All full load out specs add up, but not speeds while clean. That said, the plane is still pretty and fun to fly low hugging the hillsides and clipping tree tops. Other bugs I reported such as a crash when trying to load a flight with a flight plan, a interior light switch that causes the throttle for engine one to not move past 50% and others were confirmed by JF to being fixed in future updates, but not the low Mach speed limits. Yet these are not capable or even close to being able to fly as fast as they should! I expect more from JF. A “Overspeed” warning always pops up around M1.35 (when flying nearly straight down in full burn) which is just not accurate at all.Įven the included manual and at least one of the aircraft selection details about a specific livery (MRCA PO2 XX946) state the aircrafts capabilities of flying well over Mach 2.+ above 32000 feet in level flight (flt 281 5/3/79), with a clean load. But these simulator versions cannot go any faster than M1.29 while clean and level. I found videos, books articles etc that included aircraft development records and gulf war pilots real world testimony that all state the GR1 absolutely should be able to achieve Mach 2plus easily above F元20.

After being dismissed out of hand by JF when I asked why these are so underpowered and max out at M1.29, I spent months researching the GR1. I was skeptical about the modeling of this aircrafts high Mach speed capabilities from the start.
