Il2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad: Aircraft Data

[Messerschmitt-AG]

Hi,

     I eagerly anticipate the wealth of information that will be provided by the impending aircraft manuals; is there an ETA for this?

 

Nevertheless I am curious about the data input of the simulation.

 

Is 777/1C able to share data on level speed at altitude, climb rate at altitude, engine horsepower at altitude, a range of aerodynamic calculations and turning performance*

It would help me in my analysis of the performance of the aircraft, advantages and disadvantages. It may also have the added benefit of providing a shield against criticism.

 

*e.g.

 

SPITFIRE Mk. i

Turn Performance
300mph - 1,000ft 5,000ft 10,000ft 15,000ft
One 360 - 12.2s 13.5s 14.7s -
Two 360s - 24.9s 28.2s 30.3s -

250mph
One 360 - 10.8s 12.8s 13.4s 14.1s
Two 360s - 24.4s 28.2s 29.9s 33.2s

Sustained
No Flaps - 14.8s 16.0s 17.8s 20.8s
Full Flaps - 15.1s 16.4s 18.1s 21.8s
Best Flap - none none none none
Speed/best - 125mph 125mph 125mph 120mph

Corner Speed and Radii (at 1,000ft)
Speed: 215mph
Turn Radius: 342ft

Minimum Sustained Turn Speed: 125mph
“ Turn Radius: 431ft

Corner Times 1,000ft 5,000ft 10,000ft 15,000ft
180 degrees - 5.0s 5.3s 6.0s 6.8s
360 degrees - 11.3s 11.8s 13.2s 15.2s

360º Roll Rate:
150mph: 6.9s
200mph: 5.1s
250mph: 5.7s
300mph: 7.1s
350mph: 10.4s
400mph: 14.6s

If not, why not. Are combat flight simulator developers sworn to some sort of masonic secrecy?

Guess you have to gather your wanted data oldschool with paper and pencil.  Afaik the dev's are resisting to publish any data they have. Sometimes they leak a little bit but nothing really published. Its their choice, they can do it. And because we have no tool which can give you the data out of the files, you or we have to gather those datas manually. Hard work for something which will bring us not much benefits because, hell nobody would listen to us.

 

Feel free to run against windmills but I doubt you will have a lot of fun.

Hi,

     It's a pity if that is the case.

 

I guess I will have to do manual flight testing of the aircraft. Then analyse the data sets. Conclude the performance characteristics.

 

All I want to do is be able to compare the strengths and weaknesses of various aircraft to develop tactics and tips for each aircraft.

Hi all,

          Delighted to see the reversal of policy, if that is what it is, with the latest post in the developer diary (123 - February 26th 2016).

 

This is what I have been asking for all along. A reference point for aircraft performance.

 

I appreciate the concerns developers have about releasing such information but I am here for historical air combat not politics or ego or free access to expensive data.

Eagerly awaiting the Battle of Moscow,

 

Best Regards,
