Deac Wrote:better means superior,Not nessacarly, in that as I all ready pointed out, one mans better is another mans worse, same goes for superior! Now if you don't have anything to support you claims of 'better' or 'superior' or 'neat-o' or 'bitchen' or 'groovy'. That's fine! You wouldn't be the first one to make fact-less, baseless, and un-supportable claims! But, just don't expect people like me to take your word for it. Oh sure, folks like me are not the norm, the norm is the flag waving cheer leaders that would be more than happy if you gave them a P-51 with the performance of a F-15, but me, I don't need that unrealistic edge over someone else to best them. Your mileage may vary.
Deac Wrote:I read somewhere, from a legitimate source,Sorry, but most folks like me wont accept that either, in that again your asking us to take your word for it. Now if you want to do it the right way, go read that thing somewhere again, get the link or ISBN number of the book along with the title and author, or the report number of the test and post it here. And if it is not too much to ask scan it in and post it.
Otherwise guys like me are just going to list you and your claims under the category of myth. And that is not a threat, that is just the way it has been in the flight sim comunity for the past 15 years or so. Ever since the days of th use-net and sims like Air warrior guys have claimed to read somewhere or know someone that did this or that. Makes for neat campfire storys but does not mean squat here in the real world.
For example, here was a case of someone (Erkki) claiming he tested the in-game P-51D-5NA and found it to be 13kph too fast. He claimed to have all sorts of sorce that he never provided, cept the wiki one. I got tired of waiting for him to provide the sorces, so I found my own and did my own test. Turns out the 51 was actull much slower than the real thing. For an example of how to document your claims, check out this link
