kind of a blanket statement don't ya think?
I think the point about posting or not posting data was to eliminate all the "imaginary" results. Like "rasaero said I flew mach3" or "rock sim said it flew mach4"
Perhaps saying it happens "all the time" is a bit over the top. But they DO screw up. More often than we would like.
I think it would be interesting to do a study.
For ALL flyers, how many accelerometer based flights in a year, and out of that, what percentage was ridiculously unrealistic? Like a 3 grain 98 going almost 100K at M3+...
BTW... That same bird flew again that very day, and the files from both accelerometers were back in line with the real world. Change over 11K @ .9 Mach. So accelerometers DO experience the occasional unexplained glitch.
As for ppl posting sim results... You can ask that sims be excluded, I think most folks will honor that request. But some won't. When they tell you it's a sim result, you know to exclude that from your data. And when they tell you a 2 second 54mm K did 48000 feet, well...
