You are doing the correct thing. airspeed (and altimeter) both have density related errors due to humidity and temperature as you imply. > Note that because of the sqrt, a static-port failure is not that easy > to detect on the ASI -- I disabled the static port at 9000ft, > descended to below 3000ft, and the ASI was overreading by only a > little over 10kt (I doubt anyone would notice that). You may have mixed units; from memory, it should be more than that. I don't have time to check into it right now. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
