FW 190 Dora charts

Recommended Posts

Just some charts I made for the Dora showcasing it's performance characteristic.

 

Maximum speed chart created by gathering data from several historical tests (speed adjusted for compressibility error). Top speed at SL confirmed in game with closed radiator flaps.

Climb chart created with data gathered from a single historical test.

Roll rate chart created with data gathered from historical wind tunnel test. peak roll rate confirmed in game.

Turn time chart created with data gathered in the game. I did several turns, picked the best 3 and averaged the results. Test done at full fuel, so obviously the Dora will turn better with less fuel.

If you want any more charts done, just provide me with the data and I'll do them (goes for the P-51 as well).

Thanks for sharing. This looks interesting and useful.

 

You're welcome :)

 

what program did you use for that and where can i get it

 

Microsoft Excel. It comes bundled with Microsoft Office.

 

Or you can download Apache OpenOffice, which is free, and has much of the functionality of it's commercial cousin.

Guys I need your help.

 

I need someone to test for me what the maximum speed of the P-51D is at SL with closed radiator flaps and WEP. I need this to confirm if the chart I'm using is correct.

 

Also, the P-51D best turn time with and without flaps (average of 3 best). Turn should be completed without loss of speed. That is, if you start the turn at 300 km/h then you should also finish it at 300 km/h.

 

I'd do it myself, but I do not have the P-51 module. So, is anyone up to it?

some Pony speed data:

default map, I did not change any weather conditions

 

61"inHg, 3000RPM, 67% fuel

both radiators fully closed : 577 km/h

both radiators fully open : 532 km/h

 

67"inHg, 3000RPM, 67% fuel

both radiators fully closed : 604 km/h

both radiators fully open : 554 km/h

(with only oil radiator fully open : 589 km/h and with only coolant radiator fully open : 566 km/h)

 

during both flights I tried to keep altitude between 5 and 10 meters above sea

 

I have to say sorry to ED, because I somewhere here accuded ED of low Pony performance...

may be, something with cooling is not perfect :)

P-51D

All data tested at 67"Hg, 3000rpm, 68% fuel

 

ALT, Open radiator, closed radiator

 

SL, 590 - 612

2750m, Low blower 650 - 666

7500m, High blower 706 - the engine died after 30 seconds with coolant radiator closed.

 

I've got a really crappy Joystick, so your speeds may be up to a couple of kph faster than my results.

Yoyo himself said a while ago that P51 seems to be slower than during release. It might be that auto radiator option opens too much creating excessive drag

Great contribution!

Is there something like that for the Mustang and 109 so that I could compare them? It doesn't need to be as an actual overlay.

 

Also, the following is a nice addition

I did a comparison chart of the 5 dcs ww2 fighters over a year ago.

As for the chart from yo yo, remember that it's without MW-50.

Thanks for the link.

 

I value your contributions, I do. But I'm going to have to agree with GGTharos on the most popular charts posted on ED forums

http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2092503&postcount=30

 

I.e. they say something but hardly focus on the important stuff. Take the climb performance for example. Max RoC vs altitude chart is more useful to buyers or tacticians perhaps rather than to combat pilots. As a combat pilot I need to know the following about climbing performance:

- what is the maximum climb rate airspeed at a specific altitude I.e. what airspeed is going to provide me the best Rate of Climb

- how the above value (the magic airspeed!) changes with altitude

 

Next in line are airspeeds for maximum sustained turn and instantaneous turn. Also with altitude variation. And you're pretty much covered. The rest is of far lower importance.

 

I've spent over two hours over the weekend seeking for the data here on the forum but I haven't found anything useful. I found some in-game turning performance charts but thr description of the chart lines was so convoluted I didn't even bother to save it.

The best climb speed will usually be given in the manual of the aircraft.

 

From memory, I think the best climb speed for the Dora would be around 300 km/h IAS at all altitudes. Same for the P-51. For the K-4 it would be around 280.

 

Best turning speed for a sustained turn will be about the same as the best climb speed. For instantaneous turn it will obviously be higher, but I don't have the numbers for that.

You are right it is in the vicinity.

 

For a jet, best rate of climb equal equals best turn velocity.

 

Props are a little different so best turn occurs at Prmin In Accordance With the velocity change in the thrust relationship for the specific speed but the premise you mention is correct.

 

I like your work. PM me anytime if I can help or you need data! If I have it, I will share.
