation is accurate, i ve the orginal german documents.

Cool, thx!

LTBear..
I think this has been chewed to death on the UBI forum and if I'm not mistaken about this being the same document discussed, some points to consider.

- The FW tested was not at peak performance for fuel, maintenance reasons.
- It looked to be a Jabo version which generally had more armour plating = heavier.

You'll also notice a glaring contradiction in the document you linked.
The bit about how easy the engine management was, and how the allied test pilots found this to be a problem ????

From this document you cannot conclude a definitive acceleration/turning/performance figure for the FW.
