Unrealistic performance of Extra 330LT in "Rally Race Gaube" (Challenges)

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

In the “Rally Race Gaube” challenge (Challenge of the Week), the Extra 330LT exhibits unrealistically high performance, especially the first time the race is played after launching the sim.

In previous versions, the best possible completion time for the race was around 1 minute 26 seconds. Now, it is very easy to reach 1 minute 08 or even faster. The aircraft appears to maintain maximum engine power constantly, without being affected by altitude (mixture) or the effort required to climb.

The plane quickly exceeds its Vne and remains above it for much of the race, which seems abnormal.

I’ve never flown a real extra :frowning: , it’s unclear whether previous versions simulated the Extra 330LT incorrectly, but this level of performance seems suspicious and potentially bugged in the current Sim Update Beta 3.

That being said, the graphical performance in VR is absolutely incredible. The experience is buttery smooth, with no glitches, and overall the best VR experience I’ve ever had with Flight Simulator to date. Truly impressive work. :heart:

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

Always for the 5 times I tested it. FS has been restarted in between to recheck.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

  1. Launch Microsoft Flight Simulator (Sim Update Beta 3).
  2. Go to “Challenge of the Week”.
  3. Select “Rally Race Gaube”.
  4. Start the race and observe aircraft behavior, particularly engine power and airspeed.
