Oops! :-) I really ought to turn these off by default. In fact, the OUTPUT section is destined to be removed from aircraft files and put in a different environment/simulation config file in the future I think. > Some things about the FDM.The engine and prop tie up seems strange. > If I increase the diameter of the prop the idle rpm drops and with a 10'5'' > prop for some reason the prop pitch never got past about 12deg with the > throttle wide open.Is the prop a direct drive off the crankshaft or is there > a gearing property somewhere I have not found. We did implement gearing, but I am not sure what the status if that is, or if the changes made it into the P-51D FDM.

Sounds like drag is too high, or it could be that the prop problems are causing low performance from the engine model ... What I am most curious about is how easy it was to take off.
