Afther som reading on the Curtiss Hawk I understand that 3 types of planes where delivered to the french:
Hawk75A-1 no 0-100 with 950 hp engines 4mg max speed ??? mph
Hawk75A-2 n0 101-200 with 1050 hp engines 6mg max speed ??? mph
Hawk75A-3 n0 201-260 with 1200 hp engines 6mg max speed 311 mph

What ajustments should be made and to which file in order to emulate the different characteristics for each of these planes?
 
My reference has the H75A-1 (later Mohawk I) using the 1050 HP P&W R-1830-SC3G engine (this may be a typo as that model number is the 1065 hp Swedish built version in the J22) with a max speed of 313 mph, the same as the P-36A.

The H75A-2 (later called Mohawk II) is listed as using the 1050 HP P&W R-1830-S1C3G "similar to the H75A-1" which makes sense of the typo mentioned above. No top speed listed, but with the extra weight of guns one would expect it to be slightly slower.
 
How do you that the above characteristic are in the plane files ex.power,speed... etc?
 
In the aircraft xdp file there is a line just below the notes section that sets the Min, Max, and Cruise Speeds. The units are meters / sec.

The Min, Max, and Cruise altitudes are at the very bottom of the xdp file. The units are in meters.

The HP values are in the aircraft.cfg file.
