i wasnt misleading any kind of anger in any direction, i was purely acting on "It is almost has if the in-game MkV is a 1941 version (or a Russian 87 octane fuel model) but with less weight than in RL, therefore the incorrect optmistic climb rate. "and
"To have any historical accuracy, we would need two new slots for a 1941 (or Russian 87 octane fuel) and 1942 (British 100 octane fuel) Spit MkV."

no bad feelings mate, just conflicting opinions on whether we should mess around with FM or create Fm that is suitable to peoples personnal pallette(can you imagine it?" Oh i cant beat that la7 so its Fm must be wrong") Thankfully not many people are able to mess with this, otherwise we`ll end up with Foo-fighter Doras and spitfires that handle`s like a garage door.

That doesn't mean we should just accept things which already handle nothing like they should and be done with it. Those here who can do FM work know what they're doing and research these things before they change anything, and in any case edited aircraft must be in a new slot. I see no harm in somebody going through and creating new-slot FM edits of the existing aircraft for accuracy, as some aircraft are quite plainly not entirely right.
