Now for the next 'problem'.
Calculating CN2 and CN1 from the tables of records 1502, 1503 and 1504. The goal is to input an altitude, an airspeed in mach and a throttle percentage and seeing the resultant CN2 and CN1 from the tables.
I have all that put into a spreadsheet... and to test it's accuracy I, of course, went flying in FS.
Unfortunately, matching throttle percentage in FS with the same value in the spreadsheet results in accurate CN2 and CN1 only at sea level. Beyond that, it's always low. I had already asked about my IAP Ratio calculations... but that didn't really help... so, what else is there that can cause it to be incorrect? The CN1 result in the sim is always lower than predicted by the spreadsheet for a given throttle percentage and the higher the altitude, the lower it goes.
Clearly I'm mucking something up...
