Hi everybody,

I am going to ask a very stupid question.

I am not able to reach any top speed defined in the view objects database.

For ex, bf109G-14 is written to have 660km/h at 6500 m, when I trim the aricraft to netureal at 110% throttlw + MW50 I can only reach 450 km/h (radiators closed)

Am I doing something wrong or these numbers are only permitable top dive speeds?

Thx for the answers...

The top speeds in IL2 are majorly borked. Ever taken a Me262 up to 9000 meters? It struggles to stay above stall speed (despite the fact that 30,000ft was its designed operating altitude)

Look for True Airspeed(TAS), i think that you are looking at Indicated Airspeed(IAS)

Oh do I wish something could be done about these totally wrong top airspeeds on different planes. The jets are the absolute worst imo. Only the He-162 and me-163 comes close to what they are suppose to be. Makes flying the jets pretty much suck.

I am quite a newbie but which one this digital help at the lower left corner of the screen is displaying?

I saw that on Me262 there is two needless that are moving one white and one is orange.

Digital one on the lower left corner is stays same with the white one so is this the TAS???

Thc again

[Kahari]

the TAS would bee the one that shows the higher speed

the digital stuff shows the indicated airspeed

In normal view what you see on the left bottom corner is IAS (which you can also read from the cockpit speed gauge)
To see the TAS do ctrl+F1, cockpit disappears and in the left corner you'll have TAS. To return to normal cockpit mode do ctrl+F1 several times.
With the few planes I tested some time ago ( some BF109, FW190, P47, P51 etc variants) , I could match pretty well those top speeds, maybe a couple (5 or so) of Km/h less but that's ok
