Thanks. The engine  will no exceed 100% now (and in detail, the 
engine-rpm is not simulated now. I have just a limitation of the torque 
the engine can produce depending on actual rotor-rpm and the derivation 
of the rotor-rpm.  It produces no torque on rpm>100%

In autorotation I was not sure, if the indicated airspeed is correct. 
But probably I think I got confused by the fact, that if I vary the 
inclination of the heli, the speed indicator shows the 
cos(inclination)-fraction of the climb-speed

When flying backwards it shows a positive speed. I think the real speed 
indicator remains at zero.
