Very much new to MSFS so just learning the basics.
I purchased the Typhoon Jet via the marketplace on the Xbox Series X, but i am struggling to get up to the > 1,400 knots that i know you can. I am getting speeds of 1,100 or so at low altitudes.
I have most of the settings set to easy, and i have been toggling the afterburner but with no effect.
I am sure i am doing something wrong thats obvious!
Any advice would be good 
I’m afraid it’s an absolutely appalling model and virtually none of it is accurate.
Yes i understand it isnt popular but it was cheap enough.
Anyway, i have watched enough videos of people getting around 1,400 knots but it’s something i can’t seem to do, so hopefully somebody can help 
No, you aren’t doing anything wrong, except your knowledge of aircraft speed.
You go faster at higher altitudes.
This performance data for the Typhoon is from the Google Wiki.
*Maximum speed: 2,125 km/h (1,320 mph, 1,147 knots) / Mach 2.0 at 11,000 m (36000 feet) altitude
1,530 km/h (950 mph; 830 knots) / Mach 1.25 at sea level.
Thanks, yes i think i understand the basics of all that, i am just going by several videos i have watched of people achieving around 1,400 knots at very low levels with this aircraft. Maybe older versions and recent updates have corrected it, i don’t know?
I haven’t used this for along time.
The model has changed. You are watching old videos from a previous patch. I just tried and the max air speed is 1100kts @ ground level. As people have told you air speed does not equal ground speed.
Previously it was a broken/badly applied model that you could fly into the space limits. With Asobo introducing jets I imagine that the Eurofighter has had its wings clipped so to speak.
Thanks for that, much appreciated! I kind of assumed that would be the reason, but nice to see it confirmed
