I agree %'s are more appropriate here, however I feel the 100% rpm figures (that the %'s are calculated from), as such will become useful as we start playing with shaft torque calculations to make things like turbos from shaft driven superchargers and power recovery turbines. > Seriously, if you want a change, ask for it.

(Never ever accept round-da-clock-to-meet-everlasting-deadlines just to get your business going.) I stand firm on the B29's R-3350 .35 gear ratio, though. ;o) ..the other change I would like to see in YASim (and the other FDM's too), is running independently like JSBSim can do, so we can simulate one plane with several different networked FDM's to see how they differ in responding to gusts, ice, vortices etc., should help debugging and build better data on modelling new planes. By independently, I mean running YASim, LaRCSim, -UIUC etc outside of FlightGear, I see no need to drag along dead weight, the graphics _is_ the heavy part of FG. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;o) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry... Scenarios always come in sets of three: best case, worst case, and just in case. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
