Hello Arfyhun,
Glad to see you again!
There actually was a lot more going on with this project than I am describing in this thread.
I have never actually described what the experiment was that I was using this project for.
Even with the FW 190A-8 AIR file, there were some issues that needed correcting.
It was done years ago and I know a bit more these days.
What still remains for this project is to do the SCASM corrections, increase the Zero Lift Drag a bit to put it closer to the A-8 and increase the engine power to compensate.
I also never properly tested it for service ceiling back when I was doing the "Engine Tuning Tutorial".
My testing protocol was incorrect and the results are likely to change with the differences in the CL Graph from the P-51D version.
I also need to check out the DP file. There are some assumptions I made that were in error. I found out when looking through a schematic of the Dora.
At some point, I also need to figure out something clever to say about this project.
This is another case in which I thought I had all the pieces ready for a pretty fair Dora and found that nothing was really ready without a significant amount of work.
At the moment, everything is on hold on this project while I am busy working on new Twin-Engine Gauges.
Take Care.
- Ivan.
