For example, TAS vs. Altitude is a 'level' speed test, as in no change in altitude before or after the TAS value. That is to say you can not dive down from 12kft to 10kft and use that TAS value as the max value at 10kft. The TAS value for 10kft has to be obtained in level flight. That is to say you can not convert altitude into speed (convert energy)
This is a perfect example of a 'theory' that has no real world data to support it..
That is to say, I challenge you to find any real world data on this so called "E-liability" of a Spitfire..
After just a few moments you will realize there is no such data..
Thus no way anyone could compare the in game Spitfire E-Liability numbers to the real Spitfire E-Liability numbers
Thus no way anyone could say how well the in game Spitfire E-Liability is simulated

Which does lead to the interesting question, how do 1C and other company's making flight sims actually model E-Liability numbers?
How do they derive these?
