Esco Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Would be nice to have an in game version of the old “IL2 Compare” for all Combat Pilot aircrafts using known performance data. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boom Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Agree. Very useful, as well as just interesting to look at the figures. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonan Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Efectively these comparison charts helps to decide to turn, climb, dive or simply run depending the enemy you are facing. I find them useful specially in multiplayer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find them useful specially in multiplayer. Thing is, this was - and I guess it should be - player generated specs. I doubt that it would be reasonable to expect the devs just handing out their internal test and spec data.

Feldgrün Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 I'd be interested to see a comparison in performance between flight sim games. In some games I've loved a plane, and in others have avoided it. There's a definite difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Lee Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Historical performance data is easy enough to find for American aircraft at least. A book like Francis Dean's "America's Hundred Thousand" has tons of data charts in it, on a variety of American fighter aircraft. Coming up with appropriate coefficient numbers to assign to the various parts of the 3D model is where the trick lays. Perhaps a program like Birhle Engineering "D-Six" might be used to develop a flight model from the 3D model. FM testing can then be done the old fashioned way in game. I made lots of test flights in various P47 versions from EAW and SFP1 for mods at one time or another. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Lee Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I should hope the CP devs have it; it is an excellent source. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
