Thak you the answers.
What I miss in the current 109 FM, is the "notleistung" system (WEP, afterburner, whatever). We see on graphs, that the "notleistung" increase the engine performance about 15-20%, but the in-game top speed increase only a fraction of this value (+10 km/h ~ +2%). Is there a chance that it will be fixed in the future?

You'd have to get into serious graphs to prove it either way, but I think its as it should be, at higher speeds, you need exponentially more HP to accelerate against the drag. You can see it easily in cars, 50% more HP doesn't translate into a 50% increase in top speed.

But once the sequel is released, there obviously won't be any more support for stand-alone CoD.

If I buy the sequel will it improve my CoD ? I ask because I want to continue playing BoB and would rather not be forced to play BoM.....no offence, i'm just English.

The improvements we recieve in BOM will be "tacked" on, by the look of Luthier's response McFeckit.

This is the source site:

I will check the original manuals, but i don't open any FM ticket, i wait the patch (The 2% rate seems low anyway (2%? Who would call it WEP? ), but would you like something more serious technical "analysis" - from the devs - because of this.)
