wrt the report.. I do provide the details, for those simmers that can understand, at the same time I boil it down to a simply single bar graph that ranges from 0 to 100% for those who don't understand.

wrt how real.. Ill say this.. No flight sim ever 'was', 'is', or 'will be' perfect. With that in mind there are other tests that they didn't always do that really need to be taken into account for a full up over all realism test.

For example, roll rate testing was the exception to the rule. We only have a few test reports on that to comp to, just to mention one. There is also the time to climb testing that was done. That is a little more common and can be found for most aircraft. But the top speed and the rate of climb were the two most common and two most telling test types done in WWII.

Later in the 50s they did more specific excess power types of testing once they realized the rate of climb and top speed were both measures of excess power. Sadly you wont find much if any data on that from WWII in that it was not really standard until the 50s.

So, since the rate of climb and top speed are the most common and most telling I limited the comp to those to parameters
