Okay seasoned pilots may already know this but this is for those who do not. In the flight sim mode if you are having trouble reaching a desired speed, try climbing a few thousand feet, the higher you go the faster you can reach, I am assuming this is due to thinner air and thus less air resistance. I figured this out doing a test on a potential supersonic bomber. I was very aggravated when I could barely break 500mph. After a tip from a friend and fellow builder and climbed to over 20k ft and I broke 700mph easy! Also for those trying to go the distance: climb higher! With sp physics you will burn less fuel at higher altitudes so you can go further faster but be warned fuel consumption stops at around 100k+ feet and so does thrust! This is the same for jet and prop alike. Hope this helps some! Build on guys!
Yep and that's why commercial airlines fly at 40,000 feet! That and less bumpy go roughy :)

Can't wait lol who will be uploading it? U or hellfire? @UnstableOrbit
@XVIindustries You will have to wait and see.... hehehehehe.
This is gonna make a LOT of people happy.
Oooooooooooh and what is that? :D @UnstableOrbit
yeah i understand the real life physics pretty well, i work with forced induction on cars, but in sp physics it wont effect air intake
@XVIindustries I'm simply confirming his theory that his higher speeds at mid altitudes are the result of lowered resistance. I didn't go into higher altitude affects on air intakes because I'm quite busy managing several chats, as well as working with hellfire on something that will make you VERY happy.
@UnstableOrbit but it also decelerates aircraft due to low air pressure, therefore no air for jets to breathe and it makes prop engines malfunction IRL
It is indeed because of lowered air resistance.
