It doesn't. The solver doesn't actually try to read properties during solution (which would be madness -- you would get different solution results by changing values that aren't in the aircraft definition file). At solution time, the solver assumes that any undefined properties are zero, and applies any of the values it finds in the <control> tags. > > although you can make arbitrary property settings in the > > approach/cruise definitions up at the top.

That's the bug. You commented out the throttle! How is the engine supposed to produce thrust when the throttle input is zero? :) You need *both* the inputs for them to be added together.
