I wonder if this, along with the empty pilot seat, added to the back-tumbling? BTW, Erik's data at http://www.a1.nl/~ehofman/fgfs/docs/c150.txt also lists a std and long-range configuration (please ignore my c152 data as his looks more c150-specific and complete); maybe you could add a switch to select one of the 2 to your configuration dialog? It would need an update to the fuel gauges as well. > >Hence the ASI markings are: white arc 35-85 Green: 40-111 Yellow: 111-149 > >and the red line is 149KIAS. > > > > > > > But the ASI markings and the help file gives MPH not knots.

This explains another thing that puzzled me -- that at 60 "KIAS" it was on the verge of a stall, and that climb performance was so different at "65 KIAS" from what I expected :-) actually these were much slower speeds than that... > >2) whenever I ask to reposition the aircraft, > >fgfs sometime freezes with the splashscreen on, and sometimes reports a > >crash as follows: > > > >Position for KSFO is (-122.383, 37.621) > > Crash: Attempted to fly under ground. > >Playing audio after 500.867 sec: intense ground contact > > > >(this is in response to a 'location on the ground' command, 28R @ KSFO) > > > >Sometimes at the same time I also see the aircraft tumbling backwards and > >having its tail going underground, controls held neutral, tailwind never > >exceeding 7 knots.

You should disable metar / Hmmmm.... even an empty aircraft doesn't get blown away that easy. I can't believe it will be blown away by anything under 15 knots, especially with the brakes engaged. Also, the behaviour described above seems buggy anyhow --- why should anything become stuck? > >3) in the cockpit view, I see strange speckles around the yokes, which > >keep moving; you may get the idea by looking at a (still) image at > >http://www.tarunz.org/~vassilii/Images/fg/c150-speckles.jpg > > > > > > > I don't know from where this comes.

All the way to the yoke root, bvut not the grey axis. The speckles seem to be consistent with the 10Hz timer in the .nas file. If I pause the sim, they freeze, unless I try to rotate the view. Another comment wrt the cessna is that, in the "cold start" scenario, you seem to simulate its configuration after the shutdown checklist had been run. However, this means that the carb heat is left off. Also, you seem to have no hotspots on the master switch, which makes it difficult to engage it (other than going to the property manager). Finally, even with the Master off, the ADF seems to be lit up. Other than those, I haven't found any flaws. Great aircraft model, and of special significance to me since I learned to fly in a 152.
