P.S. Unless, with “boost”, you meant supercharging and turbocharging. All single engine fighter planes had a form of super- or turbocharging since the 1930s. In fact, most WW2 combat aircraft would be unable to leave the ground without either form of “pushing” extra air into the cylinders.

Tangent; Kinda crazy that turbochargers were so standard, so long before the jet engine had even spooled up. Aside from the heat, they’re the exact same concept lol. Such an intense quest for speed, and the answer was pushing their propellers around.

Interesting documentary if you’re interested:

The turbochargers are not simulated yet.

Luka is already available with global scenery streaming.

Awesome about Lukla.

Any idea if/when they’ll be added? It’s been quite a few years.

And if it’s particularly difficult to code in, couldn’t they just crank up the power some to offset the difference?

Choking along at 275 true speed at 20k is just frustratng lol.

Why are the P-38 and F-4U so underpowered?

Both planes, like most of the competitive WW2 fighters, were known to reach and maintain speeds of 350-450 mph true speed, at 20k altitude. But both of these planes struggle to even reach 20k, and won’t get anywhere near even. 300 true speed, They seem to be a full 100mph average slower than the actual planes at most altitudes. Anyone know why this is, or if it’ll be fixed? I bought this game and it’s content for those planes. And the beautiful scenery. But the plan was to enjoy the scenery from the warbirds. Any information on this topic would he greatly appreciated.

Oh. And please add Hillary-Tenzig airport

Thank you for the answer. Do you know if there are plans to add these features? Or is there somewhere I can find that information out? Im hoping they’ll add war emergency power as well.

The P-38, and F4U Corsair both seem to significantly underperform, particularly at altitude. . The P-38 could achieve upwards of 419-460 mph depending on source(ground speed, so around 250 ias) in level flight at 32,000 feet, and had a service ceiling of 39-44,000 feet. But I can’t even get it to stay in the air at 32k, even if I cheat it up there already at speed, it just slows down and eventually falls out of the sky. The Lightning also had a climb rate of 3,500-4,000, and I can only get maybe 2,500 Same thing with the Corsair. it performs far under the historic figures. Is there a setting or control somewhere that I’m missing? Maybe something in the cockpit? Or, if this is just how it is, will it be fixed?
