Chinook in MSFS
By @Ummagumma
Who is responsible for limiting the Chinook's speed to 100 mph in MSFS 2020? It can almost double that speed.

There is absolutely no such limitation on our product. It can easily do 160kts on MSFS

Now, that being said, a few things to consider:
- CH47D generally cruises at around 140kts. Speeds above introduce lots of vibrations in the cockpit and its generally avoided. Vibrations at high speeds will be introduced in the next CH47D Update.
- Sling loads create a lot of drag and therefore performance is reduced. However, this is in fact desired as high speeds also introduce higher stresses on the loads and you may end up snapping the ropes (this is actually modeled in our product)
