Oops, in an earlier post I was talking about 605A outputs and messed up. 1550PS is at 1.5ata for the 605D, 1.42ata is indeed 1475PS at sea level and I have no idea what the output should be for the 1.35ata restriction on the 109G-6/early (one should think slightly more than the 1320PS climb setting at 1.30ata).
It does seem a little odd the best speed in game for the G-6 is at 7000m when the rated altitude of the engine is 5800m (international rating) and the FTH (5min max) is 5700m (best cruise is at 5500m).
I realise maximum speed of an aircraft is always slightly higher in altitude than FTH due to the IAS/TAS equation, but still Messerschmitt itself gives pretty good speed figures closer to 5000m than 7000m for the G-6 (circa 650km/h).
