Here's the real deal:

and this is what I can do right now (without changing computers and firing up the sim):


EHM-2155 Mariano:
Guys have you seen the video I posted? How the aircraft pitches up and climbs at 3,000+ FPM, then levels for a tiny bit and then will go back to pitch 45 degrees up no problem? I thought you'd find it weird, certainly more weird than just attributing it to an 100 horsepower difference.

I mean did you watch as I leveled the plane at 9000 or so and pushed it to over 160 knots in a few seconds?

It feels like it has 2 RR-Merlin engines under the wings to be honest.

Can't see the instruments properly in any of the airliners.net photos I found, whereas...

Perfect, I can read the text on the instruments (hence why I asked...) ;D

Well, personally, no, but I was there when you were zipping past me like you were in a jet... The extra 100 (and a bit) horsepower brings me closer to the published data for the -300 (which the PAD claims to be and the Aerosoft is); however, there is still work to do on the PAD to bring it back toward the published performance.

The De Havilland Mosquito, eh... ;) Great plane, but you wouldn't want to use it for bush flying.

OK, watched it now, and very instructive it is too Mariano; thank you.

The performance is clearly far in excess of what the model claims.

I especially enjoyed the engine fire at the end. ;D
