Airplane speeds

Post by Tankerace »

Why does the editor manual say to enter maximum aircraft speed in knots, and yet all the "Official" values in the database are in mph? Just curious.

-Seems to be an error. Looking at the official values in the editor database, it seems they are expressed in mph. Consider, for instance, the the A6M3 (338 in the editor). If it´s in mph, we will have 540km/h (the correct speed). If it expressed in knots we would have 625km/h (?????). Much more than any A6M ever reached (except in dive). I would ignore the manual if I were you.

There are serveral of sections in the Editor which look like that they were cut and pasted from other sections.
Maybe someone forgot to "correct" some of these pastings.
