After posting the IL2C test data I started looking for some real world data to compare to.. In that short search I found alot of references to sea level rates of climb but no test data showing the rates of climb per altitudes. In that short search I noted there is the early MiG15 than the later 'improved' MiG15bis. With that said all but one of the references puts the MiG15bis max rate of climb (sea level) at 50 m/s (9,842 ft/min) where as you can see from the IL2C chart the in-game MiG15bis has a max rate of climb (sea level) of ~65 m/s (12,795 ft/sec). Which is a value I have seen the MiG17 quoted at, but only one internet reference put the MiG15bis at that rate of climb.

So I was wondering PeterD what data did you base that rate of climb on? In that it seems like you took the best of the MiG an the worst of the 86 when it comes to rate of climb.

But again, that was just a quick search, Im really just interested in what real world data you based that rate of climb on.
